Primal Tallow Body Butter
Rediscover the power of traditional skincare with a modern twist
At Leafillie, we believe good skincare shouldn’t be complicated. Our Primal Tallow Body Butter takes inspiration from the way our ancestors cared for their skin — simple, wholesome ingredients that work together to protect and nourish. We’ve blended time‑honoured ingredients with modern research, creating a body butter that’s rich, nurturing and good for everyday use.
Why Grass‑Fed Tallow?
Tallow has been used in soaps and salves for generations. Dermatologists say this rendered beef fat forms an occlusive layer on the skin, helping to prevent moisture loss. When sourced from pasture‑raised cattle, it contains more vitamins and healthy fatty acids, making it a natural choice for a deeply nourishing base.
Botanical Oils That Bring Balance
To lighten tallow’s heaviness and add moisture, we mix in cold‑pressed jojoba oil and a touch of castor oil. Jojoba’s fatty acid profile closely resembles our skin’s own sebumhealth.clevelandclinic.org, and it’s packed with vitamin E, B and antioxidants that fight inflammation and support healinghealth.clevelandclinic.org. In small amounts, castor oil contributes a silky texture and enhances moisture retentionhealth.clevelandclinic.org, while avoiding the irritation pure castor oil can causehealth.clevelandclinic.org.
Natural Waxes and Powders for a Smooth Texture, Natural Feel
To achieve the right balance of richness and absorbency, we blend unrefined beeswax with a touch of arrowroot powder. Beeswax helps give the butter structure and forms a breathable film on your skinrevivalabs.com. It naturally softens and calms irritation, and it even attracts water to help keep skin hydratedrevivalabs.com. Arrowroot powder—an all‑natural starch—absorbs excess oil and moisture, ensuring the body butter glides on easily and leaves a silky, non‑greasy finishnewdirectionsaromatics.com. These ingredients aren’t there to steal the spotlight; they simply make the blend feel as good as it nourishes.
Vitamin‑Rich, Plant‑Based Boosts
Rosehip seed oil is our secret weapon for extra nourishment. It’s rich in vitamins A, C and E as well as essential fatty acidshealth.clevelandclinic.org. These nutrients help calm inflammation and encourage collagen production, improving the look of fine lines and scarshealth.clevelandclinic.org. We fortify the blend with a bit of natural vitamin E to help prevent moisture loss and protect cells from damagehealth.clevelandclinic.org.
Scented With Warm Vanilla Notes
Instead of synthetic fragrances, we use benzoin resinoid essential oil. This resin has been prized for its sweet, vanilla‑like aroma and gentle antibacterial propertiesnewdirectionsaromatics.com.
