Warm and sweet, with all the complexity that comes from infusing real vanilla beans in tallow. Native to our neighbor to the south, Mexican vanilla is a threatened species, with many growers abandoning the industry to find a more profitable use for the land on which vanilla once grew. We choose Mexican vanilla because it takes less fossil fuel to get to our door, it supports our vulnerable southern neighbor's heritage.....and, we just like the scent better. We infuse whole beans in tallow for many weeks before straining, then mix in locally sourced beeswax. The result is a wonderful, warm scented lotion that your skin will love.
Our tallow is very concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
Mexican Vanilla Tallow Lotion is offered in four forms:
Solid tallow lotion bars, large and small sizes, are poured into beautiful molds and packaged in hand- folded origami boxes. They have a generous amount of locally sourced beeswax in the formula. To use, simply hold the bar in your hand and rub into dry skin. Large bars are 3 ounces; small ones are 3/4 ounce.
Tallow lotion sticks are packaged in a biodegradable push-up tube. The formula is the same as the lotion bars. To use, push up from the bottom and rub on skin. These are great for travel. Size is 70 ml.
Creamy tallow lotion is made with significantly less beeswax, making a soft, creamy lotion. It’s packaged in a 4 ounce reusable glass jar.
