One full size, 4oz bar of pure goodness. A subtle smokiness intermingles with pine forest air. This soap takes you on a backcountry getaway, where luscious cedar, birch, and fir gather round a crackling fire. Just bathe in it! Tallow makes the perfect soap. Pure and simple. Gentle enough for the skin, effective enough to wash dirt and grime away, non-comedogenic, and ultra moisturizing. But tallow doesn't JUST clean the dirt away, it also deeply nourishes the skin! Some of the very earliest soaps were animal-fat-based, and it's clear to see why. From babies to grandmas, these tallow soaps are for everyone, and they're made consciously and sustainably from the tallow of pastured, healthy, happy cows. Inside and out, quality matters. Whether your skin is dry, oily, acne-prone, aging... tallow is great for every skin type! Campfire ingredients: Saponified tallow, essential oils (fir needle, birch tar, cedar), smoked sea salt, activated charcoal, birch bark, honey "Why tallow?" The fatty acids in tallow are much closer in molecular structure to the oils our own skin produces than the more commonly used plant oils. Tallow is is extremely rich in the same kinds of lipids present in youthful, vibrant skin. Being chock full of vitamins A, D, E, & K doesn't hurt either! "What about acne prone skin?" Tallow is a God-send for many people with acne-prone skin or eczema. The nourishing, vitamin rich, and gentle qualities of tallow are very healing and calming, helping to moisturize and restore natural balance. Everybody's skin is different, but tallow gets rave reviews for a reason! "Do you have one without essential oils?" If you are sensitive to natural fragrances like essential oils, you're in luck because we stock an essential oil-free bar with all the same goodness and benefits! Brand Story: Vellum Street was founded by Melissa Torre, who after battling a misdiagnosed autoimmune disease for decades, trying all conventional medicine had to offer, began to realize the connection between disease and our toxic food and personal care products. Melissa became a chef focused on both nutrition and food sustainability. She competed in shows like Cupcake Wars and Chopped, while owning her own organic and sustainably minded bakery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While she poured her heart and soul into her bakery, her body was suffering from skin conditions and chronic joint and nerve pain from daily exposure to wheat. For the sake of her health, she closed her bakery and began experimenting with skincare to treat the eczema, psoriasis and hives brought on by her autoimmune condition.... and Vellum Street was born! Melissa puts the same chef-inspired creative energy into her soaps, candles and balms that she put into her bakery and the results are incredible! Her products smell better than conventionally fragranced products and are all natural and made with rich and nourishing animal fats. Here at Urban Farm Collection we are excited to support a small business like Vellum Street who is focused on quality, sustainability and bringing you BEAUTIFUL products at reasonable prices!
