The fatty acids in tallow are much closer in molecular structure and size (and therefore, more bioavailable) to the oils our own skin produces, then the plant oils more commonly used in skin care products (which tend to have a larger molecule size). This smaller molecular mass allows the tallow to penetrate the skin barrier, actually reaching below the surface to get a little more than just skin deep!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAside from its multitude of glorious skin benefits, using tallow from animals raised on small, local, regenerative agricultural focused farms, pastured \u0026amp; humanely raised, is one of the most eco-conscious ways to source ingredients. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy sourcing locally as much as possible, they eliminate the immense waste produced with packaging and shipping ingredients to us across land and sea.

After battling an auto-immune disease for decades, and finding no relief via traditional channels, Melissa began to realize so many commercially available soaps \u0026amp; skin care products today are formulated with ingredients you would never eat, so why slather them on your skin, which, like your digestive system, absorbs everything you put on it?!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"h3\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfter a growing interest \u0026amp; extensive research, Melissa discovered a slew of ingredients, many of which were leftover\/excess ingredients in her cafe Cookie Confidential's own kitchen, that held numerous benefits for the skin, most notably, tallow. Not long after, Melissa stepped away from the world of pastry and private cheffing, and into the world of upcycled skincare. Creating products that are comprised of nothing that doesn't directly benefit skin health, along with being able to put to good use many food \"scraps\" that were once headed for the trash bin in many commercial kitchens, led Melissa to an exciting new venture that combined her love of food \u0026amp; creating in the kitchen with her desire to improve nutrition and food sustainability for both her and those around her struggling with similar issues. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vellum Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45108679245877,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0029\/6537\/2997\/files\/VellumStreetNourishingTallowBarSoap-RosemaryChamomile.webp?v=1775654957","url":"https:\/\/terrashepherd.com\/products\/vellum-street-nourishing-tallow-bar-soap-rosemary-chamomile","provider":"Terra Shepherd Boutique \u0026 Apothecary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
