Barb’s Butcher’s Balm 

Lamb Tallow heals and seals

Lamb tallow has a very similar chemical composition to coconut oil, however, lamb tallow is special - it has cholesterol. Naturally occurring cholesterol is an effective occlusive agent, trapping moisture in, but will not leaving your skin feeling greasy.
Lamb tallow is also high in saturated fats and omega fatty acids thus acting as an amazing emollient agent.

Olive Oil adds more moisture

Olive oil contains sebum, an oil that is natural occurring in your skin, hence absorbing quickly and acting as a secondary emollient. • Food grade glycerin is the only humectant ingredient used; this is what will draw moisture from the lower to the upper dermal layers.

Essential Oils

Using essential oils that are always 100% pure, so that the fragrance is always from the expected source, this is definitely the only “extra additive”...but so worth it, because balm should smell fantastic.

What Was Old Becomes New Again

After the ingredients are heated slowly just enough to whip the oils so that the ingredients are smooth and soft. Then, Barb hand pours each small batch into reusable glass jars.
