Gold Frankincense and Myrrh Tallow Lotion Bars
Gold Frankincense and Myrrh Tallow Lotion Bars
And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. Matthew 2:11
These Christmas lotion bars are inspired by the three gifts brought to Jesus by the wise men. The “gold” is the nutrient-rich calendula-infused olive oil and local beeswax, and the frankincense and myrrh come from organic essential oils. The calendula is grown organically here on our homestead and is great for skin nourishment and healing. Frankincense offers brightening, rejuvenating, and regenerating features while the myrrh’s antimicrobial and antibacterial properties protect and heal the skin.
These nourishing lotion bars are made with grass-fed tallow from happy, healthy cows raised on a regenerative agriculture farm local to us. Rendering and using fat is a lost art and unfortunately a part of the animal that often goes to waste. Not only is it resourceful to use rendered fat, but it’s extremely nourishing to the body inside and out. It’s a pure and simple fat— the moisturizer of “the days of old”. The oil in our skin and tallow share many of the same lipids, allowing the tallow to deeply moisturize and nourish our skin. We’ve taken the time to render and clarify the fat into tallow here on our homestead and combine it with other nutrient-dense ingredients to create a hand lotion.
These lotion bars are solid yet creamy, and will not leave a greasy residue. To use, simply rub the bar through your hands as you would a bar of soap! It will soften with the heat of your hands and nourish your skin.
