Hey friends!

I was thinking about why jojoba oil is such a big part of Truth Tallow lotion. This plant that grows in the desert makes a kind of wax that is really similar to the stuff our skin makes naturally. That's why it gets absorbed easily and helps our skin feel balanced and hydrated without feeling greasy. 

A years ago I started to think more about what I was putting in my body. I began by cleaning up my kitchen; I started to learn about all the chemicals that are in the food we buy and how they can hurt us. Once I knew about all this I could not ignore it. I also stopped taking meds that I did not really need and I started to feel a lot better. After that I began to think about what I was putting on my skin. Our skin is a huge part of our body and it absorbs everything we put on it. So I started making my own lotion in my kitchen with grass-fed tallow and organic jojoba oil. Now I get to share it with all of you through Truth Tallow.

The Science Behind It

Jojoba oil isn't really an oil, it's a wax. That's why it feels so good on our skin. It's really similar to the stuff our skin makes, so our skin knows what it is. It absorbs quickly and it doesn't feel greasy. Jojoba oil also has vitamin E and antioxidants that help our skin feel calm and keep it moisturized.  Jojoba is just straight up good stuff for our skin.

Why It Works So Well in Our Lotion

Tallow is great because it has acids that are similar to our skins natural oils. It also has vitamins A D, E and K from grass-fed cows. Sometimes it can feel a little heavy though. That is where jojoba oil comes in, it makes the lotion feel lighter and helps it absorb more quickly. In our Truth Tallow + Jojoba Body Lotion I also add organic rosehip seed oil for vitamins and glow and raw honey to help keep your skin moisturized and rosemary extract to keep it fresh.

The result is a lotion that feels silky and absorbs quickly. It actually helps your skin instead of just sitting on top of it. A lot of my friends who used tallow before say this is the one that finally worked for them. They do not feel greasy. They do not get breakouts. They just have happy skin.

The Bottom Line

For me jojoba oil is not something that is trendy, it's a partner for tallow that makes our lotion feel good and work well. Whether you are just trying to keep your skin from getting upset or you are tired of using products with nasty synthetic ingredients, this lotion might be just what you need.

I would love for you to try the lotion and see how it feels on your skin. If you have any questions, about jojoba oil, tallow or anything else leave a comment below!
