LIPS, HANDS, FACE, ASS, TALLOW'S GREAT FOR SKIN WHEN IT'S BEEN FED GRASS!

WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU SHOULD PUT ANYTHING ON YOUR SKIN THAT YOU WOULDN'T PUT IN YOUR MOUTH. ALL OF OUR TALLOW BASED SOAPS, BALMS, SALTS & CANDLES ARE MADE FROM HIGH QUALITY, FOOD GRADE INGREDIENTS, LOCALLY & ORGANICALLY SOURCED, OFTEN FROM THE KITCHENS OF LOCAL RESTAURANTS & FARMS IN THE FORM OF UPCYCLED MATERIAL THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE CONSIDERED WASTE. THE FATTY ACIDS IN TALLOW ARE MUCH CLOSER IN MOLECULAR STRUCTURE TO THE OILS OUR OWN SKIN PRODUCES THAN ARE MORE COMMONLY USED PLANT OILS, AS WELL AS BEING RICH IN THE SAME TYPES OF LIPIDS PRESENT IN YOUTHFUL, VIBRANT SKIN. AN ABUNDANCE OF VITAMINS A, D, E & K DOESN'T HURT EITHER! TALLOW /OTHER ANIMAL FATS ARE ALSO HIGHLY SUSTAINABLE, AS THEY ARE A QUITE OFTEN UNDERUSED BY-PRODUCT OF THE MEAT INDUSTRY. QUALITY MATTERS, WHICH IS WHY ALL OF OUR ANIMAL FAT COMES FROM PASTURED, HUMANELY RAISED ANIMALS, FROM LOCAL FARMS & BUTCHERS. WITH NOTHING ADDED THAT DOESN'T HAVE A BENEFICIAL PURPOSE FOR YOUR SKIN, YOU CAN BE ASSURED YOU'RE GETTING A TOP NOTCH PRODUCT, THOUGHTFULLY CRAFTED & SCIENTIFICALLY EXECUTED, THATS SUDS OF FUN!

  • All of our jars are cut & polished locally by ReMark glass from discarded beer and liquor bottles.

  • SOMETHING FOR EVERY ONE, NO MATTER YOUR SKIN NEEDS.

  • Vitamin packed, moisture rich, blemish fighting & skin condition soothing ingredients.

  • NOURISHING, GRASS FED TALLOW.

  • Unparalleled in gentle cleansing & moisturizing skin repair.

CHEF MADE

AS A CHEF INTERESTED IN BOTH NUTRITION & FOOD SUSTAINABILITY,IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE VELLUM SOAP MAKER/MAYHEM SLAYER MELISSA TORRE STARTED PAYING ATTENTION TO NOT ONLY WHAT SHE PUT IN HER BODY, BUT ALSO ON IT. SO MANY COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE SOAPS & 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 ALL THE THINGS YOU PUT ON IT?!  AFTER A GROWING INTEREST & 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 SKIN, MOST NOTABLY, TALLOW. NOT LONG AFTER, MELISSA STEPPED AWAY FROM THE WORLD OF PASTRIES & INTO THE WORLD OF UPCYCLED SKINCARE. CREATING A PRODUCT THAT IS COMPRISED OF NOTHING THAT DOESN'T DIRECTLY BENEFIT SKIN HEALTH, ALONG WITH BEING ABLE TO PUT TO GOOD USE MANY FOOD PRODUCTS THAT WERE ONCE HEADED FOR THE TRASH BIN OR COMPOST HEAP IN MANY COMMERCIAL KITCHENS, LED MELISSA TO AN EXCITING NEW VENTURE THAT COMBINED HER LOVE OF FOOD & CREATING IN THE KITCHEN, WITH HER DESIRE TO IMPROVE NUTRITION & FOOD SUSTAINABILITY.
