Barn Butter Vanilla Balm

Made with pasture raised pigs from Wild Rye Livestock Co in Galen and raw honey from Outlaw Honey here in Anaconda!
But how and why does lard work so well for skincare?
When it comes to cellular makeup, pig lard is incredibly close to human skin. Lard has a similar pH to that of human skin, and it is made up of both saturated and monounsaturated fats.
When it comes to skincare, the experts know that oil dissolves oil. Since lard is so similar to our own skin oils, it's really perfect to be used as a skincare product for humans in many forms-lotions, creams, lip balms, cleansers. (1)
Pigs are also extremely efficient at processing sunlight and storing it as Vitamin D in their fat (2).
When we rub lard on our skin, we're soaking up all of that Vitamin D, which helps to minimize dark spots and lines, reduce acne, promote collagen production and reduce inflammation which is a common factor in conditions such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis
(3). Lard is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin E and Vitamin A (1,5). It's packed full of vitamins to give us that healthy glowing skin that we all crave.
