Did you know that lard (yes, pig fat!) is close in both lipid structure & pH to human sebum, making it highly compatible with our skin? And that is has an even more gently and creamy lather than tallow when used in soap? While tallow has higher levels of saturated fatty acids and Vitamin E, lard has levels of Vitamin D3, Retinol-A, and Choline that also outshine those of tallow by an average of 200-500%! Our Oink Ment Lard Salve is gentle enough for the face, yet effective enough for the even the roughest & toughest hands & feet! Purslane, aka little hogweed, contains polysaccharides (natural humectants) that help keep skin hydrated. Purslane is also known for its antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties.
