Why Tallow?
100% Grass Fed Tallow feels native to the skin, biochemically aligned, and instantly familiar. Rich in stearic, palmitic, and oleic acids plus vitamins A, D, E, and K, it nourishes by matching the skin’s needs: fortifying the barrier, soothing dryness and inflammation, and restoring balance.
Even its name holds a quiet echo of belonging. Sebum, from the Latin sēbum, tallow. A remembrance etched into both language and biology. The skin does not resist it. It remembers. This is home.
Why Herbal Infusions vs Fragrances in BRAVE Skin Care: Trauma and Sensory Sensitivity
• Heightened nervous system response: Trauma often leaves the body in a state of hypervigilance. The nervous system may become more sensitive to stimuli, including smell, because scent is directly tied to the limbic system (the brain’s emotional center).
• Scents as triggers: Strong, synthetic fragrances can overwhelm or even retraumatize survivors. Because smell bypasses rational thought and goes straight to memory and emotion, a harsh scent can feel invasive or destabilizing.
• Safety and grounding: Gentle, natural aromas can instead provide grounding. They invite calm rather than shock, helping survivors feel safe in their bodies.
