Why Tallow?

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.
