Hello! We're Creek & Sarah Stewart and we founded GRÝS in our kitchen! Creek is a Wilderness Survival Instructor, Author, and Television Host - who has struggled with psoriasis flares since the age of 10. Never able to find a skin cream or ointment that didn't burn or wasn't full of chemicals, his study of indigenous cultures provided an answer. Almost every indigenous culture used rendered animal fat for skin ailments and issues.
After months of experimenting in our home kitchen, we finally landed on a formula that provided instant healing relief to Creek's psoriasis flares using grass-fed and grass-finished beef tallow. The amazing part is that Sarah loved it too and began using it as a daily face cream. Long story short, GRÝS was born out of necessity and found its way into our daily skin regimen by accident.
We now have GRÝS professionally made in small batches and packaged to share with you and your family. Whether you have psoriasis, eczema, or you're just looking for a world-class all-natural and chemical free face cream, we're excited to share our family formula with you!
WHY GRÝS?
GRÝS is an all-natural grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow based skin cream. GRÝS is made from only the highest quality fat that has been rendered at low temperatures to remove all of the impurities. The result is an all-natural, smooth, creamy, nutrient-dense balm.
Nearly all first peoples, from Native Americans to Australian Aboriginals understood the healing and soothing power of rendered fat, also called tallow. There are numerous archived references to its use as a base for healing salves, ointments, and skin creams.
As people become more conscious of the risks and skin irritations associated with so many of the chemicals found in "modern" skin lotions and creams, many are seeking a more natural (and effective) alternative. Thankfully, we only need to look to our ancestors for the answer!
We now know that rendered grass-fed tallow is loaded with fat soluble Vitamins A, D, K, and E. These are like super-fuels for our skin, which absorbs this natural goodness like a sponge. But that's not it. Tallow also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) as well as palmitoleic acid which together have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Imagine a cream that FEEDS your skin from the outside! That's tallow.
Although Mother Nature has designed grass-fed beef tallow to be a nearly perfect therapeutic skin cream, we've added in 3 more simple, but remarkable organic ingredients.
100% Organic USA-grown Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe vera contains 75 potentially active constituents, including vitamins, enzymes, minerals, sugars, lignin, saponins, salicylic acids and amino acids. According to National Institutes of Health, mucopolysaccharides contained within Aloe Vera help in binding moisture into the skin. Aloe stimulates fibroblast which produces the collagen and elastin fibers making the skin more elastic and less wrinkled. It also has cohesive effects on the superficial flaking epidermal cells by sticking them together, which softens the skin. The amino acids also soften hardened skin cells and zinc acts as an astringent to tighten pores.
100% Organic Clary Sage Essential Oil: Derived from the leaves and flowers of the clary sage plant, this essential oil has deeps roots in skincare. Clary sage oil can help in reducing all kinds of skin problems and ailments. The oil is great for balancing sebum production and helps naturally maintain optimum skin oil levels. In addition, clary sage can support natural healing by reducing inflammation because of the presence of linalyl acetate.
100% Organic Sandalwood Essential Oil: Ancient Ayurvedic texts and Traditional Chinese Medicine hail sandalwood for its many medicinal uses. The active ingredient alpha-santalol is it's claim to fame and may help with scarring, wrinkles, inflammation, eczema, psoriasis, wound healing, acne, and even skin tone. In addition, the smell of Sandalwood can promote calmness, lower stress, and improve sleep quality - all of which nourish the skin and body.
Each of these four ingredients have been whipped into a light, creamy, and smooth lotion that absorbs quickly, leaves no residue, and doesn't feel greasy. It is suitable for both dry and oily skin types and safe for all ages. Spot check on the inside wrist first if concerned about an allergy to one of the aforementioned ingredients.
