GRÝS is an all-natural grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow based skin cream. GRÝS is made from only the highest quality fat (sourced from American cows) 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 fuels and nourishes 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 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
**Why does the color and smell of my tallow-based skin cream vary slightly from batch to batch?**
At GRÝS, we pride ourselves on using only all-natural ingredients, including beef tallow and essential oils from clary sage and sandalwood, as well as aloe vera. These natural ingredients are sourced seasonally and are subject to variations in their environment. Factors such as the diet of the cattle, the amount of sunlight and rainfall the plants receive, and the timing of their harvest can all influence the characteristics of the final product, including its color and smell.
**Does this mean the formula or percentage of ingredients in my skin cream has changed?**
No, the formula and the percentage of each ingredient remain consistent across all batches. However, because we do not add artificial colorants, fragrances, or stabilizers to our products, the natural variations in our ingredients can cause slight differences in color and smell from batch to batch. This is a hallmark of a truly natural product and ensures you are getting the purest and most authentic experience possible.
**Is it still safe and effective to use if the color and smell change?**
Absolutely. The changes in color and smell do not affect the safety or efficacy of the product. Each batch undergoes the same rigorous quality control to ensure it meets our high standards for performance and safety.
**Can you make the color and smell more consistent?**
Achieving consistency in color and smell would require the addition of synthetic ingredients, colorants, or fragrances, which would compromise the natural integrity of our product. We believe in providing a product that is as close to its natural state as possible, allowing you to benefit from the true essence of our carefully selected ingredients.
**What should I do if my skin cream changes consistency during shipment?**
Our skin cream is made from natural ingredients that can be sensitive to temperature changes. During very hot periods, the product may soften or melt slightly while in transit, especially if it is left in a hot mailbox or mail truck. This can cause the cream to be less whipped than usual. However, this does not affect the quality or efficacy of the cream. If you receive a product that has melted, simply place it in a cool, dry place or refrigerate it for a short time to return it to its normal consistency.
