The tallow we use is of excellent quality.
It comes from Ireland (we have not found fat meeting our specifications and of equal quality to this one in France or organically), a country renowned for the quality of its breeding methods and its rich grass, where the cattle stay six to eight months in pastures where they seek their own food in their "natural" environment.
Thus, 95% of their diet is based on fresh or harvested grass.

This tallow is deodorized with water vapor, and bleached and purified with clayey earth.
It therefore does not contain any impurities or irritating, allergenic or dangerous substances.

It is analyzed and subject to strict veterinary and regulatory standards since, like the meat from which it comes, it is intended for human consumption.
The DIP (Product Information File) of our Balms, mandatory and regulatory documents for all cosmetic products marketed within the EU, certify that they do not present any risk of skin and eye irritation, are safe for human health, and comply with the requirements of article 3 of regulation 1223/2009 of November 30, 2009.
The city of Grasse, on the French Riviera, is well known as the "perfume capital of the world," a worldwide reputation and expertise earned over the centuries thanks to the richness and quality of its raw materials.
Grasse's flowers have shaped its history: these rare local flowers have given birth to treasures cherished by the locals. You can find a variety of floral scents in Grasse's produce, such as orange blossom, mimosa, rose, lavender, and myrtle. Jasmine is the most widespread, recognized as the city's "mythical" flower.
It is in Grasse that many legendary perfumes were created. A true haven of inspiration and poetry, the city of Grasse enchants and delights perfumers! CHANEL, DIOR, ROCHAS, among others, were born in the city of perfume.
The world of perfume in Grasse represents many professions, but it is above all linked to an art and a historical know-how that has been passed down for centuries.
Today, the city of Grasse oscillates between tradition and modernity to work their perfume.

The fragrance we add to our Face, Body and Hair Scented Balms is very light and has notes of orange blossom, jasmine and vanilla, among others.
The beeswax we use in our lip balms is capping wax, which is the film that bees apply to honeycombs to seal them. They produce it using their wax glands from the nectar they collect.
As beeswax has the property of binding pollutants, it is very important to buy organic beeswax so that it does not contain any chemical substances coming from, among other things, anti-parasitic acaricide treatments given to hives in conventional beekeeping.
Our partner and supplier Occimiel, beekeeper and producer of high-quality honey from Lozère and Aveyron, is committed to respecting nature and advocates organic farming for which it has obtained Organic (AB) certification for its honey and beehive products.
The wax we use is therefore pure, of high quality, and produced only with noble flowers: thyme, chestnut, sainfoin, heather in particular.
