THE BEE & THE MUSHROOM w/ astaxanthin & propolis

$48.00

RESTOCK>>> MAY 10th 7 pm EST

This is an ultra-concentrated formula for acne prone & hyperpigmented skin types for the DAYTIME because it absorbs into the skin very quickly for a tallow cream. The skin seems to just eat it up & I personally love it because it has that true blurring effect for a day cream with no greasy residue.

This is the most loaded Bigwood’s whipped tallow formula to date besides our body cream, Sweet Mama Llama!

We have drawn from many aspects of nature…

>the bees

>the mushrooms

>the flowers

>& the sea!

This blend is an ode to the abundance & joy of warmer months when everything is in full bloom.

Whole ooey gooey honeycombs + propolis are fully infused into 100% grass fed & finished tallow from our favorite farm in Goffstown, NH Benedikt Dairy with the gelatinous tremella mushroom & reishi, the beautiful golden soothing summer flowers & the surprise ingredient from the sea that gives it a creamy peachy pink tone >>> astaxanthin.

Let’s get into these benefits & what they do because this infusion jar is packed with a punch for bacteria that is causing redness, inflammation & dullness on the surface:

TALLOW: sourcing matters… we feed our family from Benedikt Dairy. The cows are 100% grass fed & finished. These cows live longer than the average cow, about 3 years compared to the regular 18 months which renders a creamier sweeter and more nutrient dense tallow.

JOJOBA: all our jojoba is the highest quality & is sourced from our neighboring state next door… Maine. Always unrefined. A highly concentrated source of vit E & monosaturated fats. Our sourcing is farmer owned & grown cooperatively…the best thing is jojoba doesn’t clog pores & is easily absorbed much like the tallow.

RAW HONEY: raw wild honey from a farmer who lives within state forests & organic lands. Helps the skin retain moisture. Increases circulation because it’s a natural exfoliant which means it’s gentle & will bring out your natural radiance hiding just beneath the surface. Speeds the healing process & reduces bacteria. Wherever honey touches bacteria won’t grow!

PROPOLIS: speeds up healing & treats the aftermath of acne because of the pinocembrin present. Anti-inflammatory & anti-microbial this is a hard hit to acne & other skin irritations. (pair this with our OVUM BALM & you won’t recognize your skin in a month!) its been shown to decongest, calm puffy irritated skin, unclog pores & balance uneven skin tone.

CALENDULA: anti-inflammatory properties & healing properties due to the triterpenoids present in flowers. Rich in natural antioxidants compounds like polyphenols, carotenoids & flavonoids which helps calm redness, inflammation & itchiness. May also moisturize & hydrate the skin.

CHAMOMILE: revitalizes, calms & balances the skin.

REISHI: Reishi is high in beta-glucans, that can alleviate itching & reduce redness. The skin can appear smoother & more evenly toned. Also detoxifies.

TREMELLA: I have fallen in love with tremella in my quest to age naturally without fillers because of its ultra hydrating properties & it has been found to be 15% more effective than hyaluronic acid. I always use this now because it seems to explode in the tallow medium & create a wonderful synergistic blend. Tremella creates a kind of blurring effect on the skin which is why I consider it my #1 ally in naturally aging.

ASTAXANTHIN: The king of the carotenoids is a marine-based antioxidant with potent levels of beta-carotene & it’s fat-soluble! It’s been shown to promote healthy skin, smooth wrinkles, make age spots smaller & maintain moisture in skin.

BLUE BUTTERFLY: rich in polyphenols, flavonoids which help with free radicals that degrade the skin, proanthocyanidin which has been shown to release collagen & elasticity.

HOW TO USE: this is considered the Bigwoods ‘day cream’ but it can also be used at night. This is highly concentrated so start with a dime sized amount. Smear onto the forehead & cheekbones first, pretty much your T zone & work outward to hairline. Minding the hairline if using during the day.
