Story behind Nourish-d
Nourish-d was started after seeing what a miraculous recovery our sweet 2 year old granddaughter had with eczema. She had struggled with severe eczema for 14 months of her 2 years. A friend mentioned I should try tallow for her. I researched for nearly a month and then took another month to source the correct product which is grass-fed beef kidney fat (the reason we only use the kidney fat is because that is where the animal stores all of its nutrients... vitamins, minerals, collagen, etc). It is a long, tedious process but... for any of my loved ones... I would do anything to help them be out of pain. After 2 days, it was gone. And that is how HEAL-D was created.
We were so happy and shocked, to be honest. I started playing around with other blends of tallow and immediately went to the creepiness of my neck that really, really bothered me. I had tried very expensive creams (my husband has since found out the cost of those, haha) and nothing had worked. I talked to my mom and sisters and nothing was working for them either. I made an anti-aging blend, applied it to my face and neck, and was shocked again. First of all, the softness, the moisturizing and nourishing of this tallow blend is incredible and lasts until washed off. I was using 16 items at night...yup 16. I only use tallow now and my skin has never felt better. I was thrilled to see the creepiness on my neck improve and disappear after just a few days. And our RESTORE-D blend was added.
People have asked how I came up with the name. I struggled with this because I wanted something simple but people would realize the effect in 1 word. Nourish. Nourishing, Nourished. We came up with a play on Nourished, calling it Nourish-d. And each of our tallow blends play on that -d as well.
I added a tallow face exfoliant that I absolutely love, SCRUB-D. I call it my ‘lazy day’. Exfoliant should only be used 2-3 times a week. So, when I use this, I wash my face, apply the blend, give it a gentle scrub with my hands and rinse. When drying my face, I just dab at it with the towel and there is the soft, moisturizing tallow feel left behind. So... no need to put anything else on for the night.
At this point, I knew tallow was not a fluke. It has been around for 1000’s of years and truly works wonders.
My husband had very dry cracked feet (it’s a bit dry here in Utah) so I created the RENEW-D tallow blend next. His cracks healed and were baby soft within a week. He uses it a couple times a week now just to maintain. This is a huge seller as well.
Tallow cream is truly an essential part of our skincare routine. Not only does it nourish and soften the skin, but it also provides healing properties that are unmatched. Each blend we create is infused with the rich benefits of tallow, ensuring that your skin remains moisturized, soft, and well-nourished. From the very beginning, our goal has been to provide natural, effective solutions that truly make a difference in your skin's health and appearance. Whether you're dealing with dry skin, eczema, or just looking to maintain a healthy glow, our tallow-based products are the perfect choice to keep your skin nourished and revitalized.
I dove into more research and spent a couple more months learning all I could about the healing effects of tallow. I make 9 tallow blends (as of today). Each blend is something I fully believe in because I’ve seen them work personally for friends and family.
After initially starting up with my markets, a beautiful girl addressed me at a market with serious acne. I had an acne tallow blend (CLEAR-D) because I had already seen the effects for several people. This sweet girl bought the acne blend and came back to see me each week at the market to show me the results. It was shocking, yet again. And the best part, she was thrilled.
After it healed (just a few days for mild acne and 2-3 weeks for severe acne) I gave her a blend for her acne scars (FADE-D). I had already seen amazing results with the scar tallow blend as well. FADE-D works great on stretch marks, acne scars and scars in general. I always remind people, this is the one you will see the slowest results with because, well... it’s a scar. But patience does bring the reward.
Another blend I developed is for hyperpigmentation/dark spots. My husband was unhappy dark spots starting to develop on the back of his hands. Tallow to the rescue again. The spots on his hands lightened in about 10 days. And SPOT-D was added. This has been a big seller of ours. I had a woman buy tallow from me soon after she bought her first because her mother-in-law tried it on the dark spots up and down her arms. She was so thrilled with it, she used it all. I love hearing all the stories about our blends.
Another blend was made when my son went golfing at the 1st sign of Spring and got sunburned pretty bad. I made a blend for him called SOOTHE-D that he used for the burn. He typically peels and gets itchy the days following sunburns. He sent me pictures after he applied tallow to it a few days in a row after the burn and told me he hadn’t peeled at all. SOOTHE-D is also amazing for cuts, burns, bug bites. This tallow blend is a great one to have around or for first aid kits.
My last blend I developed (SNOOZE-D), is definitely my hardest and most expensive to make. This is the blend with magnesium in it. So many of us are magnesium deficient and the vitamins we are taking don’t get absorbed like we hope. That’s why magnesium balm is so popular. Looking up the effects of magnesium or the lack of it, it’s easy to see why people are turning to the magnesium tallow blend. It helps with better sleep. Some indications that your magnesium could be low are: *Anxiety *Depression *Sleep Issues *Migraines/headaches *Fatigue *Muscle twitches *Muscle cramps *Muscle weakness *High blood pressure *Asthma *Osteoporosis *Inflammation *PMS *High or Low Cholesterol *Heart palpitations *Numbness/tingling *Nausea (to name a few). With this tallow blend, you rub the tallow on the bottom of your feet or on your stomach at night.
I also make lip balm, made of tallow of course. This stuff is a dream. It heals the lip rather than just covering up dry lips. I’ve had fun adding more and more flavors, as you can see from the dropdown list of them.
Since starting this, I work 7-10 markets a week for several months of the year. I love hearing all the success stories. I love seeing the results when they come back to show me. I love watching people drag their friends or family over swearing up and down they’ll love it too. I love seeing those people come back, acknowledging they do indeed love tallow, buy more for themselves or for gifts. The word has really gotten out there that tallow is the real deal as we are shipping all over the country. I love that I was introduced to it by a concerned friend that knew the healing effects and that I am now able to be in the public teaching about the amazing effects of tallow.
As always, feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Clean desired area thoroughly. Rub a small amount in hands until melted and apply. If using on face and neck, use about 1 marble size. If using only on face, use about 1 pea size. A little goes a very long way. Each jar should last 4+ months.
IF TALLOW GETS GRAINY OR CLUMPY:
Microwave for a few seconds to soften (but not melted) and stir. Tallow can get grainy or clumpy after sitting awhile. From the research I’ve done, it says some batches can do this because of how the cow digested its grass (the things I’ve learned, haha).
