Apple Pecan Pie Milk Lotion

8 oz | 236 mL

Glass Bottle & Plastic Pump

Approximately 32mg of ancient mineral magnesium per pump

Carefully handcrafted with farm-fresh local grass-fed milk, pasture-raised local lard, organic aloe vera gel, and magnesium chloride mineral brine from the Ancient Zechstein Sea.

These liquid lotions are the epitome of our phrase Feed Your Skin From The Outside-In™

We highly recommend our solid lotions or our skin butters for the driest and most damaged skin, but these liquid lotions are milk-based for those wanting anti-aging alpha-hydroxy acids and a more conventional lotion feel. As such, they are made with more modern-day lotion ingredients and preservatives for safety reasons. If you are opposed to any of these ingredients, instead try our solid lotions or our skin butters!

Our Ingredients

Grass-Fed Local Milk

• An Unpasteurized, Whole, Non-Homogenized, Raw Source From Farm-Fresh Local Grass-Fed Cows

• Milk is high in a plethora of various nourishing and anti-aging vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids. Such as, but not limited to: AHA’s, Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol-A, Vitamin D3.

• Since our cow milk was pasture-raised and grass-fed, it has a very high level of Vitamin D3 from the sun-exposed cows. Vitamin D3 helps protect the skin against environmental damages, improves skin cell production issues, and slows the aging process.

• Grass-fed milk contains more balanced fatty acid ratios of Omega 3-6-9, which is good for a healthier skin complexion and less inflammation.

• Milk contains about 10 μg Retinol and 6 gram carotenoids per gram of fat, and our raw milk is whole (full fat).

• Lactic Acid is a naturally-occurring alpha-hydroxy acid, famous for rejuvenating skin cells and renewing cells faster for a more youthful look. This is also great for those who suffer from keratin production issues, scarring, and acne.

• Since hyaluronic acid is distributed around cells and helps form connective tissues, it’s widely found in animals like cows. Milk contains hyaluronan (Hyaluronic Acid), a glycosaminoglycan polymer found in virtually all mammalian tissues.

• Despite popular belief, plants don’t contain hyaluronic acid. It also doesn’t exist in fungi or insects. Therefore, the best hyaluronic acid food sources come from animals.

• Milk is the near-perfect food, a fountain of youth for your skin: if it can grow a beautiful baby calf into a strong, gorgeous cow – imagine what it can do for your skin!

Aloe Vera

• USDA Certified Organic Aloe Vera Gel helps to moisturize and hydrate the skin while increasing collagen synthesis and cross-linking in the skin.

• Aloe vera contains the enzyme bradykinase, which is the active ingredient to suppress signs of inflammation, namely redness, swelling, pain, and heat when the gel is applied on the skin.

• Aloe Vera gel has vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene in abundance. Therefore, it has anti-aging properties. It also contains antimicrobial properties and is anti-inflammatory, assisting to eradicate skin blemishes and diminish age lines. Additionally, it helps to increase the production of collagen in the body and skin elasticity.

• The ancient Egyptians commonly used aloe vera in skincare for dryness, acne, inflammation, burns, rashes, and more.

• Aloe Vera Gel has many active ingredients and minerals to feed your skin: its amino acids, vitamins, and minerals can contribute to a healthier epidermis.*

• A great natural moisturizer and can help to soothe dry skin.*

• Has anti-inflammatory properties to reduce the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles.*

Local Pasture-Raised Lard

• Purely hand-rendered by our own team and NEVER bleached or ultra-processed.

• If you are looking for tallow-based moisturizers, look no further than our skin butters, but for our milk lotions we decided lard was the best fat to use for many reasons…

• More Vitamin D3 content for superior skin protection against environmental damage, better skin cell production, and increasing youthfulness.

• Creates a more stable consistency and texture than tallow. You may read more about the differences of lard and tallow here in our Educational Article.

• Pasture-Raised, Organic-Fed Lard has a fatty acid profile that is very similar to high-quality tallow (read the article above): it is not inflammatory, nor is it comedogenic. Lard is actually our great-great grandmother’s best-kept beauty secret!

Magnesium

• Approximately 32mg of ancient mineral magnesium per pump

• Sourced from the ancient Zechstein Sea, our Magnesium Chloride is the purest of the pure and best of the best.

• Magnesium is an extremely common vital nutrient deficiency among modern civilizations. This is due to poor diets and unhealthy lifestyles, plus the vast decreases in top soil quality from conventional farming methods.

• Magnesium is a necessary nutrient that is required for over 300 important bodily functions.

• Magnesium is especially beneficial for healthy nervous, metabolic, immune, and muscle functions.*

• Magnesium is very useful for relaxation, sleep-cycles, and boosting immune system functions.*

• Magnesium can reduce oil production in the skin, which can be beneficial for oily skin types. Our pasture-raised, organic-fed lard helps to balance this out, combatting dryness with healthy, non-clogging fats that are similar to human sebum.*

• Magnesium is a natural, but powerful anti-inflammatory agent!*

Emulsifying Wax

• It’s extremely disappointing when your expensive natural lotion separates, develops lumps and/or watery areas, or becomes impossible to get out of the bottle in cooler temperatures… Emulsifying Wax helps to prevent these common natural lotion issues!

• Emulsifying Wax is a plant-based wax that keeps our lotions a stable consistency while improving the moisturization qualities for better skin health.

• Emulsifying Wax does exactly what the name says: it keeps the fats and water/milk contents emulsified (bonded together) with little-to-no separation problems.

• If you would like to avoid this ingredient for a more natural option, you may try our solid lotions or skin butters instead!

BTMS-50

• BTMS is an ionized salt derived from nature and is an absolute necessary ingredient for making natural liquid lotions with the conventional “powdery” finish and feel.

• BTMS is the acronym for the long scientific name of the compound “Behentrimonium Methosulfate” however, BTMS is NOT a sulfate and is very environmentally friendly.

• This ingredient is irreplaceable for a powdery-smooth skin-conditioning lotion finish, instead of a heavy, oily, or greasy feel.

• It is also another effective emulsifier, making our natural lotions more shelf-stable and silky-smooth to the touch.

• For the skin-conditioning effects most of us are used to with commercial lotions, BTMS is the most natural way for us to achieve this effect!

• If you would like to avoid this ingredient for a more natural option, you may try our solid lotions or skin butters instead!

Fragrance Oils

• Phthalate-Free and Paraben-Free Fragrance Oils are included for a familiar and comforting scent.

• Did you know that most body care shoppers make their purchase decisions based solely on scent satisfaction? The olfactory system is directly related to emotions and memories, which is why scents are such an important factor for many.

• Please keep in mind that not including phthalates and parabens will reduce the scent hold, decreasing the linger time and strength compared to what many are used to with store-bought products.

• Learn more about our safer fragrance oils HERE and read about this product’s scent and scent strength in the product’s scent tab.

Certified Organic Vitamin E

This isn’t your regular (questionable) Vitamin E, this is:

• Only derived from USDA Certified Non-GMO Organic sunflowers – NO soy, wheat, gluten, or synthetic ingredients – there is no other purer Vitamin E on the market.

• Natural Vitamin E (d-Alpha Tocopherol) boasts 2X (200%) more skin absorption and bioavailability for our bodies to utilize than synthetic “vitamin e”. The most obvious differences between the two types is where Vitamin E is sourced and they even have different chemical names. “dL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate” (synthetic Vitamin E) comes from petrochemicals. Meanwhile, “d-Alpha Tocopherol” (natural Vitamin E) is made from the natural nutrients of plant oils.

• Perfect to help keep our milk lotions shelf-stable for longer by dramatically slowing oxidation, rancidity, and UV damage.

• Wonderful for skincare. Vitamin E is an invaluable asset for skin moisturizers, as it speeds healing and increases moisture-retention for next-level youthfulness.* Vitamin E has also been scientifically shown to prevent the breakdown of collagen.

• An absolute necessity in our skincare products for better shelf-stability and beautiful skin…

Phenoxyethanol

• An organic preservative to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, fungus, and yeast in skincare products with any water content (such as farm-fresh raw milk and aloe vera juice).

• Naturally found in and extracted from green tea leaves, phenoxyethanol is used in many natural lotions to preserve the safety and efficacy of water-based products. We could literally call it “green tea extract” like some companies do and probably get away with it, but would that convey the truth?

• We only use phenoxyethanol at a 1% maximum in our formulations, which is the official safe usage rate said to prevent skin irritations yet still ensure product safety.

• Instead of a water-based product lasting mere weeks, phenoxyethanol lengthens the preservation quality to years!

• We choose to be open and honest with our preservative ingredients, rather than try to hide them under more natural sounding names such as “extracts” or “fermentations”.

Linatural

• Another natural and organic preservative that is eco-friendly for further extending the life of our farm-fresh milk lotions!
