Regenerative Animal-Based Ingredients
Pasture-Raised, Pure, Hand-Rendered USA Lard feeds your hair and skin extra-nourishing balanced fatty acids and the world’s highest Vitamin D3 content, second only to cod liver oil. Lard has been used in haircare since medieval times for skin health, hair growth, and hair health management. Our lard is carefully hand-rendered to keep its precious rare nutrients in-tact.
Lard is the 2nd fat in the world that is highest in Vitamin D3, second only to cod liver oil! Vitamin D3 is the most bioavailable form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D delivers a myriad of health benefits, including supporting healthy skin and hair. As it turns out, Vitamin D3 in its activated form does all the wonders on your skin regeneration and other metabolic functions in the skin. Vitamin D3 is also involved in various signaling pathways in the hair follicle and has a direct (and critical) role in the hair growth (aka anagen) phase. Topical application of vitamin D3 has been shown to render protection against damage caused to the skin by UV light. Vitamin D3 reduces cell death, promotes cell survival, and reduces redness and inflammation.
Pasture-Raised, properly fed lard is low on the comedogenic scale: it will not clog pores nor cause inflammation, in fact it may help with those issues. Since it is slightly higher in unsaturated fatty acids, it provides a more bubbly lather and a squeakier clean.
Our Lard is:
-
Slowly and carefully hand-rendered in our facility from the farm-fresh raw source
-
NEVER bleached or ultra-processed for a “white look”
-
Pasture-Raised from LOCAL and USA small family farms

Local, Raw, Farm-Fresh, Grass-fed, Hand-Cultured Buttermilk to feed your skin the perfect food – high in essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids. Full-fat Jersey cow buttermilk is higher than goat milk in lactic acid and has the same moisturization content. The famously beautiful Egyptian Queen Cleopatra was a wise proponent, bathing in fresh buttermilk daily.
Buttermilk is high in multiple different proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Farm-fresh, raw buttermilk can have dozens of naturally occurring probiotics along with alpha-hydroxy acids like lactic acid, which promote cell renewal and rejuvenation of beauty factors such as brightness, tone, and complexion maintenance. Milk is considered a “complete protein” and “near-perfect food” meaning it contains all nine of the essential amino acids necessary for your body to function at an optimal level, plus all the essential Omega 3, 6, & 9 fatty acids in balanced proportions in addition to most of the vitamins and minerals your body needs. And buttermilk is even better! If raw milk can grow a baby calf into a cow within a few months, think of what it does to your hair!
Our Buttermilk is:
-
Slowly and carefully hand-cultured from the farm-fresh raw source
-
When the farm-fresh raw buttermilk arrives in our facility, it is frozen and used first-in, first-out to ensure the best nutrient content

Egg Yolk
Raw, Pasture-Raised, Free-Range, Organic-Fed, Local Egg Yolk nourishes your skin with superfood benefits. Egg yolks have an abundance of healthy vitamins, necessary minerals, moisturizing fatty-acids, and epidermal-building proteins to give your skin everything it needs for success, a list so long that it would be hard to look at it all here. The humble yet time-honored chicken egg is loaded with healthy fats, which help replenish moisture in balanced ratios. Eggs include lutein, which can enhance skin moisture and suppleness, and protein, which helps rejuvenate and tighten the skin. Eggs enrich your skin holistically. Egg yolks are perfect for boosting the radiance of your complexion since they are high in fatty acids, which hydrate the epidermis. Applying protein-rich eggs to the skin can help tighten and tone the skin while replenishing lost nutrients from aging and environmental exposures. Afterall, your skin will absorb what you put on it, just like a nicotine patch! Egg yolk is rich in the vitamins that may make skin more resistant to environmental damage. If eggs can grow a whole baby chicken, then think of the benefits for your skin!
Honey
-
Raw, local, real honey – honored since ancient times as a priceless health food, as well as an irreplaceable ingredient for skin care products.
-
Honey has emollient (moisturizing) and humectant (moisture-drawing) properties that add hydration to dry skin types.*
-
Its natural humectant properties seal in, attract moisture, and prevent future moisture loss, which is great news for itchy and dry skin.*
-
Aside from moisturizing, honey also harbors anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, showing promise for acne-prone skin.*
-
Silk protein peptides promote elasticity and a smooth complexion.
-
Silk also helps the skin’s water barrier to retain moisture and provides a radiant glow.
Clay & Detox Ingredients
-
Activated charcoal effectively cleanses the skin, unclogs pores, removes deeper impurities, and dead skin cells. The result is smooth, supple, and even-toned skin.
-
Activated charcoal is made by burning wood until it has small pores that increase its surface area, resulting in a highly absorbent, ultra-fine, black powder.
-
Because of its antibacterial and soothing properties, kaolin clay has been useful in cases of inflammation and acne.
-
The minerals in kaolin clay can remove oils, secretions, and contaminants from the skin.
-
Serves as cleansing and refreshing agents by absorbing moisture and impurities and by reducing blemishes.
-
Bentonite clay works like a sponge on your skin. It absorbs dirt and oil, like sebum. Too much sebum can lead to acne.
-
The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties may help your skin heal.*
-
Rhassoul clay soaks up excess sebum in skin that over-produces oil, helping to rebalance sebum production and help return equilibrium, which will prevent future breakouts.* Rhassoul’s unique absorbing properties draw excess oil and impurities from the skin like a magnet.
-
Organic Moroccan clay powder has a mild abrasive texture which helps to scrub off dead skin cells when mixed in with water or oil to form a gritty paste. This will leave you skin feeling silky smooth and soft, and those flaky dead skin cells will be no more.
Certified Organic Plant-Based Ingredients
-
USDA Certified Organic Aloe Vera Juice 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 without clogging pores, actually minimizing acne breakouts.*
-
Has anti-inflammatory properties to reduce the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles.*
-
Wonderful for soothing faster healing from sun burns and/or high temperature heat burns.*
-
Top 6 Benefits of Aloe Vera for Skin with scientific explanations:
1. Soothing Sunburns and Skin Injuries
Aloe vera soothes sunburns and skin injuries by increasing collagen synthesis and cross-linking. This helps reduce any resulting scar tissue and speeds up wound healing. Aloe also contains compounds called aloin and anthraquinones, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits that can help alleviate pain and promote healing.
But take heed: Aloe vera should only be applied to mild-to-moderate 1st & 2nd-degree burns—more severe burns need to be treated in a medical facility.
2. Moisturizing Skin
Since aloe vera contains humectants (substances that attract water from the air or from deeper in the skin), it’s thought to be especially beneficial for dry skin types. Aloe specifically contains mucopolysaccharides, which bind moisture into the skin. It also has cohesive effects by sticking together flaking epidermal skin cells, resulting in softer skin and improved skin integrity.
3. Fading Dark Spots and Stretch Marks
There are two compounds in aloe that may fade dark spots and stretch marks: aloesin and aloin. In one study, aloesin was applied four times per day for 15 days and was found to be effective in treating UV-induced and post-acne hyperpigmentation. Another study found aloin destroyed melanin cells (an overproduction of which causes dark spots to form) in pigmented cells by blocking activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin production.
4. Managing Acne
Aloe vera contains naturally occurring salicylic acid, urea nitrogen, cinnamic acid, phenols and sulfur—all of which inhibit the growth of fungi, bacteria and viruses. It also has anti-inflammatory capabilities, which suppresses P. acnes, the bacteria that causes acne. Salicylic acid is currently one of the best ways to prevent acne, since it sheds dead cells from the outer layer of the skin and decreases redness and inflammation.
5. Soothing Skin Conditions
Flare-ups of psoriasis—an inflammatory condition that causes red, itchy and scaly patches—may be better managed with aloe vera in the mix, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. Ditto eczema, a skin condition that causes your skin to become red and itchy and more prone to fungal and bacterial infections: Aloe has antiseptic, antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties that may soothe eczema by hydrating and protecting it from contaminants.
6. Slowing Signs of Aging
Because aloe vera contains vitamins C and E, it stands to reason it may help prevent the formation of free radicals, which are the molecules that cause cell damage. Meanwhile, the salicylic acid it contains acts as a gentle exfoliant—and once those pesky dead skin cells are out of the way, your other skin-care products might better penetrate the surface and do their thing more effectively as a result.

I normally avoid using soaps to wash my face because it’s so sensitive ( I just opt for filtered water and an exfoliation cloth most days). But I figured I’d give this a go, since it’s free of all the bad stuff that usually causes me issues. So on the days I feel like my skin does need a good cleanse, I use this and it’s been great!
It’s so nice to use a facial soap that doesn’t cause me any skin issues, you don’t know how much of a relief that is to me!
I’ll be trying another one when I eventually run out of this bar, although it may take me a good while – it’s quite large!

First off, let’s talk about the ingredients. This cleanser boasts a unique blend of natural, high-quality components, including pasture-raised lard, Babassu oil, egg yolks, buttermilk, and a host of other nourishing ingredients. This combination is a testament to the commitment to quality and local sourcing. It’s refreshing to see a product that goes the extra mile to use sustainable, ethically sourced ingredients. The texture of the cleanser is luxurious, and it lathers up beautifully without over-drying my skin. The rich, creamy consistency makes it feel like a spa treatment every time I use it. It effectively removes impurities and leaves my skin feeling incredibly clean and soft. One of the standout features is the inclusion of natural exfoliants like bamboo extract powder and turmeric. These ingredients gently buff away dead skin cells, revealing a brighter and more radiant complexion over time. I also appreciate the addition of detoxifying clays and activated black charcoal, which help draw out impurities and provide a deep cleanse without being overly harsh. It’s a great option for those concerned about occasional breakouts or congested pores.

I wanted to love this product and although it seemed to work at first – it dried my skin out too much where I had to stopped using it. The smell was good and it felt nice on my skin – so I ended up using it on my body and it worked great. APPROVED

This soap is great for daily use! My husband and I both use this soap and it is absolutely wonderful. Doesn’t dry out my skin but leaves it feeling very clean and no traces of make up left behind. I use it with my silicone face scrubber to add a bit of exfoliation and it works wonders. Also lasts awhile which is nice because it gives a lot for your dollar. We highly recommend this face cleanser!

Yet another Perma-Earth product to love. This bar works so well, leaving my face clean, soft, hydrated and super nourished. Amazed at the exceptionally high quality, yet simple ingredients—the way skincare was meant to be. And no plastic packaging! I use this bar daily; a little goes a long way. I can already see it will last me many months—such a great value.

My face feels very fresh and clean after washing with this! I use it sparingly because my skin is a bit on the drier side, so I don’t usually need a cleanser like this. But it’s worked great for days I got extra sweaty, or when I eat something really greasy and my skin responds in kind (oops!). It’s also lasted quite awhile…you don’t need much product at all to get the job done!

I am an active surfer and I always have sunscreen caked in my face. This face soap has helped get all the sunscreen out of my pore. It leaves my face feeling super clean too. I will say my chin area did start to get a little dry so I just use less now and the dryness does not happen anymore. I am thankful for good clean face soap!

So glad I found this! My skin can be sensitive at times and this soap doesn’t irritate or dry it out like most face cleansers do. I love the little bit of grit in it for light exfoliation. Even though I bought a tiny bar to try it out, there’s still so much left. You really don’t need much at all. Will definitely continue to purchase this!

Even though I have an oil cleanser I love, sometimes I want to skip a double cleanse and keep things simple. And Mariah’s Face the Day is perfect for this (and takes the cake as my favorite facial soap ever)! It has everything – ultra nourishing ingredients paired with a gentle exfoliant – it’s the ideal Goldilocks fit for my skin. Never stripped and perfectly moisturized, my skin is always happier than it was before, dare I say brighter with every cleanse, and nary a breakout in sight. A winner all the way around!

This bar is a fantastic cleanser. My friend Paige and I both got one of these in our latest order (Yo Paige!). I’m really pleased with the way this soap makes my skin feel. It feels clean, soft and most importantly less oily without making my skin super dry. It’s a great balance and works well for my sensitive skin. Paige and I (you can concur yourself Paige) didn’t smell much from the bar at all. It smelled as if you were to do a dead sea mud mask of some sort.

Starting a routine for washing my face that will include this bar daily and moisturizing with the tallow face cream after. The bar has a light scent— it almost a muddy chocolate smell to me. It also has a grainy enough texture that it does feel exfoliating but it’s not as aggressive as the walnut specialty bar (LOVE that bar too). Excited to see how the combino of the two products benefits my skin. Overall, I’ve stopped using chemical loaded face washes and used the shampoo/body bars and have no noticed any negative side effects. I think people often worry these types of products will clog their pores and lead to increased breakouts but I’m finding the opposition. And now introducing a bar that’s specific for the face— I’m hopeful for even more positive results.
