Beauty
True beauty is nourished from within, grounded in the quality of what we eat. Hair, skin, and nails are crafted from keratin, a protein that thrives on abundant, high-quality amino acids, while teeth are fortified by calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Natural oils and cholesterol gently lubricate and protect skin and hair, preserving their suppleness and resilience. Nutrient-dense animal foods, rich in protein, fat-soluble vitamins, and essential minerals, provide the vital building blocks for luminous skin, strong nails, resilient hair, and enduring dental health.
All man made cosmetic products such as soaps, shampoos, lotions and makeup are made with processed oils and chemicals, that smother and make skin toxic whilst temporarily lubricating it. If you can’t eat it, why would you feed it to your skin, hair, nails, or teeth?
Skin - The largest organ
Facial skin reflects overall health, revealing both its own condition and that of the body’s internal organs. Made of keratinocytes producing keratin and cholesterol supporting the barrier, and approximately 64% water, skin relies on hydration for flexibility, function, and cellular vitality.
Genetics, hormones, environment, and metabolism shape its appearance—changes that moisturizers cannot prevent and may even worsen, fostering moisturizer addiction.
Lasting skin health comes from within: animal foods rich in water, proteins, minerals, and vitamins nourish and repair at the cellular level, while a minimalist skincare routine protects the natural barrier and supports clear, resilient, radiant skin.
Natural Skincare
Tallow Soap
A traditional soap made from rendered animal fat and lye, offers numerous benefits for skin health. It harmonises with the skin's natural lipids, providing deep cleansing without stripping away essential oils.
Skin Balm
Raw animal fats, such as raw butter, as well as raw coconut cream, are exceptional natural moisturisers. Rich in cholesterol and other beneficial lipids, these fats nourish and protect the skin. Cholesterol, a vital component of the skin's barrier, helps retain moisture and shield against environmental stressors
Face Mask
Applying onto the skin, a paste made of 1 teaspoon sun-dried powered clay mixed with 1.5 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar, or clay mixed with 1 raw egg attracts and absorbs toxins.
Tanning
Moderate sun exposure promotes a healthy, radiant glow by stimulating melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin color.
Hair
Human hair is primarily composed of keratin, a fibrous protein rich in sulfur-containing amino acids such as cysteine.
This complex protein structure forms the hair shaft, giving it strength and resilience. Additionally, hair contains lipids, including cholesterol, which contribute to its moisture balance and protection from environmental factors.
By consuming a diet rich in these nutrients, you can support healthy hair growth, strength, and overall appearance
Natural Haircare
Shampoo - Egg Yolk
Egg yolk is a nutrient-rich hair elixir, packed with proteins, cholesterol, vitamins, and minerals. Proteins strengthen the hair shaft, cholesterol lubricates and protects, while vitamins like biotin and B12 support growth. Minerals such as iron and zinc nourish follicles and stimulate scalp circulation.
DIRECTIONS: Wet hair, apply and rub whipped raw egg to hair and scalp. Stand for 1-5 minutes then rinse.
Haircutting - Regular Trimming
Regular haircuts remove split ends and damaged hair, promoting healthier growth and preventing breakage from traveling up the hair shaft. Even minimal trimming helps maintain shape and volume, enhancing the natural vitality of hair.
DIRECTIONS: Trim every 6–8 weeks or as needed, focusing on damaged ends while preserving length.
Scalp Massage
Gentle scalp massage stimulates blood flow to hair follicles, encouraging growth and nutrient delivery. It also helps distribute natural oils evenly along the hair shaft for natural conditioning.
DIRECTIONS: Using fingertips, massage the scalp in circular motions for 5–10 minutes daily
Teeth
Teeth are primarily composed of dentin and enamel, with enamel—the hardest substance in the body—made mostly of calcium phosphate. Raw meats and milk supply essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus, while protein and other nutrients support gums and jawbone health.
Traditional populations, such as the Inuit of the Arctic and the Masai of East Africa, who consumed diets rich in raw meats, fats, and raw milk, exhibited exceptional dental health with minimal to no tooth decay.
In contrast, refined foods like sugar and white flour deplete the body’s mineral stores, undermining enamel and leading to tooth decay and oral disease.
Dental Hygiene
Toothpaste - Sun dried Clay
A simple natural toothpaste can be made by combining sun-dried clay, raw coconut oil or butter, and a few drops of mint leaf oil. The clay gently cleanses teeth, while the oil moisturizes gums and imparts a pleasant flavor. Mint leaf oil freshens breath. This natural toothpaste, free from harsh chemicals, offers a gentle and effective way to maintain oral health.
INGREDIENTS: 1/4 teaspoon sun dried clay, 2 tablespoons raw butter, 2 drops mint leaf juice. (5 toothbrushing)
Whitening - Peroxide
For a natural approach to teeth whitening, a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda can be used. This simple solution can help lighten surface stains and brighten your smile. However, for optimal results and a more dramatic whitening effect, professional-grade dental whitening treatments with carbamide peroxide trays are recommended. These treatments, administered under dental supervision, offer a safe and effective way to achieve a beautiful, long-lasting smile..
INGREDIENTS: 2 teaspoons sodium bicarbonate, 1 teaspoon hydrogen peroxide. Mix together in a bowl. Brush teeth with this mixture 3 times per week.
