The Origin of Arcturus
The brightest star in the northern hemisphere is known as the Arcturus star. This name spoke to us because of our goal to brighten the lives of others and their skin.
Our product started off with the simple want for a good tallow moisturizer. Right from the start, we only wanted to use the highest quality ingredients, including a reputable tallow farm and cold-pressed, unrefined oils. Once we found a great formulation, we wanted to share it with everyone.
The importance of grass-fed, grass-finished suet tallow
Many companies don’t know the importance of suet vs muscle tallow. Suet is the fat that surrounds the liver and kidneys. It is much more saturated and nutrient dense than muscle fat, containing more vitamins and minerals.
It is commonly believed that tallow is only a greasy and messy cooking agent used for food, but that has proven to be false. A research study published on the Natural Library of Medicine extensively dissects the composition and benefits of tallow, highlighting its compatibility with the skin and the nutrient rich compounds it delivers within the dermal layers, mainly including vitamins A, B12, D, K and E. The results of the study proved that tallow increased hydration and moisture in the skin, relieved eczema and dermatitis, along with having anti-microbial properties.
The Importance of Cold-Pressed and Unrefined
Cold-pressed oils retain a high amount of antioxidants and nutrients otherwise taken away during high heat exposure in the expeller-pressed process or the solvent-extracted process. It will deliver the most nourishment to your skin and provide the most effective compounds for healing.
