Nestled in the stories of my childhood is the legacy of my grandmother, Sophia after whom I am named—a wise woman from a quaint village in the surrounds of Ancient Olympia, Greece. Her skincare rituals involved the use of rendered animal fat combined with olive oil to craft soap and moisturizing lotions. She belonged to a generation where self-sufficiency demanded ingenuity, resilience, and a touch of creativity.
Regrettably, these cherished ancestral practices have gradually faded away. Post-World War II, the once-home crafted skincare products yielded ground to laboratory-made counterparts laden with petroleum-based detergents and synthetic formulas. Many self-proclaimed "all-natural" products still conceal harmful chemicals like herbicides and pesticides, further distancing consumers from the wisdom of nature.
Today, Ancient Secrets stands as my homage to my grandmother, offering a return to the "old ways" of finding solace in nature's bounty. Our tallow balms, available in both solid and whipped forms, feature our signature ingredients—rendered 100% organic grass-fed beef tallow, infused with an 'award-winning' organic cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil sourced directly from Ancient Olympia, Greece. Our balms boast nutrient-rich properties, delivering unparalleled hydration, soothing, and anti-aging benefits.
Your skin is a marvel, intuitively knowing what it needs to thrive. Ancient Secrets is committed to unveiling a skincare secret previously hidden from you. Once you experience the transformative power of our tallow-based skinfood, there's no turning back.

How to Use 'Ancient Secrets' Tallow Balm:
Recommended application depends on individual needs and skin conditions. All tallow balms are suitable for daily use, and their versatility allows for multiple applications throughout the day. For intense hydration and addressing concerns like severely dry skin, burns, rashes, and abrasions, it is recommended to apply the balm three to four times a day. For addressing fine lines, wrinkles, or mild dryness, a once or twice daily application is sufficient.
Tallow's natural variations, including colour and consistency, are influenced by factors such as the cow's breed and age, the farm's unique characteristics and, when sourced from different regions if unavailable locally. The infusion of essential oils may also contribute to variations in the color of our tallow balms. The texture of our balms can vary, showcasing qualities such as smoothness, firmness, creaminess, silkiness, or a grainier feel, depending on the conditions to which the tallow has been exposed. Additionally, you might notice a slightly more fluid consistency in warmer conditions. It's important to note that these natural variations are normal and do not impact the product's quality.
