Dr. Cure's Apothecary

NEW Spring colors are here 🌺!!

Spring may be taking its sweet time this year 😏, but I’m going to will it here with some fresh, bright colors💄

Treat your lips with a soothing, moisturizing natural lip balm. Made with 3 simple ingredients, you can feel good about looking great 👄. They’re made with the same ingredients as the lip balm, but with a pop 💥 of color!

Let’s talk sunscreen! Summer may be winding down but it’s not over yet! Yes, we need to be outside, without sunscreen, for adequate vitamin D production. But, if you're outside in the prime hours of heat, sunscreen is a necessity.

Many conventional sunscreens have recently been recalled for containing cancer causing chemicals. Not only that but, they also contain known hormone disrupters, which contribute to a slew of other issues. I know that I wouldn't want to put that on my own skin, much less my children's.

When choosing a sunscreen, it's essential to find one that uses non-nano zinc oxide as its active ingredient. This is important because the zinc particles are too big pe*****te your skin to enter the bloodstream. Zinc oxide is the best of the mineral sunscreen active ingredients, because it is truly a broad-spectrum blocker. That means it protects you and your family from both UVA and UVB rays. Zinc oxide sits on top of your skin (rather than soaking in, like chemical sunscreens do) and protects you by scattering, absorbing, and reflecting the sun’s rays.

Dr Cure's sunscreen combines the sun protecting power of non-nano zinc oxide with the moisturizing power of organic beef tallow to create a water resistant barrier for your skin.

It conveniently comes in a tub and a stick for easier application. The sticks are perfect to throw in your hiking or ski bag this fall and winter. My kids love to put it on their faces, all by themselves. It's also great for all those schools that require sunscreen be applied to your little one before they go outside.

The OG that started it all. Tallow body butter was the first product I began making, and is still the most frequently used in our household. We literally use it for everything: eczema, cradle cap, sunburns, you name it. I personally have noticed a decrease in fine lines and wrinkles on my face. My skin looks and feels more healthy and vibrant.

These days, our kids spend a lot of time in the pool. We lather them up with this after bath, and it protects their skin from the damaging effects of chlorine.

In the winter, we still lather them up almost nightly to hydrate their skin amid the dry Colorado air. It's intensely moisturizing, you'll notice it immediately after applying it to your skin, especially compared to the typical plant-based moisturizers.

Since tallow so closely resembles the makeup of our skin, it absorbs easily and our skin can actually breathe through it. An added bonus, the natural antimicrobial properties in tallow help to prevent acne and breakouts. You don't need much, a little goes a long way!

I started making tallow lotion and soap shortly after my 2-year-old was born. Any lotion or soap we put on her body caused her to breakout in a rash, even the ones specially formulated for "sensitive skin." I took a look at the ingredients inside and it's no wonder it caused that reaction. We had some tallow in the kitchen, as we use it for cooking. I had read about using Tallow for skincare, so I opened up the cupboard and gave it a go. We haven't looked back. These are the only skincare products we use in our household, and we've noticed big changes in the texture and feel of our skin. It cleared up Taysom's rash and cradle cap. As an added bonus, when my kids eat the lotion, I'm not concerned. I started making it for my family and friends and got a huge positive response. So, here we are. I believe strongly in an animal based, whole food diet, and our skincare should be no different. Our skin is our largest organ and whatever we put on it gets absorbed into our bloodstream. So choose wisely what you put on it. If you're still not convinced, I encourage you to look at the ingredients in your favorite skincare products and then look at the ingredients in mine. If you have sensitive skin or are just looking for some cleaner products, look no further. #DrCuresApothecary #TallowSkincare #carnivore #tallow #TallowSoap #TallowLotion
