Each ingredient is chosen carefully for its unique moisturization, healing and protection benefits:
- Organic Buffalo Tallow from prairie-grass fed and finished buffalo sourced exclusively from Wild Idea Buffalo. The Cadillac of tallows.
- Organic Castor Oil can help:
- Prevent infection: Castor oil's antimicrobial properties can help create an environment that is less hospitable to harmful bacteria.

- Promote wound healing: Castor oil can help promote tissue growth and reduce dryness.
- Soothe itchiness: Castor oil can help soothe itchiness.

- Brighten ink: Calendula can help brighten tattoo ink.
- Relieve discomfort: Calendula can help relieve discomfort and irritation.
- Echinacea Flower has antiseptic and natural antibiotic properties that can help reduce swelling and prevent infection.
- Comfrey:
- Soothes skin: Comfrey can reduce pain and inflammation, and soothe the skin.
- Speeds healing: The allantoin in comfrey can help skin heal faster, especially when it's rough, inflamed, or blistered.
- Stops bleeding: Comfrey can help stop bleeding.
- Plantain Leaf:
- Plantain leaves can be good for tattoos because they contain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help with healing and reducing scarring.
- Antibacterial properties: Plantain leaves contain allantoin, which can kill bacteria and germs that can slow down healing.
- Anti-inflammatory properties: Plantain leaves can help with inflammation.
- Scar reduction: Plantain leaves can help reduce the chances of scarring, which can permanently change the appearance of a tattoo.
- Frankincense Essential Oil
- By preventing infection, frankincense essential oil speeds up wound healing. Faster healing decreases the duration of itching and pain as well as infections.
- Myrrh Essential Oil
- Some studies suggest that myrrh oil can help wounds heal faster by increasing the number of white blood cells around the wound.
- Cinnamon Essential Oil:
- Antioxidants: Cinnamon's antioxidants may protect the skin from free radicals that break down collagen.

I use it on my kids, and feel good knowing the ingredients can be trusted.
For health reasons, I've been on a journey trying to find natural, nontoxic, but effective alternatives to some of the traditional bath and beauty products our family uses. I found this body butter and am obsessed. I've replaced my everyday lotion with it. I use it on my kids, and feel good knowing the ingredients can be trusted. I started using the bath bombs for my son who has sensory issues and hates lotion. The moisture in the bath bomb helps keep his skin from getting dry, and I don't have to worry about fighting to put lotion on him. Also love that I'm supporting a small, founder-owned business. Thank you, Black Hills!

The items are all hand made in store and the products are very high quality.
Wow! This place is a MUST DO when you are in Custer! The items are all hand made in store and the products are very high quality. The candles and coffee mugs are the perfect souvenir from your time in the Black Hills! The women working that day was super knowledgable about the products and was so kind, welcoming, and friendly. Of all the shopping we did (which was a lot), while is Custer, this place was definitely our favorite!!

I love that this tallow is prairie grass fed!
I have tried beef tallow before but until I learned about the hormones that can be present, I have been looking for something that's more pure to use. I recently tried the buffalo tallow and it was so velvety and creamy and it absorbs quickly into the skin! I'm looking forward to trying the different scents! I love that this tallow is prairie grass fed!
