I make a body butter with half organic leaf lard and half wagyu beef tallow. I blend in some sea buckthorn oil and some borage oil and a few essential oils for scent. It is more luxurious and doesn't have any of the toxic chemicals that are in most store bought lotions.

I started looking for more natural products when I got put on a progesterone cream because my body wasn't producing progesterone (or only a tiny amount). It made me realize how the skin absorbs everything put on it. I now try to avoid anything that isn't food grade on my skin. I haven't 100% gotten there, but I'm fairly close.
