Lard (Adeps Suillus)

Lard has a long history of traditional topical use and is valued for its close similarity to human skin lipids. This structural compatibility allows it to soften and support the skin barrier without feeling overly occlusive or heavy. In traditional household care, rendered animal fats were commonly infused with herbs and used as everyday skin nourishment, especially for dry or overworked skin. Lard acts as a carrier that helps deliver herbal constituents while also contributing its own emollient qualities. In this formula, it provides the foundation of the cream, offering comfort, suppleness, and long-lasting skin feel.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis)

Calendula has been traditionally used in topical preparations for its gentle, skin-supportive nature. Herbalists have long valued calendula for its affinity for the skin and connective tissues, particularly in formulas intended to soothe and maintain skin integrity. It is often included in everyday salves and creams designed for sensitive or frequently stressed skin. When infused into fats, calendula’s constituents are slowly extracted and integrated into the base, creating a balanced herbal preparation. In this cream, calendula supports the goal of gentle, consistent skin nourishment.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)

Yarrow has a long tradition of external use and is known in herbal practice for its relationship with the skin and surface tissues. Historically, it was included in topical preparations intended to support resilience and balance in the skin. Yarrow is often paired with other gentle herbs in infused oils and fats for everyday use. Its inclusion reflects traditional formulation principles that value synergy and whole-plant use. In this cream, yarrow contributes to a grounded, time-honored herbal profile.

Cupuaçu Butter (Theobroma grandiflorum)

Cupuaçu butter is a plant butter traditionally valued for its ability to support skin softness and moisture retention. It has a naturally cushiony texture that helps create a cream that feels substantial without being stiff or waxy. In formulation, cupuaçu is often chosen for its balanced melt profile and comfortable skin feel. It complements animal fats and lighter emollients by adding body and structure to the cream. Here, it helps create a rich yet spreadable texture suitable for daily use.

Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis) Leaf Juice Powder

Aloe vera has a long history of traditional topical use and is commonly included in skin preparations for its gentle, cooling nature. Concentrated aloe powder allows these traditional qualities to be incorporated without adding excessive water to the formula. Aloe is often chosen to support overall skin comfort and hydration rather than to act as a focal ingredient. In this cream, aloe contributes to the water phase in a subtle, supportive way. Its role is complementary, helping balance richer emollients and fats.

Allantoin

Allantoin has been used in topical formulations for decades due to its reputation for being gentle and skin-compatible. It is commonly included in everyday creams designed for regular use rather than occasional treatment. In traditional-inspired formulations, ingredients like allantoin help support comfort and smoothness without introducing harshness. It is valued for how it interacts with the skin surface rather than for targeted effects. In this cream, allantoin supports the goal of a calm, approachable daily moisturizer.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) Oil

Lavender has a long history of traditional use and is one of the most widely recognized aromatic plants in herbal practice. It has been included in topical preparations not only for its scent, but for the sense of balance and familiarity it brings to a formula. In traditional contexts, lavender was often used in small amounts to complement other ingredients rather than dominate them. Here, it is used gently to provide a soft aromatic profile that aligns with the calming nature of the cream. Its inclusion is intentional and restrained.

Emulsification System (Lamellar Structure)

This cream is structured using a lamellar emulsification system, a format that more closely resembles the natural layered arrangement of lipids found in healthy skin. Rather than simply holding oil and water together, lamellar systems organize ingredients into repeating layers that support a more balanced and comfortable skin feel. This approach has roots in both traditional fat-based preparations and modern formulation science, bridging old and new ways of understanding skin care. Lamellar structures are valued for how they help creams spread evenly, absorb gradually, and remain stable without relying on heavy waxes. In this formula, the emulsification system supports the purpose of Farm to Skin by delivering nourishment in a way that feels integrated with the skin rather than sitting on top of it.
