Episode notes
Why Lard, Leaf Lard, And Tallow Differ
- Lard (subcutaneous pig fat) differs from tallow (ruminant visceral fat) and leaf lard (pig visceral fat) in composition and function.
- Mayfield says lard soaks into skin while tallow acts more as a sealing barrier.
Combine Lard And Tallow For Best Results
- Use a blend: let lard penetrate and tallow act as a seal to retain moisture.
- This combination achieves absorption plus barrier protection without petroleum jelly.
Avoid Petroleum Waste Products
- Avoid petrolatum-based products when possible and choose simpler, fewer-chemical options.
- Seek the minimum effective dose for skincare to reduce chemical and hormonal disruption.
