Why ‘Natural’ Doesn’t Always Mean Safe — And What To Look For Instead

Greenwashing is everywhere in skincare. Learn how to spot it and why Mad Cow’s Whipped Tallow & Manuka Honey Balm is the real deal.

“Natural” sounds safe. But in the beauty world, it’s often just a marketing tactic. Plant oils, cheap extracts, and fillers can sit on the skin doing little more than creating the illusion of hydration. Meanwhile, your skin cries out for real nourishment.

At Mad Cow Tallow, we don’t play games. Every ingredient in our Whipped Tallow & Manuka Honey Balm is carefully selected for purpose:

  • Grass-fed tallow: Rich in A, D, E & K vitamins; supports the skin barrier
  • Manuka honey: Heals, hydrates, and protects
  • Organic essential oils: Zesty, calming, and antioxidant-rich

No greenwashing. No synthetic “natural” imposters. Just honest, effective, biologically compatible skincare.

Look for traceable ingredients, small-batch production, and purpose-driven formulation — all things we obsess over. Your skin deserves authenticity, not a fancy label.
