It might seem like I just make some product, but it’s really all wrapped up in a quest for deep, multidimensional healing.

It’s about standing up for REAL, unadulterated food.

It’s about honoring the Earth by committing more and more to regenerative agricultural practices that also honor the lives of the beings who become a part of us.

It’s about giving our bodies the nutrients they need — and *know* how to receive.

while we are in deep gratitude to the ayurvedic tradition + to the peoples of india for sharing and popularizing the magic that is GHEE, did you know that the process of clarifying butter for preservation is ancient and widespread, including in the culinary traditions of north africa , yemen , mongolia , brazil , ethiopia + russia?

in morocco, where my mama is from, and other parts of north africa, it’s called SMEN. to make it, sheep, cow, or goat’s milk butter is clarified before being poured into a ceramic jar with the addition of salt. HERBS are sometimes mixed in + then the jar is traditionally buried underground to ferment, for at least a month but up to many years. i even read (somewhere) that when a baby is born, it’s tradition to make some smen, bury it and unearth it many years later as a delicacy in which to cook the food for that child’s WEDDING!!

smen is a staple of moroccan cooking, used in tagines + couscous, spread on bread as a snack, and even mixed into coffee!

there’s nothing new under the sun 🌞 honored to be in remembrance ✨✨✨✨

⋆｡˚☀︎｡ SKIN FOOD ⋆｡˚☀︎｡ retinol, or pre-formed vitamin A sourced from animals, is literal skin food. the ingestible kind!

you can find it in foods like beef liver, egg yolks, oily fish, and dairy products. pasture-raised ghee is a wonderfully bioavailable source since retinol relies on dietary fat to be utilized by the body. the retinol naturally found in ghee (more highly concentrated when sourced from cows that graze on pasture) is already fully integrated into the lipid matrix, making it the perfect delivery system for our immediate use.

what it does for us:
🥀 promotes cellular turnover - shedding dead skin cells and generating new ones improves texture, helps clear pores, and supports the transformation from dull to radiant skin
🥚 strengthens barrier function - it supports healthy skin tissue without stripping or compromising the delicate outer acid mantle (unlike topical retinoids)
💦 promotes collagen production - provides structural support to keep skin firm, hydrated, and resilient
☄️regulates sebaceous gland activity - helps manage breakouts and acne

fat and fertile, baby.

nourishment is one of the most important inputs when trying to conceive. how do we provide the body with the material foundation required to create new life? what foods signal abundance to our own cells, so that they can multiply? could eating enough promote a felt sense of safety that signals it’s safe to bring new life into the world? reproductive physiology is energetically expensive, which is why we need foods like ghee that serve ENERGY DENSITY.

we need more. we need extra. by @bellyofthesun
