Tallow Balm - Helichrysum

At Saoirse Naturally, we believe skincare is nourishment — and our star ingredient is tallow.

Used by Gaelic women and ancient cultures for centuries, tallow is deeply compatible with human skin. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, it hydrates, protects, and helps restore the skin barrier — without clogging pores or irritating sensitive skin.

We source pure Irish grass-fed suet and render it slowly, blending it with oils, herbs, and plant extracts just as our ancestors once did.

This is how we honour ancestral wisdom and create skincare that’s as pure and powerful as nature intended.

When using tallow-based natural skincare products, there are a few cautions to keep in mind to ensure safe and effective use.

Firstly, it is important to be aware of any possible allergies or sensitivities to the ingredients contained in the products. Please read the ingredients list carefully, and conduct a patch test by applying a small amount of the product to a small area of skin before using it on a larger area. If any irritation occurs, discontinue use and seek medical advice if necessary.

It is also important to use the products gently and sparingly, as they contain natural and plant-based ingredients that can be sensitive to overuse. Start with a small amount, and slowly add more as required.

When storing tallow-based skincare products, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to extend their shelf life. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or moisture, which can reduce their effectiveness and quality.

Finally, while natural skincare products can be a great option for those with sensitive skin, they do not replace medical advice or treatment for serious skin conditions. If you have any concerns or health issues related to your skin, it is always advisable to seek professional medical advice.

Our formulations are blended with the most natural and earthy ingredients to provide you with healthy, glowing skin. Our roll-on perfumes are crafted in a way that captures the essence of nature's scents.

Instructions for Products Containing Essential Oils:
1. Always read the product label and follow the instructions for the best use.
2. Conduct a patch test by applying a small amount of the product to a small area of skin before using it on a larger area.
3. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser, followed by a toner before applying your natural skincare product.
4. Apply a small amount of the product to your fingertips and gently massage it into your skin using circular, upward motions to promote blood circulation.
5. Use gentle strokes to apply the product around the eyes and lips, where the skin is prone to develop wrinkles.

Cautions for Essential Oil Products:
1. Avoid getting essential oil-based skincare products on your eyes. If this happens, rinse the area with water carefully.
2. If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test at least 24 hours before applying the product.
3. Avoid using these types of products on already irritated skin, including sunburn.
4. Store your products away from children and pets, in a cool and dry place.
5. Do not use expired products beyond the expiration date to avoid reactions and negative skin effects.

Instructions for Roll-On Essential Oil Perfumes:
1. Cleanse your skin and let it dry before applying a roll-on perfume oil.
2. Roll a tiny amount of the perfume oil over the pulse points of your wrists and along the throat and decolletage area.
3. Wait for absorption, and if you notice any trace of irritation, stop using it right away.
4. Our roll-ons are crafted with natural ingredients, free from harmful chemicals, and designed to tickle your senses.
5. Allow the fragrance to develop on your skin, which will ultimately lead to a long-lasting aroma unique to you.
6. Apply it as often as needed through the day. Natural perfumes scent wears off faster than other perfumes and lasts for about an hour.

Cautions for Roll-On Essential Oil Perfumes:
1. Avoid using large amounts of the roll-on perfume at once. Use it sparingly to the pulse points for a lasting scent throughout the day. Do patch test before use if concerned.
2. Discontinue using it if you observe any negative reaction after use and seek direction from your physician or certified dermatology expert.
3. Store the perfume oil in a dry, moderate temperature setting to preserve the aroma of its natural ingredients.
4. Our roll-on perfume bottles are made of glass to protect the essential oils and your skin.

By following these instructions, you can enjoy healthy, glowing skin with a natural fragrance that keeps you feeling confident and beautiful.

Using glass jars for our skincare products is the perfect solution for preserving the product's quality and protecting it from environmental factors that can negatively impact the formulation.

Glass is non-reactive, non-porous, and inert, making it an excellent material for storing skincare products that contain natural ingredients.

Unlike materials like plastic or metal, glass does not release or absorb any chemicals or particles that can contaminate or alter the product's composition and quality.

Additionally, using a glass jar for skincare products helps in preventing contamination and ensures that only pure and clean product comes into contact with the skin. Glass jars provide an airtight seal, which protects the product from the elements like moisture, air, and UV rays, leading to a longer shelf life and efficient product usage. Besides, glass jars are easy to clean and reuse, making them an eco-friendly choice for skincare product packaging.

In summary, using a glass jar for skincare products is a superb option that ensures the longevity and quality of the formulation while also protecting the skin. It is an excellent choice for customers who prioritize product effectiveness, purity, and quality.
