Jojoba, the replacement for whale oil
Jojoba oil is not actually an oil but a liquid wax. In the 1970s, when the trade in sperm whale oil was restricted, jojoba became the replacement: its composition closely resembles that of whale oil. For centuries, tallow was a household staple, for candles, soap and salve.

Ancestral Cosmetics makes this cream by hand in Ireland, from tallow the brand renders itself from the kidney fat of grass-fed cattle. It contains no essential oils or fragrances.
