Dr. Handle’s is a store centered on wild materials, creativity, and sustainability. Homemade and all-natural salves, soaps, teas & tinctures are made from sustainably sourced local materials in the Appalachian Plateau of the Southern Tier of New York. The physical store also houses showings & sales for visiting artists & fossil preparators.
Bear tallow is notorious for its conditioning and moisturizing abilities. The chemical structure of bear fat is very similar to that of people and so it is absorbed directly into the skin, quickly and leaves no sticky film. Long lasting relief of symptoms of dry skin and other issue.
Our bear suet is locally and ethically sourced, then triple rendered at dr. handle's workshop, followed by a 6 hour herbal infusion. The herbs infused into the rendered tallow are Heal-All (self heal), Yarrow, and sunflower petals. The herbs are a mix of both foraged or grown on site in a herbicide and pesticide free setting under state and federal organic standards. No added scents or essential oils.
Ingredients: triple rendered & herb (seal heal, yarrow, sunflower petal) infused bear tallow and USDA certified organic white bees wax.
2.0 fluid oz.
