Holistic self-care is this month’s topic of discussion. In this episode, we will be discussing natural self-care products with Andrew Gardner of Vintage Tradition.
Little did Andrew Gardner know that a trip to a farm in Mexico would lead him to embark on another journey, one to discover a practical solution to the modern skin care dilemma, a solution consistent with the true principles of nutrition and health. This journey led to the discovery of what people used for skin care before the introduction of man-made chemicals as well as the science behind the traditional wisdom. Due to the lack of any product on the market that fit the ideal for healthy and effective skincare, he was prompted to create a formula that he could use and share with others, a simple recipe for traditional nourishing and healing skin care.
His quest began after a tour of a farm in Tequila, Mexico, where the famous liquor of the same name is produced from the blue agave plant. Even though the workers in this desert where the plants are cultivated did not use gloves, their hands were soft and not dry or calloused. He was informed that they had always used a balm which was a mixture of beef tallow and gel from the blue agave plant. This amazing “new” information was the impetus for his research into traditional skin care and what people used on their skin before the advent of unnatural substances such as petroleum products and chemically fractionated plant products. He published his findings in a research article about using tallow for skin care.
