Modern Skincare Replaced What Actually Works
For thousands of years, humans used animal fats to heal and protect skin. Not because they were primitive. Because it worked.
Then the beauty industry stepped in.
Tallow, lard, and other traditional fats were replaced with:
- Cheap seed oils your skin can't recognize
- Petroleum derivatives that coat instead of nourish
- Synthetic preservatives that keep products "fresh" but irritate skin
- Fillers and fragrances that do nothing for healing
The shift wasn't about better results. It was about shelf life, profit margins, and mass production.
