Crafted for Ohio Winters • Rooted in Tradition • Made with Grass-Fed Tallow

When you join us for our Tallow Body Butter Workshop, you’ll choose between two nourishing options: Plain Tallow Body Butter or Magnesium Chloride Tallow Body Butter. Both are deeply moisturizing, handcrafted, and rooted in traditional skincare—but each offers its own unique benefits.

As we celebrate America 250–Ohio, we love highlighting the resourcefulness and agricultural heritage that built our state. Tallow-based skincare connects us to early American practices, when families relied on what was local, natural, and sustainable.

Why Tallow?

We use 100% grass-fed tallow. That matters.

Grass-fed tallow:

• Contains higher levels of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K

• Has a more balanced fatty acid profile

• Comes from responsibly raised animals

• Reflects traditional, pasture-based farming practices

Tallow is remarkably compatible with our skin because its fatty acid profile closely resembles our skin’s natural oils. That means it absorbs beautifully without sitting heavy or feeling synthetic.

Benefits of Plain Tallow Body Butter

• Deeply moisturizes dry, cracked skin

• Supports the skin barrier during harsh Ohio winters

• Simple, minimal ingredients

• Excellent for sensitive skin

With Ohio’s freezing temperatures, wind, and dry indoor heat, our skin takes a beating. Plain tallow body butter creates a protective layer that locks in moisture and helps prevent winter dryness.

Our Tallow Source: Quality Matters

At Cherry City Honey, we choose to use grass-fed tallow sourced through Azure Standard because where ingredients come from truly matters.

We purchase our tallow from Azure Standard, a family-owned company committed to supporting small farms, sustainable agriculture, and clean, responsibly sourced products. Their standards align with our values—transparency, traditional foodways, and stewardship of the land.

Why that’s important to us:

• Sourced from grass-fed cattle

• Supports regenerative and pasture-based farming

• Minimally processed

• Traceable and transparently distributed

As we celebrate America 250–Ohio, we’re reminded that strong communities are built on strong local and regional agriculture. Partnering with companies that prioritize farmers and traditional methods helps us continue that legacy.

This version includes magnesium chloride, a highly absorbable form of magnesium commonly used in topical applications.

Why Magnesium Chloride?

Magnesium plays a role in:

• Muscle relaxation

• Supporting restful sleep

• Calming tired or overworked bodies

• Supporting overall wellness

When applied topically, magnesium chloride is absorbed through the skin. Many people enjoy using it on:

• Legs and feet before bed

• Shoulders and neck

• Areas of muscle tension

Combined with grass-fed tallow, it becomes both nourishing and functional—moisturizing the skin while delivering magnesium benefits.

Note: Some individuals may feel slight tingling when first using magnesium topically, especially on freshly shaved or very dry skin.

Rooted in Ohio. Rooted in History.

As we look toward America 250–Ohio, we’re reminded that early Ohio settlers relied on what was available: livestock, land, and ingenuity. Tallow was commonly used for candles, soap, and skincare. It represents resilience, practicality, and connection to the land.

Choosing grass-fed tallow today honors:

• Ohio’s farming heritage

• Sustainable animal stewardship

• Traditional skills passed down through generations

In a world full of synthetic ingredients, returning to time-tested, local resources feels especially meaningful.

Which One Should You Choose?

Choose Plain if you want:

• Simple, ultra-nourishing moisture

• Sensitive-skin friendly care

• A traditional skincare experience

Choose Magnesium Chloride if you want:

• Moisture plus muscle support

• A relaxing evening routine

• Extra support during cold, tense winter months

Either way, you’re creating something practical, historical, and deeply nourishing—perfect for surviving Ohio winters the traditional way.

We can’t wait to make it with you.
