☀️Which is better for your skin after sunburn?🥵

🪴Aloe Vera
Or
🐮Tallow

In my experience nothing beats Aloe Vera immediately after sunburn. But it isn't what I use day in day out.

😎Aloe Vera works great to cool and hydrate but it does lack a lot of the vitamins and fats that our skin needs to rebuild.

Aloe Vera is more readily available and easy to put into creams but it doesn't mean every sun repair creams is natural.

Tallow is better for restoring the skin because:
💧Hydrates for longer and prevents moisture loss
🔨Repairs the skin with Vitamins A, E, and K that help keep skin flexible
✨Oleic, Palmitic, and Stearic acid are magic for rebuilding our skin because they are fatty acids that are structurally similar to our own skin. (Bioavailability)

So tell us

⁉️What do you use after sunburn?

Here's a peek at what we offer our online customers.

Friends we may never meet in person. Some have been with us 10+ orders back when our website was crap.

The online is one aspect of our business we're especially proud of. Maybe one day we'll have a fancy rewards system or buy-one-get-one offer.

But when it's just us and we don't have the money for big distribution and everything we do has been through trial and error we make it simple and honest.

We think that intention is carried through the products when they're handled with caring hands.

Sometimes we have an intuition to give more. Whether a little soap or a favorite product.

Why?

Because waking up to online orders is a dream come true and we are blessed to have an international reach.

All without doing any paid marketing.

It's all humans behind our online presence and when you contact us with any question or concern we do our best to respond as soon as possible.

So thank you for checking out our online store and spreading the word about our tallow products.

Will you choose to listen to your body?

I can add my own experience with hair quality now, 4 months in postpartum. 💇‍♀️

Despite having the best products for hair, the quality has changed too much... that now I consider either cutting it or tying it all the time.

I know that it's hormones related to breastfeeding. So, can I focus on my health (with food and good living) instead of looking for an outside fix?

We'll dig deeper in future weeks & with a specific post . ✨️

Take care of your (whole) self. ❤️🙏

Love,
Maria

🌦️Spring is the time for planting Wildflowers.

So, all our online customers and many in-store will receive seed bombs in their orders.

🙏It's our way of saying "thank you" to the great mother Earth who sustains us.

How do you seed bomb?

Plant them in pots
Plant them in your garden
Plant them in a park

Wherever you want!

Throw them out the window of your car onto some lawn that looks too "manicured".

Plant them to beautify a neglected area.

🌱Nature takes care of the rest.

🐝Bees will get summer food and insects and spiders will get a home.

Most NAMAWE products contain foraged botanicals that wouldn't be possible without neighbors and communities who let nature be wild.

So get wild and throw these seed bombs!

Have fun!

Feedback that makes my day ☀️

And this was after saying to her I wouldn't make this spf in a while... 🥹

Might be more like a "drop in and notice" kind of product, simply because it makes me so angry that people would make harmful products for kids!🥺

Being a mum now, it activates "the moma instinc": which means I want to give my kid all safety I can provide...

❤️ By eating the best and breastfeeding her as much as I can

❤️ By homecooking when the time comes.

❤️ By using my products on her! (Obviously!)

🤱 I know many of you feel like this mother. After the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd child! We might fall for the cream once but not twice.

You mothers are my best inspiration. 🙏 (Said to myself too, now 🥰)

Thanks for being here.
Thanks for wanting different.
Thanks for researching!

Love,
Maria

Changes that are happening immediately after a clearing of old energies. ✨️

💚 We are not taking used jars anymore. Please don't bring them to the shop. Use to recycle them or use them for home projects.

💚 We're reducing packaging on online deliveries. Less waste. Same heart.

💚 Offerings that go away one sold out are:
➡️ Midges Balm
➡️Beard Oil
➡️Hair Oil
➡️SPF / Summer Balm

⚠️ Day Cream will be done eventually, but it'll take longer than usual, so please be patient with us. 🥰

This is not because the offerings don't work, but they are obviously a lot and take different ingredients and methods. 🫠 This can be a lot when there's SO MUCH attention on our Tallow Balms, Soaps, and Shampoo Bars, which are our staple anyway. 💐

Thanks for your understanding and amazing feedback on our products! We love you for your support all this time. 🙏

Love,
Maria

1st day of opening my shop in Altamoung St. I got a salesman trying to sell me Fragances! 🤔

Just a thought, following your gut is also good advice... (for me, at least). ❤️

I had many people not really knowing what they're doing, making Goat's milk soap bars and combining them with Fragances... sorry, but that is making more bad than good to the person! 🤯

Anyway, this is only my opinion and experience over the years. So I'll let you take yours.

We're in the era of information, so I'm sure you'll find everything everywhere... in that case, I'd rely on old fashion ways to make. 😉

Have a nice day! ✨️

Love,
Maria
