Why Brooklyn Skin Food?
🌿 100% Seed Oil-Free – Industrial seed oils (like sunflower, safflower, and soybean) are highly processed, inflammatory, and unstable, leading to oxidation and skin damage. We never use them. Instead, we rely on nutrient-dense, skin-identical saturated fats that truly restore and protect.
🔥 Grass-Fed & Finished Tallow – Our star ingredient is ancestral skincare at its best—packed with bioavailable vitamins A, D, E, and K, plus skin-loving lipids that deeply hydrate and support collagen production. Unlike plant-based oils, tallow closely mimics human sebum, making it the most effective natural moisturizer.
🛡️ The Anti-Inflammatory Power of Saturated Fats – Unlike unstable polyunsaturated oils that oxidize and contribute to skin inflammation and aging, saturated fats remain stable and protective. They soothe irritation, calm redness, and reinforce the skin’s natural defenses, helping skin stay resilient, soft, and deeply nourished.
🚫 No Toxins, No Fillers, No Compromises – Our formulas are 100% non-toxic, free from parabens, artificial fragrances, synthetic preservatives, aluminum, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Every ingredient serves a purpose—nothing unnecessary.
🔬 Science-Backed, Ancestral Skincare – Rooted in evidence-based skincare and holistic wellness, our products work with your skin’s natural biology, rather than disrupting it with harsh, lab-made chemicals.
✨ Pure, Food-Grade Ingredients – If you wouldn’t put it in your body, why put it on your skin? We use only organic, food-grade ingredients that provide deep nourishment and lasting hydration—without the hidden toxins.
🌎 Sustainable & Conscious – Our commitment to clean beauty extends beyond skincare. We source ingredients responsibly, minimize waste, and create products designed to heal, not harm—your skin and the planet.
