Why do we use Canada Organic Certified Ingredients in Lipidology Tallow Beauty Products?

Lipidology sources the highest quality natural ingredients. In Canada, we are fortunate to have access key ingredients that are Canada Organic Certified, including coconut oil, olive oil and beer, which we combine with Ontario Approved Organic Raised beef tallow, to make tallow soap, and tallow shampoo.

Organic ingredients typically more expensive than non-organic, conventional alternatives because they tend to be more challenging to produce and harder to attain. Still, just as we value our customers, we know that they appreciate the extra attention that we pay to sourcing the best ingredients for natural skincare and haircare products.

Ingredients that are "Canada Organic Certified" have met the organic standards set by the Canadian government under the Canada Organic Regime.
