My son has very dry skin, I've tried so many lotions and NOTHING has worked. Everything else will either leave his skin irritated or it simply doesn't hydrate. THIS ACTUALLY HYDRATES his skin, leaving it soft and beautiful! Also - we had brought tallow on our recent trip, after a full day in the sun my kids were very red...they lathered themselves in tallow before bed, and I couldn't believe my eyes in the morning...ALL THE REDNESS was gone, like gone gone. Wow! I was so glad we had this on hand. Not only does it hydrate beautifully, it also helps with sun burns!! STOCK UP ON THIS, you'll thank me later.
