About this episode

Charles Mayfield discusses the benefits of lard in skincare and challenges the wellness industry's focus on beef tallow.

We've all been sleeping on LARD?! The wellness world is obsessed with beef tallow — but Charles Mayfield, regenerative farmer and founder of Farrow Skincare, says we've completely ignored the one animal humans have relied on most for centuries: the pig. After a severe sunburn flipped his entire worldview, Charles became obsessed with the question hardly anyone in the MAHA movement wants to touch — if we care so much about what goes in our bodies, why are we ignoring everything we absorb onto our skin every single day?
