FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ - Clarifying Cream

Seed oils are bad. Why are you using "seed oil"?

Most commonly crucified seed oils today (canola AKA rapeseed, sunflower, soy, corn) are highly processed, bleached and deodorized with chemicals. This processing adds harmful chemicals to the oil itself making it unsuitable for human use.

These oils can have an unbalanced Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio and are generally high in PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) making them unsuitable for use in food and highly susceptible to oxidation when heated (aka cooking).

Black seed oil is an ancient oil. It's minimally processed by cold-pressing it (similar to olive oil) which preserves all the beneficial compounds in the oil such as thymoquinone and doesn't add any harmful chemicals in the process.

Extracted the way our ancestors did it thousands of years ago.

Can I use Clarifying Cream in the morning?

Yes, our Clarifying Cream is perfect to be used in the morning as a standalone product, as part of your skincare routine or under makeup. Can also be used in the evening instead of night cream as a last step in a skincare routine.

Can I use Clarifying Cream with other acne treatments?

Yes, our clarifying cream can be used in combination with other acne treatments or skincare products.

Will Clarifying Cream improve my acne?

Black seed's main active compound Thymoquinone has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties so it has positive effects on acne. Combined with raw honey, beef tallow and essential oils that have proven track of calming breakouts and cleaning up the pores, the Clarifying Cream should be beneficial for anyone with acne-prone skin.

Bear in mind that sometimes the main cause of acne can be more complex and we always recommend cleaning up your diet, nutrition, check hormones etc to find the root cause for acne breakouts.

Is Clarifying Cream only for oily skin?

No, Clarifying Cream is perfect for all skin types including dry and normal skin types. This is because of our mix of ingredients such as tallow which is used as a moisturiser for dry skin and black seed oil and jojoba which are both excellent in hydrating the skin.

Can I use Clarifying Ceam if I have dry skin?

Yes, clarifying cream is perfect for all skin types including dry and normal skin. It will provide intense moisturisation while being light and non-greasy on the skin.

Why do you use black seed oil in your cream?

Black seed oil is an ancient oil used in skincare for thousands of years. Thanks to its main active compound thymoquinone, it is an extremely potent antioxidant and offers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties while being completely safe and natural.

Are there any essential oils in this cream?

Yes, we use 100% pure organic essential oils of Clary Sage, Chamomile and Rose Geranium. The concentration of the essential oils is very low but just enough for them to provide their therapeutic and beneficial effects on acne-prone skin and oily skin especially.

Is Clarifying Cream made from beef tallow?

Yes, our clarifying cream is made from only the purest 100% grass-fed Irish beef tallow, the same one we use in our Original Tallow & Honey Balm and our other products.

What's the difference between Clarifying Cream and the Original Balm?

The Original Tallow & Honey Balm is an all-purpose tallow-based balm. It is a rich moisturiser suitable for anyone and all parts of the body. It's truly the main multitasker.

Our Clarifying cream is made with beef tallow too but it’s specifically formulated to be used on the face, especially on oily or acne-prone skin.

Clarifying Cream is lighter and thinner in structure, less greasy on the skin and formulated with strong, potent ingredients like black seed extract, black seed oil, raw honey and therapeutic essential oils blends.

Is this cream a whipped tallow balm version?

Our Clarifying Cream has a smooth, soft and thin texture but it is not a version of whipped tallow balm. Whipped tallow balm is usually just tallow and a touch of other oils whipped to get a soft texture. This is a carefully formulated tallow cream with high-performance ingredients to get the best benefits to the skin.

Amazing Products!

I recently purchased the Clarifying Set and I couldn't be happier! I have very dry skin and Psoriasis and nothing was helping relieve my symptoms. I tried 2 other tallow based products before I found Ancestral Cosmetics and they didn't really help. Within days of using the Clarifying Set, my skin was cleared up, rashes gone and pain relieved. My skin is glowing and has stayed hydrated. I love these products and am SO thankful that I found Ancestral Cosmetics!

We use to use 6 or more products a day, now we only use Ancestral products! We highly recommend this company and their amazing products. Customers for life! The Nedzel family

hopeful it will help my adult acne

I have been using this for three weeks. I love the cleansing tallow rub! Sadly, I haven't noticed a significant reduction in my adult acne, but I have hope that, over time, combined with all the good food I'm eating, it will help. I do love that I am not using a true soap that scrubs my skin away.
