We love using leaf lard in our skincare products for its unique properties and nourishing benefits. Iberian pigs, the source of our leaf lard, are an ancient, semi-wild breed that cannot be industrialized, and they are raised in natural, forested areas where they can forage on their preferred diet of acorns. This natural lifestyle of foraging on acorns and living in a forested environment, results in a vitamin D-rich, purer and lower PUFA content in the oil, making it a safe and stable choice in Kossma products. Iberian leaf lard is a nutritious and lush oil that can be used to moisturize and nourish the skin.
Light, Silky, and Easily Absorbed
Compared to other types of fat, leaf lard is incredibly light and silky on the skin, containing linoleic acid that moisturizes the skin without the risk of oxidation. Additionally, leaf lard has a similar cellular make-up and pH as our skin, making it gentle and easily absorbed. It promotes collagen production, resulting in improved elasticity, evens out skin tone, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and firms and tones the skin. The leaf lard's high absorbency and acid content also help to heal cuts, burns, acne scars, bruises, and promote hair and nail growth.
