Holistic Skincare: A Natural Way to Nourish Your Body and Mind

What Holistic Skincare Really Means

Holistic skincare isn’t just another trend—it's about taking a step back and looking at how everything we do impacts our overall well-being. It’s about treating our skin as more than just a barrier to the outside world, but as a part of our whole self. When we talk about holistic skincare, we're talking about using natural, wholesome ingredients that work with our body rather than against it.

Why You Might Want to Consider Holistic Skincare

Think about it—so many products out there are packed with chemicals that might give you quick results but at what cost? Holistic skincare, on the other hand, is all about slowing down and using ingredients that have been trusted for generations. It’s skincare that doesn’t just focus on the outside but nourishes you from within.

The Magic of Natural Aromatherapy in Your Skincare Routine

One of the beautiful aspects of holistic skincare is the use of essential oils. These aren’t just for making your products smell nice—they’re the real deal when it comes to supporting your overall health.

• Sweet Orange Oil: This isn’t just a sunny scent; it’s known for helping to lift your mood and ease stress. Plus, it can give your skin a lovely glow. We love to use sweet orange oil in our products. Discover for example our Tallow Butter Sweet Orange.

• Cedarwood Oil: If you’re looking for something grounding, cedarwood is your friend. It’s great for balancing out your skin’s natural oils and leaving you feeling calm.

• Frankincense Oil: Often referred to as the king of oils, frankincense is revered for its ability to rejuvenate the skin and promote relaxation.
  Products that contain Frankincense in our range are: Tallow Essential Body Butter and Magnesium+Salt Foaming Bath Relax

These essential oils don’t just pamper your skin; they work on a deeper level to support your mental and emotional well-being, too. That’s the beauty of holistic skincare—it’s not just skin deep.

Why We Love Tallow in Skincare

Let’s talk about tallow. This traditional ingredient might seem old-fashioned, but it’s making a comeback for a good reason. Tallow, rendered from grass-fed animals, is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K—vitamins our skin craves. It’s almost like it was designed just for us because it’s so similar to our skin’s natural oils.

My inspiration for using tallow comes from the Chechen ways of life in the mountains where I grew up. In my family, natural remedies were a cherished part of our daily life. We relied on these time-tested ingredients for their healing properties, and that deep respect for nature still guides me today. Using tallow isn’t just about finding a natural moisturizer that works—it’s about connecting with a tradition of using every part of the animal respectfully and sustainably.

Blending the Old with the New

At Nana Latta Skincare, we’re all about keeping those traditional practices alive, but we’re not afraid to mix in some modern natural innovations, too.

• Bakuchiol: Think of this as nature’s answer to retinol. It’s gentle but effective, helping to smooth out fine lines and improve skin elasticity without the irritation you might get from its synthetic counterparts.

• CO2 Extraction: This might sound fancy, but it’s just a way to get the purest, most potent ingredients from plants like chamomile. CO2 extraction ensures that we’re getting all the goodness that plants have to offer, making our products even more effective.

By combining these modern techniques with traditional ingredients, we’re creating something that’s both deeply rooted in the past and perfectly suited for the present.

How Holistic Skincare Fits Into the Bigger Picture

When you start looking at skincare as part of your overall health, everything changes. Your skin isn’t just a canvas to be painted—it’s a vital part of your body, reflecting what’s going on inside. Holistic skincare encourages us to think about how everything we put on our skin and in our bodies is connected. It’s about taking care of yourself in a way that’s sustainable, natural, and kind to both you and the planet.
