Primal Shift Podcast 57: Unlocking the Secrets of Lard for Skincare with Charles Mayfield

What if I told you that lard could be the next big thing in skincare? Charles Mayfield, the founder of Farrow Skincare and a veteran in regenerative farming, says that because lard is so similar to human sebum (one of the skin’s natural oils), it can be an incredibly effective moisturizer that the skin readily absorbs, providing deep nourishment without exposing yourself to the harsh and dangerous chemicals typically found in commercial skincare products.

In this episode, he joins us to talk about how he discovered lard’s surprising benefits, as well as his journey from conceptualizing Farrow to launching it, highlighting the meticulous R&D process and the challenges of maintaining product integrity.

We also discuss the stark differences between industrially raised pork and pork from pastured pigs, emphasizing the health implications of each. The conversation explores the historical context of pig farming and how modern practices have drifted from traditional methods that prioritized animal welfare and environmental sustainability.

Join us as we unpack the fascinating world of pigs, pork, and lard, and discover why lard-based skincare might just revolutionize your health routine. Whether you’re curious about the best ways to source high-quality pork or are looking to upgrade your skincare regimen, this episode has something for you.
