Collection: Symre

Here is what Symre writes about herself:

"Symre skin cream is made by two sisters on a beautiful farm in Western Norway – a pact with nature and the ecosystem. We have grass-fed cattle of the local and conservation-worthy old breed Vestlandsk fjordfe, and the farm is run according to organic and regenerative principles. This means that we do not use pesticides and that we actively work to preserve ecosystems and a rich soil life.

We work in harmony with the seasons and based on what the farm has to offer. In line with our philosophy of using the whole animal from head to tail, we make skin cream from tallow. Our animals roam freely outdoors on pasture and woodland grazing for much of the year. Indoors, they roam freely in free-range conditions and have access to an airing yard. Calves and mothers can stay together. We want to run a forward-looking farm in harmony with the climate and environment.

Making skincare from tallow is a tradition that goes back many hundreds of years. It is a forgotten treasure in our time – a resource we must preserve!

Tallow from grass-fed cattle has a fatty acid profile very similar to that of the skin. It contains the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, K, and E. In short, tallow contains everything our skin needs.

In addition to tallow, our skin creams contain only 2–3 other ingredients. You don't need more than that, and this makes it easy to know what you are applying to your skin. We harvest plants such as lily of the valley, red clover, dandelion, plantain, and mint from the fields and woodlands. In addition to carefully selected, high-quality organic oils.

All our skin creams are handmade by us, and they are certified through the Norwegian Made brand scheme. When you buy a product marked with Norwegian Made, you are supporting sustainable, green, and ethical production. You are buying something that is made to last, made with love.

Our skin creams are also registered under Norwegian law and have approved safety reports. This way, you can be completely confident in what you buy.

As our customer, you support forward-looking agriculture based on good animal welfare and for the benefit of the environment and climate. You support the production of handmade, honest, and local goods and female small-scale producers."
