The research on the ingredients
Morning Glow is a cosmetic — its job is rich moisture and a bright, comforting feel. The ingredients it's built from, though, have been studied in their own right: tallow and plant oils in skin-barrier science, and citrus oils for their uplifting aroma. Here is what that literature reports.
2018: A peer-reviewed review described how topical plant oils — including olive and jojoba — support the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Lin, Zhong & Santiago, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 — review of the barrier-supporting and soothing properties of topical plant oils, covering the fatty-acid profiles behind ingredients like olive and jojoba oil.
Tallow and the skin: beef tallow is rich in the same fatty acids found in human skin (including palmitic and oleic acids), which is why it's long been valued as a skin-compatible moisturizer.
Research on the fatty-acid composition of tallow and human sebum — noting the close overlap in fatty-acid profiles that makes tallow a traditionally well-tolerated moisturizer for the skin.
Citrus aromas & mood: research on aromatherapy has associated citrus essential-oil scents, such as orange and bergamot, with uplifting, refreshing effects.

Nature's moisturizer, with a citrus lift
Long before lotions came in plastic bottles, people moisturized with tallow — and modern skin science explains why it worked: grass-fed beef tallow is rich in the very same fatty acids the skin produces itself, which makes it deeply nourishing and remarkably well-tolerated, even on delicate skin. This cream blends it with olive and jojoba oils for a rich, fast-absorbing moisture that softens the dry, rough patches other lotions leave behind.
Organic orange and bergamot lend a bright, uplifting scent that makes it a natural morning ritual — the daytime counterpart to a calming evening cream. It's for anyone who wants deep, honest moisture from a short, recognizable ingredient list, and a little citrus brightness to start the day.
