Away from the frontlines of World War II, in towns and villages across Great Britain, ordinary women were playing a vital role in their country’s war effort. As members of the Women’s Institute, an organization with a presence in a third of Britain’s villages, they ran canteens and knitted garments for troops, collected tons of rosehips and other herbs to replace medicines that couldn’t be imported, and advised the government on issues ranging from evacuee housing to children’s health to postwar reconstruction. But they are best known for making jam: from produce they grew on every available scrap of land, they produced twelve million pounds of jam and preserves to feed a hungry nation.
 
Home Fires, Julie Summers’s fascinating social history of the Women’s Institute during the war (when its members included the future Queen Elizabeth II along with her mother and grandmother), provides the remarkable and inspiring true story behind the upcoming PBS Masterpiece series that will be sure to delight fans of Call the Midwife and Foyle’s War. Through archival material and interviews with current and former Women’s Institute members, Home Fires gives us an intimate look at life on the home front during World War II.

Perfect moisturizer
Scent: Unscented, Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This stuff is good. It doesn't have a smell at all, so it's not irritating at all. it feels so good and a little does go a long ways. it's such a good price for a good amount compared to others that is half the size and twice the price. Simple very good ingredients. Love love love. A must have.

THIS IS A MIRACLE PRODUCT!!!
I had a really bad reaction from Sunbum , which is apparently not a rare phenomenon. My lips swelled and blistered and were so painful I could hardly talk. Everything I tried just stung so I was desperately looking for something natural to help cure them quickly. Castor oil helped soothe them but it was very temporary and topical and I had to reapply every 5 minutes it seemed like. This actually soothed and repaired them almost immediately. I felt such relief, I can't say enough about how happy I was to find this product. It was same-day delivery which was part of the miracle. I was in pain for days so it's nice to finally smile again and tell you this was a life saver! THANK YOU!!!

Great product, poor shipping
This product is great EXCEPT it arrived having melted into the cap and has a grainy texture (photo). I opted to send it back and received my replacement today. Unfortunately, it arrived in the exact same condition. The product has melted into the cap and texture is grainy. I will keep both as the product is great but I won't be reordering until they can figure out how to ship their lip balms without it melting. I've ordered other tallow lip balms and they didn't melt during shipping.

No more split lips!!
Living in New England means dealing with really dry winters. Consequently, good hand lotion and lip balm makes a tremendous difference. Whereas Chapstick and many other common brands contain alcohols which can perpetuate problems, this Beef Tallow lip balm is the best I’ve found at preventing split lips.
