I am 64 and have been a life long sun worshipper. Of a fair complexion in latter years my skin was starting to show the toll of over exposure. The collagen subcutaneous support had become a cats cradle that allowed the skin to fall into the crevasses and fissures that time and sunlight wrought. Sadly no amount of night cream ameliorated the unwelcome ravages that greeted the morning mirror and a naturally light and bubbly disposition gave way to depression. Then I discovered Goose fat. Always a hearty eater I revelled in the scrumptious taste of roast potatoes sauteed in lashings of goose fat. Vegetable soups so dense that you could stand a spoon on end took on a wonderful additional flavour with a dessert spoon of goose fat as an ingredient. Soon my crumpled skin looked smoother and healthier so much so that I decided to rub some on my face as an emollient. To my delight it seemed to improve the texture to a marked degree and whilst you couldn't describe me as rejuvanated I am back to my old bubbly self - not so much a spring chicken as a grateful old girl to the goose.

It is made up of 47% linoleic acid from soybean oil, vitimin A, vitimin D, and Vitimin E. It also contains lecithin. I already use lecithin in my homemade diet. It sounds like olive oil would be a better choice. What do you think? Thank you in advance for the response. Neva Hi Brad,
