Rusty Dog Farm "RDF", named for the two Hungarian Vizsla's that roam the farm, is actually the name of our chicken farm. After raising chickens for a few years, we realized how awesome eggs are. They contain large amounts of protein, Vitamins A, D, E, K, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, and B12, numerous minerals and nearly every essential amino acid. The role of protein in the body is building and repairing tissue including skin, hair, and nails, so an ingredient with this amount of natural protein is the jackpot for hair and skin care products. We use the egg white, membrane lining the shell, and the shell because those parts contain collagen, biotin, retinol (Vit A), keratin, and calcium in it's most natural form. We are aware of potential bacteria from eggs, so all eggs are pasteurized before we use them in products. We allow our chickens to free range to increase their natural protein intake and we supplement their diet with nutrient dense, high quality feed. We collect eggs daily and by hand. We also pasteurize them in small groups to ensure each one safe to use. The shells are cleaned , toasted, and made into powder before being used in products.
