McDairy Homemade Ghee is a dairy fat made from pasteurised cream and salt, used in cooking and simple DIY body care. In the kitchen, it is commonly used for frying, roasting, sautéing and adding rich buttery flavour to everyday meals. In cosmetic-style use, ghee is traditionally used in simple skin and hair routines where a richer, more emollient texture is preferred. This is a homemade-style ghee product rather than a standard table butter or formulated cosmetic product.

♡ Why we love it: This is an old-school staple that feels equally at home in the kitchen and in simple, ingredient-led self-care. The rich, buttery character makes it useful for cooking, while its dense feel also suits uncomplicated topical use.
