Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished Tallow: Our Star Ingredient

🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄

Tallow has been used for centuries for dry skin, rashes, chapping, and barrier repair — and modern research is beginning to affirm why.

Naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, K
Non-irritating and ideal for sensitive skin
Helps reduce dryness, flaking, and rough texture

Jojoba Oil & Plant Oils: Lightweight, Balancing Hydration

Jojoba oil is almost identical to human sebum, which makes it excellent for balancing hydration without feeling heavy.

Benefits

Softens dry skin
Absorbs quickly
Helps balance natural oil production
Reduces greasiness when blended with thicker butters

Why we use it:

It creates a smooth, easy-to-spread texture in our body butter, foot balms, and muscle rubs.

Raw, Unfiltered Honey: A Natural Humectant & Skin Soother

Benefits
