FAQ

Our products are crafted for simple, everyday rituals, where ancestral skincare meets modern luxury. The Restoration Balm works beautifully as a daily moisturizer or overnight repair treatment thanks to its rich tallow base and nourishing oils. The Tallow Sunscreen Cream is designed for daily use with zinc oxide protection. Apply generously 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply after swimming or sweating. Both formulas are nutrient-dense, which means they may feel rich at first but absorb fully within a few minutes.

Unlike many traditional tallow balms, our formula is crafted to absorb beautifully into the skin. Because it is rich in nutrients, you will feel a nourishing, emollient layer when you first apply it, but within a few minutes it absorbs fully - leaving your skin soft, hydrated, and protected without a heavy or greasy residue.

The Restoration Balm is infused with therapeutic levels of lavender, frankincense, and sweet orange essential oils, giving it a bold, spa-inspired aroma when first applied. The scent naturally softens as it absorbs. The Tallow Sunscreen Cream is unscented and ideal for those who prefer fragrance-free skincare.

Yes. Tallow closely mimics the skin's natural lipids, making it gentle for sensitive and acne-prone skin. It helps calm inflammation and restore the barrier without clogging pores. The Restoration Balm contains naturally occurring compounds like limonene and linalool from essential oils, which can be allergens for some individuals. If you have fragrance sensitivities, we recommend a patch test.

We combine grass-fed tallow with clinically supported botanicals like jojoba esters, castor oil, and propolis for a synergistic, barrier-supportive effect. Every ingredient has a purpose, and every formula is crafted in GMP facilities for quality and integrity.

Absolutely. Tallow provides a breathable, hydrating base. Many women use our Tallow Sunscreen Cream as a primer to help makeup glide smoothly.

No. Tallow is naturally low comedogenic and closely matches the skin's own sebum structure, which helps balance oil production rather than clog pores. Combined with barrier-supportive botanicals like jojoba and propolis, our formulas are designed to be breathable, non-pore-clogging, and well tolerated by most skin types.

Tallow is a nutrient-rich, ancestral skincare ingredient made from purified, rendered beef fat, often from suet, the dense fat surrounding the kidneys. Suet-based tallow is naturally higher in vitamins A, D, E, and K and produces an ultra-smooth, stable, skin-compatible ingredient that deeply nourishes and supports the skin barrier.

Tallow is bio-identical to the oils your skin naturally produces. It absorbs easily, supports the skin barrier, calms inflammation, and provides essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. It is especially beneficial for dry, sensitive, and mature skin.

Castor oil is one of the most nourishing, skin-repairing oils available. We use hexane-free castor oil, which maintains its purity and full nutrient profile. Castor oil contains a unique fatty acid composition rich in ricinoleic acid, which helps calm inflammation, restore hydration, and support collagen production. In our formula, it works with tallow to improve absorption, enhance elasticity, smooth fine lines, and leave the skin feeling deeply moisturized without heaviness. It also boosts glide and helps the balm melt seamlessly into the skin for a velvety finish.

Yes. Our Restoration Balm uses premium, cosmetic-grade tallow sourced from fully grass-fed and grass-finished cattle, resulting in a cleaner, more nutrient-dense ingredient.

Our Tallow Sunscreen Cream also uses grass-fed tallow, but it is not grass-finished. Both formulas use high-quality tallow for safety, stability, and excellent skin compatibility.

Our sunscreen uses zinc oxide, a mineral UV filter that protects the skin from both UVA and UVB exposure. The base of the formula is made with clean, skin-supportive oils and butters.

Mineral sunscreen uses zinc oxide to reflect UV rays instead of absorbing them like chemical filters. It is gentler on sensitive skin and provides reliable protection without chemical UV filters.

Yes. Our products are formulated with high-quality, skin-compatible ingredients chosen for their specific benefits. We avoid parabens, silicones, and unnecessary fillers.
