Collection: Balms

Five balms, five jobs. Not five variations of one jar: each recipe in this collection was built for a different moment in the day and a different thing skin asks for, all on the same base of regeneratively farmed, grass-finished suet tallow.

How to choose. Start with what your skin is asking for. If the answer is "everything, gently," start with Bare Silk: the unscented, essential-oil-free foundation of the line, built for pregnancy, babies, and ultra-sensitive or allergy-prone skin, and the natural first jar for anyone. If skin runs dry, tight, or dull, Honey Glow Balm folds manuka honey through tallow with oat oil and squalane, restocking the lipids a stressed barrier is built from. If your face flushes easily, Moonlight Calm is the evening ritual for redness-prone and reactive skin: true Moroccan blue tansy and blue chamomile, the sapphire color coming from the chemistry itself, never a dye. For the look of fine lines and uneven tone, Velvet Face Renewal carries a true 1% bakuchiol with 3% vitamin C and rosehip CO2: clinical-strength renewal in oil, without retinol's dryness or sun sensitivity. And for the look of scars, stretch marks and hard-working patches, Recovery Balm brings the richest botanical stack in the line: helichrysum, rosehip, sea buckthorn and tamanu, in a dense balm kind to eczema-prone skin.

Filter by concern using the chips above: Everyday · Barrier · Redness · Renewal · Recovery.

Every jar shares the same spine: grass-fed suet tallow whose fatty acids closely resemble your skin's own, whole botanicals disclosed at their studied doses, no water and no synthetic preservatives because a waterless balm needs none.
