Minimal by design. Endlessly useful.

  • Four quiet ingredients, plus nothing. Grass-fed suet tallow, meadowfoam, organic jojoba, vitamin E · finished with organic arrowroot and rosemary.
  • Built for the most reactive skin in the house. No fragrance, no honey, nothing reactive in the original.
  • Two versions. Fragrance-Free, and a Lavender edition with a whisper of organic Bulgarian lavender for the bedtime ritual.

The quietest balm we make

Regeneratively farmed, grass-finished suet tallow, blended with meadowfoam and organic cold-pressed jojoba into a silk-soft balm. The original is built by subtraction: no essential oils, no fragrance, no honey, nothing reactive. What we left out is exactly what makes it right for pregnancy bellies, brand-new skin, and anyone whose skin argues with everything else.

Tallow does the deep work. Its fatty acids closely resemble your skin's own, so it absorbs like something your body recognizes, calming dryness on contact and carrying the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K of pasture-raised fat.

If you buy one jar first, buy this one. Bare Silk is the foundation of the collection · the everyday balm for face, hands and body · nourishing without being overly complex, and the natural entry point to everything else we make.

Is this your jar?

What it does: deep, simple moisture · softens, cushions and comforts the skin barrier, easing dryness, tightness and rough patches.

Best for: ultra-sensitive, reactive and allergy-prone skin · pregnancy and baby skin (choose Fragrance-Free) · eczema-prone seasons · anyone starting with tallow.

When: morning or night, face and body, as often as skin asks.

Together: tallow restores softness, meadowfoam seals it in for hours, jojoba balances, vitamin E and rosemary defend: quiet ingredients, one gentle job.

The feel

Dense and silk-smooth out of the jar, it melts at skin temperature and sinks in fast, settling to a powder-soft, matte-velvet finish. The original has no scent at all. The Lavender edition carries a soft, true lavender that fades as it absorbs.

Prefer to blend it yourself?

Bare Silk began as a kit recipe. The Craft Tallow Kit makes this balm and the four others in our line, fresh at your counter, from $69. Meet the kit.

    FAQs

    Are your products organic / natural?

    Our products combine the power of naturally occurring and advanced science ingredients that are simple to use, highly effective, non-toxic, non-irritating, and absolutely cruelty-free. We do not use aggressive, irritating ingredients. Beyond this, we do not like labels such as ‘organic,’ ‘natural’ or ‘clean,’ which have no consistent definition and tell you nothing about a product’s safety or efficacy. We are committed to bringing you the very best ingredient science and being certified “organic” does not always yield the best ingredient.

    Do your products contain fragrance?

    Generally not, but with limited exceptions. “Fragrance,” when used in our products like the ANTI-AGING BODY CREAM, is selected for its pleasant scent but also for its proven tolerability. Most fragrances contain allergic substances, or “allergens”: if present, it is compulsory to state this on the label, even if the percentage contained is minimal. Where possible, we tend to use fragrances which do not contain allergens and which should therefore give rise to fewer problems. When fragrance is present in a our product, is indicated in the list of ingredients as PARFUM or FRAGRANCE.

    Is there talc in any of your products?

    The minerals that are used to produce talc can contain asbestos, which is why there are legitimate concerns about its potential effect on our health. The talc used in our ENZYME CLEANSER, BABY BUM CREAM and tinted CLARIFYING SPOT TREATMENTS is NOT made of minerals that contain asbestos and thus is not carcinogenic and completely safe. The talc we use is periodically and consistently reviewed by independent laboratories.

    What is the shelf life of my product?

    All beauty products need to be used by a certain period. This is known as the 'period after opening' and can be easily identified by the PAO symbol. The symbol can be recognised as the shape of an opened jar, and will have a number inside; 9M will indicate 9 months, 12M is 12 months, and 36M is 36 months. Once opened the product should be used in this period, as after this time the quality of the product will deteriorate.
