The full story

Two specialists, one box

Velvet Face Renewal holds the line's premium seat: bakuchiol at a true 1%, flanked by oil-soluble vitamin C, organic rosehip CO2 and CoQ10, renewal you can see in the mirror, in oil, without retinol's dryness or sun sensitivity. Nature's answer to retinol, morning and evening, for the places you notice first: face, neck, chest and the backs of hands. Choose the Frankincense Edition or the Bulgarian Rose Edition.

Recovery Balm carries the richest botanical stack in the line: organic helichrysum, virgin tamanu, sea buckthorn and rosehip CO2 in a dense, slow-melting balm that stays where you press it. It takes the long jobs: the look of scars and stretch marks, old and new, and skin finding its way back. Both recipes are retinoid-free, with fully published labels. During pregnancy, start with Bare Silk Unscented. Recovery's full label is on its page. One jar for what shows first, one for what stays longest.

Questions, answered

What is in the Premium Pair?

Two 2 oz jars: Velvet Face Renewal (a true 1% bakuchiol with oil-soluble vitamin C and CoQ10 in grass-fed suet tallow, retinol-free) and Recovery Balm (helichrysum, rosehip CO2, sea buckthorn and tamanu). $163 for both, Velvet at $89 and Recovery at $74.

Who is the pair for?

Anyone working on two jobs at once: the look of fine lines on the face, and the look of scars or stretch marks on the body. Velvet stays on the face and neck. Recovery goes on marks, heels, knuckles and working hands. Velvet is the one jar we keep for adults.

Can I use both in one ritual?

Yes. Velvet goes on morning and night on damp skin, with SPF after the morning coat. Recovery goes on once or twice a day wherever skin is asking for more than moisture. They do not overlap, so there is nothing to sequence.

Does the pair qualify for the free jar?

On subscription, yes: a two-jar subscription carries a free 2 oz Bare Silk Unscented in its first delivery, one per order, and subscribers take 25% off that first box and 10% off every renewal. Subscribers always ship free.

Per oz is price divided by net weight. Subscriber per oz is the same arithmetic on the brand's own printed or plan subscription price; ours is 10% off renewals and 25% off the first delivery.

Before you buy

Beef fat on my face?

Does it smell like beef?

Suet rendered gently has almost none. Bare Silk is unscented. The other four smell of their botanicals.

Is it greasy?

A pea-sized amount on damp skin finishes matte. Greasy means you used too much.

Will it clog my pores?

Tallow scores low to moderate on comedogenic scales. Patch test if you are blemish-prone.

Is the dose real?

“With bakuchiol” on a label can mean a trace. Velvet’s is a true 1%, stated on the page, twice the dose in the published trial.

I use Velvet every night. I’ve noticed my fine lines getting smaller and my skin is more firm. I’ve been using it for 3 weeks now and it has worked better than the retinol product I used before. The recovery balm has been wonderful on my dry elbows and hands. Seems to eliminate any dryness after the first time.

From our kitchen counter to yours.

We blend in small batches in the Mountain West on a base of 100% Montana suet, and we check each jar before it ships from our home in Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
