Untamed Tallow Bee-Free Skin Moisturizing Tallow Balm

Grass-fed, grass-finished tallow is a non-comedogenic, nutrient-dense moisturizer that is extraordinarily compatible with our skin due to its chemical similarity to skin's natural oils (aka sebum). Tallow won't clog pores or compete for space thanks to its biocompatible fatty acid composition. Tallow contains vitamins A, D, E, & K, and high concentrations of oleic, palmitic, stearic, and conjugated linoleic acids. These fatty acids have moisturizing, hydrating, anti-aging, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Our moisturizing balm uses only Golden Jojoba oil, which is cold pressed and unrefined to preserve the chemical compounds that give this popular skincare ingredient its exceptional properties. As a noncomedogenic humectant, emollient, and occlusive, Jojoba oil is a moisturizing marvel for all types of skin – it not only hydrates the skin, but balances, repairs, and protects without clogging the pores. The chemical makeup of Jojoba oil is remarkably similar to sebum, the oil your skin naturally produces, which allows the body to readily make use of it. The body uses Jojoba oil to increase or decrease sebum production, increase collagen synthesis, replenish ceramides, and restore the skin’s natural barriers. Jojoba oil is safe for all skin types and contains even more beneficial compounds like antimicrobial iodine, anti-inflammatory vitamin E, and antioxidant vitamin B complex.

Calendula oil is extracted from the petals of marigold flowers (Calendula officinalis), which are not to be confused with garden marigolds (Marigold Tagetes). This oil has demonstrated antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties thanks to powerful flavonoids, polyphenols, and triterpenoids, most notably faradol. These qualities make Calendula highly desirable for treating anything from burns, bruises, and cuts, to eczema, rosacea, or psoriasis. Calendula has analgesic properties on par with topical NSAIDs like trolamine, and proven benefits to wound recovery time, redness, swelling, and bruising. Additionally, Calendula helps eliminate oxidative stress, increase collagen production, reduce appearance of scars, and repair photo-damage.

Our Rosehip Oil is cold-pressed and unrefined to conserve the natural compounds that impart its remarkable properties. Serving as a potent source of hydration, nourishment, and repair, Rosehip oil works wonders for extra dry, chapped skin.

Rich in essential fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic acids, Rosehip oil absorbs easily, imparting a velvety texture and protecting lips from drying or cracking.

Rosehip oil is known for its astounding ability to promote collagen synthesis and accelerate skin cell turnover, which keeps the skin healthy, soft, and supple. Its high content of beta-carotene and lycopene, alongside other carotenoids, gives it notable antioxidative properties, helping neutralize harmful free radicals and protect the skin from aging and drying.

Olive Squalane is a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer derived from olives and it is a highly stable form of squalene (a lipid naturally found in human sebum). Because it closely resembles the skin’s own protective oils, Olive Squalane absorbs readily without leaving a greasy residue, helping to replenish moisture while supporting the skin’s natural barrier. Its exceptional biocompatibility makes it suitable for virtually all skin types, including sensitive, dry, mature, and blemish-prone skin.

As an emollient, Olive Squalane softens and smooths the skin while reducing transepidermal water loss, helping skin stay hydrated longer. Unlike many heavier oils, it provides lasting moisture without clogging pores or creating an overly occlusive feel. Olive Squalane is also naturally resistant to oxidation, giving it excellent shelf stability while helping defend the skin against environmental stressors and free radical damage.

Combining Squalane, Jojoba, and Tallow makes for an ultra-skin compatible moisturizer for face and body that closely mimics our skin's natural oils.

Elderberries are rich in a variety of phytonutrients that exhibit both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, such as caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, and quercetin.

Antioxidants, like those found in elderberries, are excellent additions to skin care regimens as they provide protection from free radicals that contribute to cell damage, aging, and wrinkle formation. Bioflavoinoids, which can also be found in elderberries, exhibit astringent properties that help tighten the skin and provide additional anti-wrinkle benefits. This unique superfruit is also an excellent source of undecylenic acid, an organic fatty acid that provides broad antimicrobial benefits, but is especially effective against fungal microorganisms.
