It’s a promise. We won’t compromise by adding water to stretch the product. We won’t compromise by using synthetic fragrance to cover up cheap oils. We won’t compromise by using plastic packaging if we can help it. If an ingredient isn’t nourishing, regenerative, or absolutely necessary, it doesn’t make it into the pot. We believe skincare should be simple, edible (not that we recommend eating it, but you could), and effective. That’s the compromise we refuse to make.

At the drugstore, you’re paying for water, plastic packaging, synthetic preservatives, and a massive marketing budget. Here, you’re paying for ethically raised tallow, raw beeswax, high-pressure cold-processed oils, and a small batch maker who actually knows how to spell the ingredients. We also don’t dilute our products. You use a dime-sized amount here versus a palmful of the drugstore stuff, so ounce-for-ounce, we’re actually cheaper—and your skin knows the difference.

Usually, it’s the opposite. Because our ingredient lists are short, water-free, and free from synthetic fragrances and preservatives, we are often the “last resort” brand for people with eczema or psoriasis. Tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are vital for skin repair. However, everyone is different. If you are allergic to bee products, skip the beeswax items. If you aren’t sure, try the unscented tallow balm first.

Ewww! NO! We test on willing humans. Specifically, ourselves, our families, and occasionally a skeptical spouse who swore they’d never use “boutique soap.” We never test on animals. In fact, we use high-quality animal by-products (like tallow and beeswax) specifically to honor the animal by using every part, ensuring no waste—which is a lot more than the industrial beauty industry can say.

We’re transparent about the fact that real food (which this is, essentially) doesn’t last forever. Because we use high-quality, stable fats (tallow) and natural antioxidants and we seal bottles immediately after pouring, our products typically last 12-18 months. You’ll know it’s time to retire it if the scent changes—but considering how rich this is, you’ll likely use it up long before then. Store it in a cool, dark place; avoid leaving it in a hot car (RIP to that bar of soap).

Absolutely. If it’s safe enough for a newborn’s delicate barrier (no weird chemicals or fragrances in our unscented line), it’s safe enough for the man who still uses bar soap on his face. Because we avoid water and synthetics, the ingredient list is short enough to read in one breath. It’s the ultimate “tough guy” moisturizer—no glitter, no fluff, just skin food.

You did it right—you just aren’t used to real moisture yet. Synthetic lotions use alcohols and silicones to create a “dry touch” illusion that evaporates instantly, leaving you functionally still dry. Our products require a pea-sized amount (literally, a little goes a long way). Warm it between your fingers to melt the beeswax and tallow, and press it into damp skin. It absorbs in about 60 seconds and keeps working for hours. Trust the process.

Because water is a party place for bacteria, which forces us to use synthetic preservatives or alcohol to keep it stable. We chose the “anhydrous” route—no water, ever. By using only butters, oils, tallow, and wax, we create products that are ultra-concentrated, shelf-stable, and preservative-free. You aren’t paying for water weight, and you aren’t rubbing chemical stabilizers into your skin. Just the good stuff.

This is the rumor that won’t die. Beeswax is non-comedogenic, meaning it doesn’t clog pores. What it does do is create a breathable, protective barrier against environmental junk (wind, pollution, dry office air) without suffocating your skin. It locks in the good stuff (like tallow and oils) while letting your skin function like skin. It’s a bouncer, not a plastic wrap.

We prefer to call it "nature’s original moisturizer." Tallow is rendered beef fat, yes—but it’s also the animal fat that most closely mimics the structure of our own skin’s sebum. Unlike mineral oil (a petroleum byproduct) that just sits on top, tallow actually communicates with your skin barrier to hydrate, repair, and balance. Plus, we source ours from pasture-raised animals to ensure it’s as clean as it is effective. Think of it as lipid-based compatibility.

We always recommend a patch test first, and foremost. After 24 if no reaction adopt the rule "less is more". Tallow is thick and rich, a little goes a long way. No need to slather on a thick layer!

They tend to be high in Lalic acid, which causes oxidative stress in the body or on tissue. A.k.a. it causes inflammation and tissue damage.

Variation in diet is responsible for the colour of Tallow. Grass fed cows tend to eat hay in the winter months which tends to make the taller colour more yellow. In the spring and summer months, they tend to eat more fresh vegetation, which contains higher quantities a beta carotene. If they are eating flowering plants such as clover, this will contribute to even higher beta carotene levels being stored in their fat. That fat soluble beta carotene is what gives some batches a more yellow coloring.

Grass fed beef tallow has a very similar composition to wax, it hardens and then melts at body temperature. If you find yourself with a batch that has a slight grit to it, hold it in your cupped hands for about 30 seconds.

It will smell beyond bad! Think spoiled milk that has been left in a hot car on the warmest day of the year kinda bad. Properly rendered tallow at room temperature is shelf stable for about a year. If you keep it in the fridge much longer and in the freezer up to about five years! However, that being said if it is exposed to oxygen for a lot prolonged period of time or high temperatures on a constant basis, this will cause it to spoil quickly.

Absolutely! Is somebody who suffers with celiac? You can trust that there will be zero possibility of cross-contamination.

Sometimes during the pouring process as the Mica’s cool, they form clusters as they are attracted to one another, this causes them to form beautiful cells or darker spots.
