💛 A Note for Moms & Little Ones
If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or using skincare on young children, we recommend the Unscented version. While our scented creams use only pure essential oils and botanical extracts, unscented is the most neutral and gentle option during these special times.

Every jar is handmade in small batches, so you may notice slight variations in texture, scent, or appearance. That’s the beauty of real ingredients. Each one is made with care for fresh, quality skincare every time.

Who It's For

Made for anyone who wants simple, effective skincare without a long list of ingredients.

Perfect if you want:
- One moisturizer the whole family can use, from adults to little ones
- Gentle care for dry, sensitive, or easily irritated skin
- Skincare made with high-quality, minimal ingredients you can feel good about

How to Use

Moisturization Types: Beef tallow is a natural occlusive, meaning it forms a protective seal over the skin to prevent water loss. Jojoba oil is an emollient, which softens and smooths the skin by filling in the tiny gaps between skin cells. Together, they nourish and soften the skin while reinforcing its natural barrier and preventing moisture loss.

For Body Use: Apply to damp skin right after a shower or bath while your skin is still slightly wet. The cream will seal in that surface moisture, leaving skin soft and nourished without feeling greasy. A little goes a long way. Add more as needed for extra dry areas.

For Face Use: Depending on your skin type, you may want to layer this cream as the final step of your routine.

Dry or dehydrated skin: Start with the cream on its own. If your skin still feels tight or dry, try adding a humectant underneath - such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or aloe vera gel - to draw water into the skin before applying this cream. For maximum nourishment, apply after our daily face oil which helps with brightening, antioxidant protection and healing.

Normal or combination skin: You can use this cream on its own to nourish and protect, or layer it over our daily face oil for added benefits. Apply to damp skin and adjust based on how your skin responds.

Oily or acne-prone skin: Start with just a small amount of cream on its own and patch test before layering. Try applying to lightly damp skin and adjust based on how your skin responds.

Allow each product to absorb for 30-60 seconds before applying the next layer. This gives each one time to settle into the skin rather than sitting on top of or diluting the one before it

External use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Patch test recommended, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
