Vanilla Bean–Infused Tallow Balm

with Frankincense Resin & Jojoba Oil

This balm was formulated for skin that benefits from nourishment without heaviness—especially when fragrance, essential oils, or complicated ingredient lists aren’t a good fit.

Made with grass-fed, grass-finished suet tallow, this formula supports the skin barrier with fats naturally similar to those found in human skin. The result is a barrier-loving balm that softens dryness while absorbing more easily than heavier traditional oil blends.

Instead of essential oils, raw frankincense resin is slowly infused into golden jojoba oil, allowing the resin’s naturally occurring aromatic and fat-soluble compounds to integrate into the balm.

The infusion process takes time and avoids high heat, preserving the character of the resin while keeping the formula simple and stable.

There are no essential oils in this balm. The raw resin infusion provides a subtle aroma and a quieter alternative for those who prefer unscented or low-aroma skincare.

This is a functional, minimalist balm designed to soften and support skin that is dry, reactive, or easily overstimulated—without the heavier finish of castor-oil-based formulas.

Who This Balm Is For

This formula is especially suited for:

• Dry or moisture-depleted skin
• Sensitive or reactive skin
• Combination or easily congested skin
• Those who prefer lightweight barrier support
• Anyone looking for a simple, traditional ingredient balm with a smoother finish
• Suitable for face, hands, and dry areas of the body.

Why This Formula Is Different

Purposeful, separate infusions

Whole vanilla beans are infused into tallow, while raw frankincense resin is infused into jojoba oil; each ingredient prepared in the medium that best supports its properties.

Suet tallow, not trim fat

Rendered from the fat surrounding the kidneys, suet tallow is naturally cleaner, more consistent, and well-suited for skincare formulations.

No essential oils or added fragrance

This formula relies on restraint, making it appropriate for sensitive or reactive skin types.

Balanced absorption by design

Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, helping the balm absorb more easily while still supporting moisture retention.

Small batch, intentionally limited.

Each batch is made slowly, with attention to ingredient integrity rather than scale.
