How to use

Made the slow way
We started with one question: what would skincare look like if we only kept what the skin actually uses? The answer was short — tallow, honey, and a little patience.
Good to know
Texture & finish — is it a lightweight moisturiser?
This isn't a lightweight moisturiser. It's a rich balm: a small amount melts into the skin and takes a few minutes to settle. If you prefer a less shiny finish, you may particularly enjoy using it in the evening, or applying a thinner layer and gently blotting excess.
How should I use it?
At night, warm a pea-sized amount and press into clean, slightly damp skin. In the morning, use a thinner layer and give it five minutes before makeup. Blot excess with a tissue for a softer finish.
What's in it?
Grass-fed beef tallow, raw honey, and cold-pressed olive oil. Full ingredient list is on the product page.
Shipping and returns
Tracked delivery, dispatched within one business day. If it isn't right for you, return it within 30 days.
Shelf life and storage
Keep the lid on, away from direct heat. Use within 12 months of opening. Warm rooms can soften the balm — this is normal and doesn't affect it.
