Beurre corporel fouetté légèrement parfumé
Six ingredients. Skin that holds onto moisture.
A clean body butter that works whether your skin's reactive, rough, or just ready for something simpler.
What you'll notice- All-day moisture
- Calms reactive skin
- Repairs barrier
- Smooths rough patches
- Real vanilla scent
- Pregnancy safe
Tallow matches your skin's own fat profile, so your body knows how to use it on contact. No water in the formula means no preservatives, no fillers. If clean body lotions haven't worked, this is why.
Tallow · Jojoba oil · Olive oil · Beeswax · Honey · CO₂-extracted vanilla
Six ingredients. That's the whole list.
What each ingredient does8.45 fl. oz — enough to use daily without rationing it. Most tallow body butters are 2oz.

Your skin doesn't want water. It wants fat
Which is why every water-based lotion evaporates within the hour — there was never enough there to last.
- Tallow matches your skin's own fat composition — it absorbs because your body already knows how to use it, not because it's been engineered to penetrate.
- CO₂-extracted vanilla is not fragrance — it's the full compound of the vanilla bean, preserved without solvents or heat. The scent is real. So are the skin-calming properties that synthetic vanilla discards entirely.
- No water means no preservatives — every ingredient in this tin is doing something for your skin. Nothing exists just to stabilize something else.
Here's what changes first
- You step out of the shower and your skin feels finished. Not tight. Not asking for more within the hour.
- The rough patches — elbows, knees, shins — stop being the patches you manage and start just being skin.
- People notice. Not because you've done something dramatic. Because your skin looks like it's being taken care of.
What you'll actually notice
Skin that stops reacting to everything.
Tallow's vitamin A calms irritation and supports recovery. Olive oil layers in antioxidants that shield your skin from daily stress. With nothing synthetic in the formula, your skin stops being on constant defense.
Skin that holds its own moisture.
Honey is a humectant. It literally pulls moisture from the air into your skin. Jojoba absorbs deep. Beeswax seals it in. The result is hydration that lasts, not hydration that evaporates by lunch.
Your skin actually recognizes this.
It doesn't recognize your lotion. Tallow's fat profile matches your skin's own sebum. Olive oil is high in squalene, the same lipid your skin already produces. Your body treats both as its own, absorbing completely and delivering vitamins A, D, E, and K to the layers that need them.
A scent that's actually good for your skin.
CO₂ extraction preserves the full therapeutic and aromatic profile of the vanilla bean. The scent is warm and genuine — and the skin-soothing properties that fragrance oils strip out are still intact.
For every version of your body. At every stage.
Whether your skin is going through a change, reacting to everything, or just deserves something cleaner and more effective — you're in the right place.
-
Your skin isn't what it used to be.
Perimenopause and menopause
Skin on your arms and chest that suddenly feels paper-thin. Crepey texture where there wasn't any before. Itchy dry patches that weren't part of your life last year. Estrogen drops and your skin loses the natural oils it used to make on its own. Not just on your face. Conventional lotions can't keep up because they're mostly water. Tallow replaces exactly what hormonal changes take away, in a form your skin already knows how to use.
-
Pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding.
The whole journey
The belly skin that feels tight as it stretches. Hands that won't stop cracking. Itchy dry patches that lotion makes worse. Your body is changing faster than any product can keep up, and you're thinking twice about everything you put on your skin. Six ingredients, all organic, nothing synthetic. Safe at every stage — and effective enough to actually help with the dryness and changes your body is going through.
-
You reach for lotion and it's already worn off.
Dry skin that nothing fixes
Tight skin after every shower. Rough elbows, knees, shins that won't smooth out. Lotion that feels good for an hour and disappears. Tallow doesn't evaporate — it absorbs completely and stays. One application after your shower and your skin holds its moisture through the day.
-
Every scented lotion makes your skin angry.
Sensitive and reactive skin
Body products are often worse than face products for synthetic ingredients — fragrance, preservatives, stabilizers. Your skin reacts because it's supposed to. No synthetic fragrance. No irritants. Just CO₂-extracted vanilla and five other ingredients your skin already recognizes.
-
You're done putting unknowns on your skin.
Clean swap
You've started reading labels. Body lotion is next on the list. Most of what's in conventional moisturizers is either water, synthetic filler, or an ingredient you'd have to research at midnight. Six ingredients. Every one of them something you'd recognize. Nothing to second-guess.
What we left out — and why
The moisturizer you used this morning is probably illegal in 27 countries.
Every ingredient we didn't use was a decision, not an oversight.
Here's what you'll find in nearly every moisturizer, lotion, and body cream on the shelf — what those ingredients are actually doing to your body, and why the industry won't stop using them.
Parabens
Found inDetected in breast tumor tissue. Linked to hormonal disruption and reduced fertility.
Parabens mimic estrogen in your body. They've been found in breast tumor tissue and are associated with early puberty in children, hormone interference, and reproductive harm across multiple published studies.
Why they're everywhereThey're cheap preservatives that extend shelf life to years. We don't need them because our formula contains no water — nothing for bacteria to grow in.
Phthalates
Found inBanned in children's toys in the EU. Still fully legal in U.S. skincare.
Classified as endocrine disruptors. Linked to reproductive harm, lower sperm counts, thyroid interference, and increased risk of childhood asthma. The EU has restricted their use significantly. The U.S. has not.
Why they're everywhereThey make synthetic fragrances last longer and formulas spread more easily. We use no synthetic fragrance and no synthetic carriers.
Synthetic Fragrance
Found in"Fragrance" is a legal loophole. One word can hide 3,000+ undisclosed chemicals.
Companies aren't required to disclose what's in their fragrance blend. Known triggers include contact dermatitis, migraines, respiratory irritation, and hormone disruption. The EU has restricted over 80 fragrance compounds. The U.S. restricts almost none.
Why it's everywhereScent sells. It makes products feel luxurious and memorable. Our vanilla comes from CO₂ extraction of the whole vanilla bean — not fragrance oil, not synthetic. Every compound listed. Nothing hidden behind the word "fragrance."
SLS / SLES (Sulfates)
Found inIndustrial detergents that strip the exact barrier your skin needs to hold moisture.
Sulfates destroy your skin's lipid barrier — the same barrier that keeps moisture in and irritants out. They're a primary cause of the tight, dry, sensitive feeling after washing that sends people reaching for more product.
Why they're everywhereThey create foam. People associate lather with clean. Your skin doesn't need foam. It needs its natural oils left intact.
Dimethicone (Silicones)
Found inCreates the illusion of smooth skin. Underneath that film, your skin can't breathe.
Silicones coat the skin in a synthetic film. Underneath it, your skin can't shed dead cells normally, pores can become congested, and dullness accumulates over time. The smoothness is real. The skin health it implies is not.
Why it's everywhereIt makes skin feel silky instantly — before anything has actually changed. That instant gratification is the product. Beeswax creates a genuinely breathable barrier without the synthetic film.
Water
Found inDilutes everything you're paying for. Then requires preservatives to compensate.
Water itself isn't harmful. But when it's the formula base, it dilutes the active ingredients you're actually buying, and it forces the addition of preservatives, stabilizers, and emulsifiers to prevent spoilage. Most of those preservatives are the parabens on this list.
Why it's everywhereWater is the cheapest ingredient in skincare. It pads formulas and keeps margins high. Our body butter is 100% active ingredients. Nothing diluted. Nothing needs preserving.
What repeated exposure does over time
Barrier Breakdown
Sulfates, synthetic emulsifiers, and silicone films gradually compromise your skin's ability to hold moisture independently. Over time your skin becomes reliant on constant reapplication not because it needs more hydration — but because conventional products have damaged its ability to self-regulate. Tallow works with your skin's existing fat profile instead of stripping and coating it.
Cumulative Hormone Disruption
Parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrance compounds all mimic or interfere with estrogen. Body lotion covers more skin surface than any other product — meaning the daily absorption load is higher than face products. No single application is alarming. But daily use across years creates a cumulative burden your endocrine system was never designed to process.
Increasing Sensitivity
Repeated exposure to synthetic preservatives and fragrance compounds primes your immune system to react more aggressively over time. Skin that tolerated products for years starts reacting to things it never did before. This isn't your skin getting worse on its own — it's the cumulative effect of products that were never truly compatible with it.
Chronic Low-Grade Inflammation
Synthetic preservatives and fragrance compounds are documented inflammatory triggers. Low-grade, repeated inflammation on the body is linked to accelerated skin aging, chronic dryness, and increased reactivity. Most people never connect the lotion they've used for years to the skin problems that developed gradually alongside it.
You switched to this because you wanted something that actually works without a list of ingredients you'd have to look up. Six ingredients. CO₂-extracted vanilla — not fragrance oil. Every compound listed. Nothing your skin has to process, fight, or adapt to. That's the whole point.
Most body lotions need 30+ ingredients. We need six.
Water, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Phenoxyethanol, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance, Tetrasodium EDTA, Butylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Allantoin, Panthenol, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Ethylparaben, BHT, Chlorphenesin, Amodimethicone, Trideceth-12, Cetrimonium Chloride, Sodium PCA, Xanthan Gum, Aminomethyl Propanol
Most of those 32 ingredients exist to stabilize, preserve, or mask the water that makes up 70% of the formula. Ours doesn't have water. So we don't need any of that.
"I was putting lotion on twice before lunch and still had dry patches by dinner. I've used this once a day for two weeks and haven't thought about my skin since."

Who makes this
We got tired of reading ingredient lists we needed a chemistry degree to understand. So we made something different. Something with real ingredients we could actually explain. Every tin is still mixed, poured, and packed by our family. No factory. No middleman. Just us.

Pure Ingredients, Pure Results
How to use
Less than you think. Every time.
No complicated routine. Apply it once and move on with your day.
-
1
Right after your shower.
Damp, warm skin is the key. The moisture and warmth help it absorb completely and go further.
-
2
Less than you think.
A small scoop. Warm it between your palms for a few seconds until it melts down. That's when it's ready.
-
3
Smooth and press in.
Apply to legs, arms, anywhere dry. Rub gently. Let your skin absorb it rather than pushing it around.
-
4
Give it a moment.
It absorbs slower than lotion. That's not a flaw — that's actual nourishment staying put. Get dressed and you're done.
Good to know

- One tin lasts 4–8 weeks with daily full-body use.
- Morning or night. No rules about when.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the vanilla scent come from?
Our vanilla isn't fragrance oil or synthetic vanilla. It's CO₂-extracted directly from the vanilla bean — a solvent-free process that preserves the full aromatic and therapeutic profile of the plant. The result is a scent that smells like real vanilla because it is real vanilla. Subtle, warm, and genuine. It doesn't spike and fade the way synthetic fragrances do.
Why does my body butter feel grainy sometimes? Is something wrong?
Nothing is wrong. The grainy texture happens because the natural fats in tallow can crystallize at different rates when the product goes through temperature changes. Warm the butter between your palms before applying and it will melt smooth immediately. This is a sign of a pure formula — no synthetic stabilizers.
How long does one tin last?
With daily full-body use, most customers get 4–8 weeks from one tin. A little goes further than you'd expect, especially applied to damp skin right after showering. At $56, that's roughly a dollar a day for a body moisturizer you'll actually want to use.
Will your products leave my skin feeling greasy?
While tallow is deeply nourishing, it is not greasy. Our tallow-based formulations are designed to provide rich hydration without leaving a heavy, oily residue.
That said, we recommend using a small amount of product—just enough to lightly coat the skin. Applying too much can feel overwhelming and may leave a greasy sensation.
By starting with a small amount, you’ll experience the full benefits of tallow without any heaviness or residue. It absorbs at a slower rate than lighter moisturizers, but this gives your skin time to fully absorb the nutrients, leaving it soft, nourished, and balanced without a greasy finish.
Is your product safe for sensitive skin? Does it help with eczema and psoriasis?
Yes, our products are safe for sensitive skin and have been beneficial for people with conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Since we use only natural, gentle ingredients without synthetic chemicals, fragrances, or harsh additives, our products are ideal for those with sensitive or reactive skin.
Many of our customers with eczema and psoriasis have reported great results. The tallow in our formulations is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, which help soothe and nourish irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and restore the skin’s natural barrier. Its deep moisturizing properties can alleviate dryness, itching, and flare-ups commonly associated with these conditions, helping to promote healthier, more comfortable skin.
We always recommend performing a patch test first to ensure your skin responds well to the product. We also offer an unscented product which is completely free from all fragrances. If fragrance sensitivity is a concern, our unscented version uses chamomile and calendula-infused jojoba for additional skin-calming support.
Are they pregnancy safe?
Yes. Our products were created and used during pregnancy and are made with gentle, nourishing ingredients meant to support the skin during sensitive seasons like pregnancy. That said, every body is different, so we always recommend reviewing the ingredient list and checking with your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns or sensitivities.
For more on what makes skincare pregnancy-safe and the ingredients to avoid, see our pregnancy-safe skincare guide.
Why does the color or consistency of my product look or feel different from photos or previous orders?
Natural ingredients aren't uniform. Botanicals and oils shift in color from harvest to harvest, season to season. Grass-fed tallow from spring pasture looks different from tallow rendered in late fall — the animal's diet and the time of year both affect the final color and texture.
Consistency can also vary slightly. Temperature during shipping and storage, humidity, and natural variation between batches can all make a product feel slightly firmer or softer than a previous tin.
What never changes is the formulation, the sourcing standards, and how the product performs. The photos on our site show a representative batch. Variation in color or texture is proof that we're not using synthetic dyes, artificial colorants, or chemical stabilizers to force uniformity — because we're not.
What’s the difference between your Face Balm and Body Butter? I noticed they have the same ingredients.
Although they share the same core ingredients, the have a different consistency and proportion. The body butter is whipped to a lighter texture suited for larger surface areas — it spreads easily across legs, arms, and torso. The Face Balm is denser, formulated for targeted application on the face. Both are completely waterless and built on the same tallow base.
