Grass-Fed Tallow
Rendered beef fat from grass-fed cattle. Its fatty-acid profile is close to the lipids naturally present in human skin, which is why tallow has been used in traditional balms for generations.

Skincare
Primally Pure
A tallow-based multi-purpose balm built around a short list of grass-fed, organic, and wild-harvested ingredients — formulated for dry patches, lips, cuticles, and everyday skin care.

Editorial
Transparency
Carries a natural aroma from tallow and beeswax — clean, faint, and unscented by design, but not entirely odorless.
Texture is dense and solid at room temperature; warm a small amount between fingertips before applying.
Multi-purpose by design — best treated as a balm for dry areas rather than as a daily facial moisturizer for oily or acne-prone skin.
Premium price point relative to drugstore balms, reflecting the sourcing and small-batch production.

Inside the tube
Rendered beef fat from grass-fed cattle. Its fatty-acid profile is close to the lipids naturally present in human skin, which is why tallow has been used in traditional balms for generations.
Technically a liquid wax rather than an oil — structurally similar to human sebum, well tolerated by most skin types, and exceptionally stable against rancidity.
A flowering plant infused into carrier oils for its long-standing use in soothing dry, rough, and sensitive skin. Calendula-infused oils are a staple of traditional botanical skincare.
An occlusive that helps form a protective layer on the skin surface, slowing water loss without sealing the skin completely. Also gives the balm its solid texture.
