The base · Replenish1 of 10
Grass-fed tallow
Grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow
Rich, skin-conditioning lipids
Softens dry, rough-feeling skin
Helps hold moisture in
Tallow is the heart of the balm: a rich mix of oleic, palmitic and stearic fatty acids, and a natural carrier for the herbs we infuse into it.
Good to knowYou may hear that tallow is identical to your skin's own oils. It isn't, and we won't tell you it is. It's a rich mix of skin-conditioning lipids, which is exactly why it works so well in a balm.
Jojoba helps the balm spread easily and feel elegant instead of heavy.
Good to knowOne of the oils in our balm isn't technically an oil. Jojoba is mostly liquid wax esters, a type of lipid also found naturally in your skin's sebum.
The base · Replenish3 of 10
Olive-derived squalane
Squalane · from olives grown in Italy, Spain and Tunisia
Weightless softness
Better slip and spread
Makes a rich balm feel wearable
We didn't want to lose the richness that makes tallow special. We wanted to make that richness more wearable.
Good to knowSqualene is naturally present in your skin's sebum. Squalane is its more stable, hydrogenated counterpart, which is why it keeps so well in a balm.
The infusion · Comfort4 of 10
Organic chamomile
Chamomilla Recutita Flower · whole flowers from a U.S. grower
Traditionally used for sensitive skin
Comforts dry or irritated-feeling skin
Supports a calm, healthy look
We slow-infuse whole chamomile flowers into the tallow at low heat for 8–12 hours.
Good to knowAs the herbs steep, lipid-friendly parts of the flowers move into the tallow. A whole-herb infusion isn't the same as a concentrated extract, so we describe it simply and honestly.
The infusion · Comfort5 of 10
Organic calendula
Calendula Officinalis Flower · whole flowers from a U.S. grower
Conditions dry skin
Comforts irritated-feeling skin
A time-honored soothing botanical
Calendula steeps right alongside the chamomile. Its golden petals naturally contain botanical compounds like triterpenoids and flavonoids.
The seal · Protect6 of 10
Organic beeswax
Cera Alba · organic
Gives the balm its structure
Helps slow moisture loss
Smooth, even application
A little beeswax holds the whipped texture together and leaves a light, protective layer on skin.
The scent · Aromatic accord7 of 10
Frankincense
Boswellia Serrata · essential oil steam-distilled from resin in India
Conditions and softens dry skin
Complements mature skin
Warm, resinous base note
Frankincense has been prized in skincare for centuries. It anchors our scent and gives the balm its name.
Good to knowSome frankincense research uses extracts rich in boswellic acids. Steam-distilled essential oil is different, so we don't borrow those claims. We use it for what it does here: conditioning skin and grounding the scent.
The scent · Aromatic accord8 of 10
Organic lavender
Lavandula Angustifolia · USDA organic, from Bulgaria and Greece
Comforts dry-feeling skin
Supports soft, healthy-looking skin
Sweet, herbal heart note
Lavender softens the scent and brings a calming moment to your routine.
Good to knowOur lavender is GC-MS tested. Essential oils change as they age, so we source carefully and store them well.
The scent · Aromatic accord9 of 10
Bergapten-free bergamot
Citrus Bergamia · bergapten-free, from Italy and France
Bright citrus top note
Lifts the deeper frankincense
Skin-conditioning botanical
Bergamot is the first thing you notice when you open the jar.
Good to knowRegular bergamot can contain bergapten, a compound linked to sun sensitivity. We source bergapten-free bergamot so you get the bright scent without that component.
The scent · Aromatic accord10 of 10
Egyptian geranium
Pelargonium x Asperum · from Egypt, GC-MS tested
Softens skin
Traditionally used for a balanced, healthy-looking complexion
Fresh, green-floral heart note
Geranium bridges the bright bergamot and the warm frankincense.
“We aren't asking you to believe an ingredient is magical. We want you to understand why we put it in the jar.”
Four essential oils, layered on purpose. Tap each note to explore the blend.
Top note · First thing you notice
Bergamot
Bright citrus with soft floral warmth. We use bergapten-free bergamot.
Heart note · Rounds out the middle
Lavender + Geranium
Herbaceous, green and gently floral.
Base note · Lingers softly on skin
Frankincense
Resinous, woody and warm. The grounding note the balm is named for.
The feel
Whipped, rich and never greasy
Whipped. Light and airy in the jar.
Melts in. Warms on your fingertips and glides on.
Not greasy. Skin feels soft, not slick.
How much? About the size of a pea. A little goes a long way.
How to use it
Your daily ritual
1
Start with clean skin
Cleanse, then pat dry so skin is still slightly damp.
2
Warm a small amount
Rub a pea-sized amount between your fingertips until it melts.
3
Press it in
Press gently over face and neck, morning, night or both.
Wearing makeup? Give the balm a few minutes to sink in first.

Kristin G.Verified buyer
JP★★★★★
“I like that it melts into the skin and makes it feel very soft, I thought it would be greasy but it wasn't. Also, the scent is very mild.”
Jazzy P.Verified buyer
MS★★★★★
“Fantastic smell! Great moisturizer for night time use (for me). When I wake up my skin is soft and supple.”
Micaela S.Verified buyer
L★★★★★
“Absolutely the BEST tallow face balm on the market, and I have tried several different makers. Whipped texture makes for smooth application with complete coverage.”
LisaVerified buyer
FL★★★★★
“I use a simple and safe soap to clean my face and follow that with the tallow balm. That's it! I'm done! I love the aroma of the essential oils.”
For a lot of our customers, no. Cleanse, press in a pea-sized amount, and you're done. One jar for face and neck, morning and night. If you love layering, add a serum underneath.
Will it last, or disappear like other moisturizers?
It's rich and whipped, so a pea-sized amount covers your face and neck and keeps skin feeling soft long after you put it on. That's why a little goes a long way, and why one jar lasts.
Is it greasy?
It's rich but whipped, so it melts in rather than sitting on top. Start with a pea-sized amount. A little goes a long way.
How strong is the scent?
Soft. Customers describe it as mild: bright bergamot first, warm frankincense underneath. It's scented only with essential oils.
Which size should I get?
The 2 oz is a great way to try it. The 4 oz is the better value per ounce. Either way, your first jar is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
Is it OK for sensitive skin?
It contains essential oils, so if your skin is very reactive, try a little on your inner arm first. For no added fragrance, our Repair Tallow Balm is a great fit.
How is it different from Renew Cold Cream?
The Face Balm is our original whipped balm: tallow, botanical oils, herbs and beeswax, so it's richer and a little goes a long way. Renew is a lighter cold cream with marula and squalane, made to sink in fast. Both share the same frankincense scent.
What's in the Face + Body Ritual?
A 4 oz Face Balm plus a 16 oz Frankincense & Bergamot Tallow Lotion for your body, together for less than buying them separately.
Will it melt in shipping?
Our balms are made without synthetic stabilizers, so they can soften in warm weather. It doesn’t change how well they work. If a jar arrives soft, pop it somewhere cool or in the fridge for a bit and it will firm back up. We pack with ice packs in the warmer months.
When will my order ship?
Every jar is made by hand in small batches, so orders ship in 3–5 business days. You’ll get a tracking email as soon as yours is on its way. Shipping is free on orders over $75.
How does the 30-day guarantee work?
Use it for up to 30 days after it’s delivered. If you’re not happy, call or text a real person at (817) 336-0530 or email support@rr-collective.com with your order number and we’ll refund your purchase.
Restored by nature. Rooted in purpose.
