What makes each product different?
▾Nature’s LUXE Tallow Face Cream — what’s the “Tri-Bright Stack™”?
Our flagship 4oz cream pairs a Tallow-Lipid Complex™ (tallow + squalane + shea) with a Tri-Bright Stack™: Niacinamide, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), and Kojic Dipalmitate—designed for a smoother-looking, more even-toned finish with a makeup-friendly, silicone-free glide.
Finish | Satin / cashmere-glide (no pilling) |
Aroma | Signature Whisper (subtle EO blend) |
“Free from” | Parabens, mineral oil, silicones, synthetic fragrance |
▾Lip Brightening Tallow Balm — does it use dyes?
No FD&C dyes. The sheer blush comes from iron oxides. The balm is anhydrous (no water) with tallow + beeswax for cushion and kojic dipalmitate to support a more even-looking tone over time. Zero menthol/plumper sting.
▾Rescue & Restore Hair Loss Tallow Balm — does it regrow hair?
It’s a cosmetic leave-in balm (not a drug). Built with Saw Palmetto, Rosemary, Cedarwood and Caffeine to support the appearance of density while conditioning with tallow, shea, mango, batana, castor & jojoba. Non-sticky, silicone-free finish.
▾SoftTouch Shave Tallow Cream — brush-whippable?
Yes. Stearic + castor create dense cushion for blade glide; tallow + shea + mango restore moisture; aloe + panthenol + frankincense calm post-shave feel. Silicone- and sulfate-free.
▾Nature’s Essence Hair Repair Mask — fragrance-free?
Correct. Fragrance-free (no essential oils). Uses BTMS-50 + Panthenol for slip, a gloss-rinse blend (squalane/babassu/jojoba), and a cuticle-calm target pH ~4.8. Only ~1% tallow for feather-light softness.
▾Mother’s Recovery Body Cream — pregnancy notes?
Waterless, hand-whipped balm built on tallow + shea + mango with baobab, meadowfoam, rosehip, squalane and a whisper of lavender/frankincense. Appearance-based claims only. If pregnant or nursing, review ingredients with your provider.
▾Mineral Sun Shield Cream — is it a sunscreen?
No. It’s a cosmetic mineral barrier cream using non-nano zinc oxide with no SPF rating. Designed for low-cast wear and a soft-matte finish; fragrance-free. Follow sun-smart practices for extended exposure.
Ingredient choices & safety
▾Where do you source your tallow & key oils?
We use 100% grass-fed/finished beef tallow and prioritize cold-pressed, ethically sourced botanicals (e.g., marula, rosehip, sea buckthorn, jojoba, meadowfoam). Micro-batch production = fresher jars.
▾Do you use preservatives?
Only where water is present. Water-based formulas (like the Luxe Face Cream and Essence Hair Mask) are preserved with Geogard® 221 (Benzyl Alcohol & Dehydroacetic Acid) and supported with chelation (Sodium Gluconate) for stability.
▾Fragrance & essential oils?
- Luxe Face Cream: “Signature Whisper” essential-oil note.
- Lip Brightening Balm: trace sweet orange (EO) + mineral tint.
- Essence Hair Repair Mask: fragrance-free (no EOs).
- Mineral Sun Shield: fragrance-free.
Sensitive? Always patch test first.
▾Cruelty-free?
Yes—no animal testing. Some formulas include animal-derived ingredients (tallow; some include beeswax), noted on each product page.
Application tips & tools
▾How do I apply the Luxe Face Cream for best results?
- Warm a pea-size between fingertips.
- Press into slightly damp skin—don’t rub hard.
- Seal with Mineral Sun Shield by day; use a touch more at night if needed.
▾What is the Luxe Cool-Press Wand™ and how do I use it?
We include a complimentary metal-tip wand with the Luxe Face Cream. Dot the cream, then use the cool tip to press (not rub), especially under eyes, for an even, calm set before makeup.
▾Patch test instructions
