Beef tallow balms share our foundation — animal fat is a genuinely good base, and an honest tallow balm beats a bottle of water and emulsifiers. The difference is degree: single-source grass-fed bison, botanicals steeped for a full season, and every jar poured by hand in Los Angeles.

* The complete omega spectrum (notably 5 and 7) comes from the full formula — pomegranate and sea buckthorn oils — not bison tallow alone.

Our comparison, based on typical formulations in each category.

  • Bison Tallow

    Rich in skin-similar lipids that cushion the barrier and seal in comfort so the balm wears light before and after time outdoors.

  • Zinc Oxide + Arrowroot + Cacao

    Cosmetic mineral that contributes to the balm’s soft feel and characteristic tint. Arrowroot + Cacao – Help create a light, non-greasy finish with a subtle natural hue.

  • Botanical Oils: Raspberry, Carrot, Sea Buckthorn

    Antioxidant-rich plant oils that condition and leave skin supple and revived after long days in the elements.

  • Jojoba, Aloe Vera & MCT (C8/C10)

    Cool, fast-absorbing, and lightweight emollients that smooth on easily and sink in quickly for a fresh, comfortable feel.

  • Raw Shea Butter + Vitamin E

    Creates a nourishing softness that helps reduce moisture loss, keeping the finish plush—not greasy.

  • Essential Oils: Blue Tansy, Frankincense & Lavender

    A resin-herbal aroma that feels centering before you head out—and settling after you return.

Topical supplementation explained

Skincare that works like a supplement

Feed

Every ingredient delivers targeted nutrition — vitamins A through K and omegas 3 through 9 from grass-fed bison tallow and cold-infused organic botanicals.

Absorb

Bison tallow's fatty-acid profile mirrors human sebum, so your skin recognizes it as its own. Nutrients absorb deeply, not sit on the surface.

Thrive

The results don't wash off. With consistent use, skin looks and feels healthy, comfortable, and resilient.

Bison on open pasture in the northern Sierra Nevada
high pasture, northern Sierra Nevada

Meet the source

One ranch, high in the Sierra Nevada.

Every jar begins at Diamond Mountain Ranch in Greenville, California — a high mountain valley in the northern Sierra Nevada, where the bison roam open pasture year-round.

The Sierra is generous country: snowmelt-fed meadows, mineral-rich mountain soil, native grasses that grow slow and dense in the mountain sun — the kind of high-country pasture the world's great grass-fed traditions are built on. It matters, because the quality of a tallow begins with the quality of the grass.

Grass-fed, grass-finished, raised the old way, by a family we know by name. We buy from this one ranch, and only this one — so we can stand behind every batch, from their grassland to your jar.

Common questions

It's made for days spent outside. In the morning, it's a mineral-rich moisturizer that wears light under the sun's company. Throughout the day, reapply whenever skin wants comfort. And when you come back in, the antioxidant-rich botanicals — raspberry and carrot seed oils, aloe vera — soothe and settle skin after hours outdoors. (And to be clear: it's not a sunscreen — see below.)

No. The Sun Balm is a mineral-rich morning moisturizer — not a sunscreen, and it has no SPF rating. The non-nano zinc oxide is a cosmetic mineral that gives the balm its soft feel and subtle natural tint. If you need sun protection, use a dedicated, tested sunscreen.

Lightweight oils like MCT and jojoba, plus finely milled arrowroot, give this balm a velvety, dry-touch finish — it sinks in quickly rather than sitting heavy on the skin. Bison tallow's fatty-acid profile mirrors human sebum, so it absorbs readily.

With daily morning use, the 1 oz jar lasts about 62 days and the 1.7 oz about 105 — a pea-size amount warmed between fingertips is all you need.

Herbaceous, grounding, and subtly sweet — frankincense and blue tansy lead, with soft lavender beneath. A resin-herbal aroma that feels centering before you head out.
