We launched with three crèmes, not thirty. Here is a simple guide to North Glow, North Calm and North Relief, and who each one is for.

I kept the line small on purpose. Three crèmes, each made for a different need, all built on grass-fed tallow. Here is how to tell which one is for you.

North Glow, our everyday facial crème

North Glow is the one most people start with. It blends grass-fed tallow with jojoba, rosehip and raw local honey for everyday nourishment and a soft, healthy-looking glow. Best for normal, dry, mature and combination skin.

North Calm, for sensitive and reactive skin

North Calm is lighter and gentle, made for sensitive, reactive and blemish-prone skin. It pairs tallow with hemp seed and black seed oils, colloidal oatmeal and Non-Nano zinc oxide for balanced daily hydration that does not overwhelm the skin.

North Relief, our richest unscented crème

North Relief is the one I reach for after a long day outside. It is our richest, fully unscented crème, made with tallow, hemp seed oil, calendula and finely milled colloidal oatmeal for dry, weather-exposed skin on the face, hands and elbows.

North Relief Repair Crème for dry, weather-exposed skin

Which crème is best for dry skin?

North Glow works well for everyday dryness. For very dry or weather-exposed areas, layer North Relief where you need it most.

Which is best for sensitive skin?

North Calm was made with sensitive and reactive skin in mind, and North Relief is unscented if you prefer no added scent.

Can I use more than one?

Absolutely. A lot of folks use North Glow or North Calm on the face and keep North Relief nearby for hands and elbows.
