Grass-fed tallow, honeycomb, calendula, colloidal oats, and rosehips on Northern Ontario granite

What’s Inside

Grass-fed tallow & botanicals

Short ingredient lists, chosen for purpose and elegance, nothing that doesn’t earn its place.

Skin Food From the North: simple formulations built on grass-fed tallow and a short list of botanicals, each chosen for both purpose and elegance.

We believe skin is nourished best by ingredients it recognizes, not long, complicated labels. Every crème starts with grass-fed tallow and adds only what earns its place: botanical oils, raw Northern Ontario honey, calendula, and colloidal oatmeal, sourced thoughtfully and made by hand in small batches.

The Base

It starts with grass-fed tallow

Every formula begins with rendered grass-fed tallow, a rich, skin-akin fat that melts in to comfort and deeply moisturize. It’s traditional skin food, and the nourishing base everything else is built around.

We render it down, blend it by hand, and fold in only the botanicals that earn their place, nothing more.

The Library

Every ingredient, and why it's here
