A rich all over body balm made of local grass-fed pasture raised tallow, chaparral (creosote), desert lavender, desert sage, sonoran jojoba oil & local raw beeswax

This is a deeply replenishing, reparative, and protective balm entirely made of ingredients from the Sonoran Desert – the aroma alone will teleport you straight into the heart of these majestic lands, while the soft creamy consistency glides on and absorbs like a second skin 

We highly recommend pairing your tallow balm with a hydrosol, as adding a water component creates an emulsification with the oils and changes the game in terms of locking in hydration

Tallow penetrates deeply and effectively because of the similarity between our skin's natural sebum and tallows essential fatty acid profile. It is a rich emollient moisturizer that makes it ideal for dry, cracked, or sensitive skin, preventing moisture loss and promoting healing

Chaparral (larrea tridentata) is beneficial for skin due to its powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, which help protect against free radical damage, soothe irritation, and support healing of various skin conditions

Desert sage (salvia clevelandii) benefits the skin with its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties which help to soothe irritation, cleanse impurities, balance oil production, promote circulation, protect against environmental damage, and enhance tone and texture

Desert Lavender (hyptis emoryi) helps soothe irritation, reduces redness, and protects against environmental stressors. It can help support clearer skin, while it's natural antioxidants combat oxidative damage by reducing premature aging. It's unique properties make it especially beneficial for sensitive skin types or those prone to breakouts

Jojoba oil (simmondsia chinensis) is beneficial for the skin because it closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum, helping to balance moisture, soothe irritation, and provide a non-comedogenic, lightweight layer of hydration

Raw beeswax is excellent for the skin because it creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture while allowing skin to breathe, and it contains natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe and heal.

HEAVEN IN A JAR

Whenever I am dealing with dry skin this is my go to! I also really love the smell of creosote aka la gobernadora, brings me so much joy and nostalgia of my childhood. It's my favorite smell in a small jar. I could never get enough of this.

I'm in love with the Desert Tallow Balm (and everything I've tried from Desert People). The balm is very rich and moisturizes deeply in a non-greasy way. I look forward to my nightly skincare routine, and I'm always sure to re-order my favorites before I run out. I struggle with hormonal acne and this never irritates my skin or causes breakouts. Truly a favorite that I can't recommend enough!
