Lavender: Calming, reducing anxiety and aiding sleep.

Lemongrass: Contains citral, an anti-inflammatory compound. It is traditionally used to aid digestion, reduce fever, lower blood pressure, and relieve anxiety.

Vanilla: potent, natural ingredient rich in antioxidants (vanillin), Vitamin B, and antibacterial properties. It is primarily used to soothe irritation, reduce acne, combat early signs of aging (fine lines) and provide deep hydration. It is suitable for all skin types due to its gentle, anti-inflammatory nature. 

Frankincense: renowned for anti-aging, firming, and skin-rejuventing properties.  It promotes cell regeneration, reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, and acts as a natural astringent to tighten pores. It is commonly used to calm inflammation, soothe irritation from acne or eczema, and improve overall skin tone and elasticity. 

Citrus: Citrus oils have energizing and mood-lifting aromatherapy benefits which make them an effective prong of many mental health boosting rituals. On the skin care side of things, they boast a long list of tremendously healing and proactive benefits. It offers powerful antimicrobial and antibacterial benefits. This means they function as clarifiers and skin balancers, and can be super helpful to those of use suffering from acne-prone skin and congestion. Citrus also has serious antioxidant benefits in the form of vitamin C. It plays an important role in collagen synthesis, and studies have shown it to be effective in preventing damage associated with exposure to UVA and UVB rays from the sun.

Tea Tree: Reduces redness, swelling, and bacteria linked to breakouts. Helps break down excess sebum on skin and scalp. Calms irritated, itchy, or flaky skin.

1. Start with damp skin: Apply the balm immediately after bathing or after misting your face with water or a toner. This allows the tallow to trap moisture efficiently. 
2. Use a minimal amount: Scoop out a pea-sized amount for your face, or a dime-sized amount for larger body areas. 
3. Warm it up: Rub the balm between your fingertips or palms for a few seconds. Your body heat will instantly melt it into a silky, easy-to-spread oil.
4. Pat and press: Instead of aggressively rubbing, gently press and pat the melted balm into your face, neck, or body areas. 
5. Let it absorb: Give it 2 to 3 minutes to sink in completely before applying makeup or getting dressed. If your skin feels oily after 30 minutes, you used too much. 

• Daily Facial Moisturizer: Use it as the final step in your evening skincare routine to seal in serums and allow the vitamins (A, D, E, and K) to repair your skin while you sleep.
• Intensive Body Care: Massage it deeply into notoriously dry areas like rough elbows, cracked heels, knees, and cuticles. For cracked hands or feet, apply a thick layer before bed and cover with cotton socks or gloves overnight.
• Makeup Companion: Press a tiny amount into the skin as a hydrating primer a few minutes before foundation, or blend a drop directly into liquid foundation for a dewy finish. It also works as a natural makeup remover when massaged onto dry skin and wiped away with a warm, damp cloth.
• Targeted Skin Relief: Apply a thin layer multiple times a day to soothe razor burn, sunburns, minor rashes, or patches of eczema and psoriasis.
