1868 Tallow Balm
1868 Tallow Balm is pure ranch luxury for the skin, lovingly hand-crafted at the Taylor Ranch in Cambria, California from just three ingredients: local grass-fed beef tallow, organic jojoba oil, and organic plum kernel oil.
Perfect for your face as a day or night cream, your hands, you name it. Descriptors we have heard from our customers include: “Imma need your website pls when its live! tallow=amazing.” “I am LOVING it as a night cream. My face is sooo soft when I wake up in the morning.”
We currently feature four beautiful scents.
St. Margaret – vanilla tallow. This balm is named for the patron saint of Scotland in honor of our Scottish heritage and the memory of Susannah’s Scottish grandfather Ray Lochhead–known as California’s “vanilla man.” Scented with Ray’s legacy vanilla. 4 oz. $40.
St. Thérèse - daffodil tallow. This balm honors the “Little Flower of Lisieux,” the life-inspiring saint of Susannah’s grandmother Emilie. Emilie over decades planted hundreds of thousands of daffodils over the hills around her house and invited the community to enjoy them. Scented with narcissus absolute from an artisan perfumer. 4 oz. $40.
St. Germaine – orange blossom tallow. This balm, redolent of the orange blossoms which perfume our ranch in springtime, is named for an impoverished French shepherdess who shared bread with the poor to the dismay of her wicked stepmother. When her stepmother tried to take the bread from her, the crumbs were transformed into flowers. Features neroli scent developed by an artisan perfumer. 4 oz. $40.
St. Isidore – harvest hay tallow. Named for the patron saint of farmers as well as rural lands everywhere and the people who belong to them, this tallow is scented with a gorgeous hay absolute. 4 oz. $40.
About our ingredients: Our balms are made from tallow rendered from happy California coastal cows.
Tallow is a powerful anti-inflammatory thanks to all its conjugated linoleic acid. It infuses your skin with an abundance of minerals and soluble vitamins including…
Vitamin A, or retinol, which boosts collagen production to fight wrinkles and fine lines.
Vitamin D, which acts as a natural sunscreen and an anti-aging agent by bolstering the skin barrier and fending off free radicals and all the yuck.
Vitamin E, an antioxidant, traps and absorbs water into your skin to boost its natural moisture. It also helps minimize scars.
Vitamin K helps resolve dark circles and puffy eyes, while its anti-inflammatory agents protect against aging and harm to the skin.
Vitamin B12, a natural regenerator, brightens your skin and boosts cell recovery while fighting both dryness and acne.
Jojoba Oil is an age-old remedy extracted from a medicinal plant beloved for its miracle properties for skin and hair. It’s anti-acne, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antimicrobial, and most important of all, gentle for sensitive skin. It boosts skin elasticity and moisture, and even calms sunburn.
Plum Kernel Oil is a costly but worth-it skin sensation, with a delicious natural almond scent and powerful anti-aging properties. Abundant in oleic fatty acids and Vitamin E, this oil makes your skin feel like satin and helps both dry and oily skin.
