Our Milk & Honey Tallow Balm is a deeply nourishing, everyday balm crafted to support the skin the way nature intended. Rooted in ancestral wisdom and refined through modern formulation, this is a slow-made blend designed to comfort, soften, and protect the skin—without excess or complication.
At its core is pasture-raised organic tallow, a fat uniquely compatible with human skin. Rich in fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids, it works with your skin’s natural barrier to deliver long-lasting hydration and resilience. We pair this with pasture-raised organic ghee, prized for its soothing, conditioning qualities and ability to enhance skin softness and elasticity.
Cold-pressed organic olive oil and organic macadamia oil provide gentle nourishment and help maintain moisture balance, while wild-harvested Kakadu plum oil adds a natural source of antioxidants to support skin vitality. Organic beeswax creates a breathable protective layer, locking in moisture without feeling heavy or occlusive.
Finally, raw wild honey brings its naturally humectant properties to the blend—drawing moisture to the skin and leaving it calm, supple, and comforted.
The result is a balm that feels grounding, comforting, and effective. Suitable for face and body, and ideal for dry, sensitive, or environmentally stressed skin, Milk & Honey is a daily ritual that restores skin to a healthy, nourished state—simply and naturally.
Every ingredient in this balm is chosen for its skin compatibility, nutrient density, and traditional use.
Pasture-Raised Organic Tallow
Rendered in house over four days from certified organic suet, our tallow is the foundation of this balm. Slow rendering preserves the integrity of its naturally occurring fat-soluble nutrients. Tallow’s fatty acid profile closely mirrors human sebum, which is why it integrates so seamlessly with the skin—supporting the barrier rather than sitting on the surface.
Pasture-Raised Organic Ghee
Sourced from one of Australia’s only Australian-made ghee producers, this ingredient brings a uniquely soft, conditioning quality to the formula. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic skincare, ghee contains short- and medium-chain fatty acids that help improve skin suppleness and enhance overall skin comfort. It also helps carry and complement the other oils in the blend, contributing to a smooth, balanced finish.
Cold-Pressed Organic Olive Oil (Early Harvest)
Pressed from green olives at the earliest stage of harvest, this olive oil offers superior quality and stability. Early-harvest oils are naturally richer in oleic acid and protective polyphenols, helping to support skin resilience. Their enhanced oxidative stability also makes them especially well suited to natural, preservative-free formulations.
Cold-Pressed Wild Kakadu Plum Oil
Wild-harvested in Australia, Kakadu plum oil is prized for its exceptional antioxidant profile. Alongside its natural vitamin C content, it contains gallic and ellagic acids—compounds that support skin vitality and help defend against environmental stressors, making it a powerful yet gentle addition to the formula.
Cold-Pressed Organic Macadamia Oil
Macadamia oil is naturally high in palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that closely resembles those found in healthy skin and declines with age. This gives the oil its distinctive ability to soften and condition without heaviness. Its natural oxidative stability also contributes to both skin compatibility and the longevity of the balm.
Organic Beeswax
Beeswax forms a breathable protective layer on the skin, helping to reduce moisture loss without blocking natural skin function. It adds structure and durability to the balm while contributing subtle skin-conditioning benefits, supporting comfort in dry or exposed conditions.
Raw Wild Honey
We use Malfroy’s Gold TA 21+ raw wild honey (MGO 899 equivalent), a highly active Australian honey valued for its purity and potency. Naturally humectant, it draws moisture to the skin while supporting comfort and softness. Its enzymatic activity and complex nutrient profile make it an ideal ingredient for maintaining balanced, nourished skin.
