The Reverence Body Balm is the evening balm for the body. Grass-fed and grass-finished beef tallow, whipped with olive oil and a few drops of lavender. It is for the ten minutes after the evening shower, when the house is quiet and the skin is still damp. The same three ingredients as the face balm, in a jar sized for the body.
Tallow carries fatty acids your skin already recognizes, so it settles in rather than sitting on top. Olive oil loosens the texture and gives it slip. Lavender is there for its scent, and we claim nothing for it beyond that. There is no water, so nothing to preserve. No fragrance oil, no filler, no emulsifier.
It is firm in the jar and turns to oil as you warm it. It absorbs within minutes and leaves skin soft rather than greasy. The scent is a soft lavender note that fades within the hour.
The method: warm a dime-sized amount between your palms until it turns to oil. Press it into clean, slightly damp skin, one area at a time. Hands, elbows and heels can take a second dime. Patch test on the inner forearm first, as with anything new.
4 oz is about a year of nightly use. 1 oz is about three months, the introduction.
If your skin is dry and you want the body balm most people choose first, the Regenerative Body Balm swaps lavender for frankincense. If any essential oil bothers your skin, or you want no scent at all, choose the Pure Body Balm: tallow and olive oil with nothing added. For the face, the Reverence Face Balm is the same list in a smaller jar.
