Skincare that speaks your skin’s language
Frequently Asked Questions

Face balms differs from face creams in both texture and purpose, offering a richer, more restorative layer designed for overnight use and targeted skin repair.
Both our Balms and Creams are oil-based, one of the biggest differences you’ll find between our two products consistency-wise comes down to one ingredient: beeswax. Beeswax, which you’ll find in our face balm, contains protective properties for the skin that allow it to heal. But it also creates a thicker consistency when applied (meaning, a little goes a long way!).
How you apply face cream vs face balm is another difference. One is more for daily maintenance, while the other provides deeper rejuvenation and targeted care.
→ Face Cream: Everyday moisturizer and daytime protection.
Typically, we recommend a light application at the beginning of the day. Face cream restores moisture throughout the day (+ combats dry, cold temps). But it also protects your skin barrier from environmental pollutants.
→ Face Balm: Overnight treatment or targeted use.
Face balm isn’t meant to replace your face cream. It’s designed to be an additional resource for restoration with deeper, targeted, + focused healing properties. But the applications aren’t limited to just your nighttime routine.

Unlike some overnight face treatments, our face balms and creams can be used every day.While these are powerful treatments for your skin, they’re gentle, non-irritating, and safe for daily use.
Restorative and rich tallow balms and creams can be used as the final step in your skincare routine to seal in moisture or applied solo to support skin repair.
- AM: After toning, apply to damp skin. Or layer on top of serum for added protection and day-time hydration, if needed.
- PM: After serum, apply a light layer for added moisture.
