Where We Source Our Tallow

Our tallow comes from grass fed and finished pasture raised cows in Oregon. It's hand rendered in Oregon, and then formulated into our Hera Tallow Balm on the Washington side of the the Columbia River Gorge.

FAQ

Why do you use tallow in your face balm and what are the benefits? Plus

We use tallow because it is a highly stable fat, unlike a lot of oils. That means that it is a lot safer to wear during the day when we are exposed to UV light from the sun, and has a lower chance of oxidizing with light, heat and time.

We also love tallow during the winter from deep, cellular nourishment and moisturizing. Tallow is rich in fatty acids, including oleic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid, which help to hydrate and moisturize. It forms a protective barrier on the skin, preventing moisture loss and keeping it supple.

Tallow also has anti-inflammatory properties. It contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has anti-inflammatory properties. This can help to soothe irritated, red, or dry skin conditions.

Tallow is a source of vitamins A, D, E, and K, which provide essential nutrients for skin health. These vitamins promote cell regeneration, protect against free radical damage, and improve skin elasticity.
Is your Face Balm seed oil Free? Plus

Yes, we don't use seed oils in our day face balm because they are highly unstable fats. This means that under heat, light, and time— they can oxidize and release unstable molecules called free radicals. Free radicals are what can cause skin damage. So, we exclude seed oils from our Face balm thats intended to be worn as your daytime moisturizer when you’re out living life in whatever conditions you’re in!

Now, we are not anti-seed oil! While they are unstable, they also can contain a very high amount of antioxidants that actually combat free radicals. Because of this, we use them in our Night Serum so you can enjoy the healing benefits of those oils while you sleep under the moon.

With the tallow face balm clog my pores? Plus

Everyone’s skin is different. While we use low comedogenic (low pore clogging) ingredients, if you are highly prone to clogging, you may experience that with the Face Balm.

What is annato seed and why do you use it? Plus

Annato seeds have beneficial antioxidants that neutralize harmful molecules called free radicals, which can cause cellular damage. These antioxidant properties also help prevent the oxidation of fats and other components in food, which can extend the shelf life of your face balm.

What makes Hera different from other tallow balms? Plus

Our Hera Face Balm is different from other tallow balms because Hera is see oil-free which makes it a more stable moisturizer for daytime use that won't oxidize in the sun.

    the best tallow balm i've ever used on my face

    Truly this is the best tallow balm I've ever used. It doesn't have that normal tallow smell you get with other products. It's smells fresh, nourishing, and light. Just a pleasant, not overpowering scent. Plus, my dry skin has been loving this with the dry PNW winter we've been having.

    The most moisturizing skin bundle ever

    Both of these products are so clearly infused with care and love, and I think the skin can feel it! The Artemis Night Serum deeply hydrates my skin as I navigate winter in the high desert air, especially after spending lots of time outside. I love the Hera Face Balm all over my body. My skin feels protected, hydrated and glowy.

    I am so happy I found Rhea, it has completely transformed my skin.

    I have very sensitive skin, dry yet breaks in reaction to many ingredients, and have never found ‘the miracle product’ until Rhea. The day balm is so creamy and light and leaves my skin smooth and glowing. I really appreciate that all of the products are batched to order using ingredients you could quite literally eat, now that’s true nourishment for the skin.
