Why Bravo Tallow Face & Body Balm Works: A Look at Every Ingredient
When we created Bravo Tallow Face & Body Balm, our goal was simple: to make a moisturizer that’s truly natural, nourishing, and effective. Every jar is made with ingredients you can recognize and trust — no fillers, no synthetics, nothing unnecessary. Let’s look at what makes each ingredient so powerful for your skin.
Rendered Pasture-Raised Beef Tallow from our Farm
Tallow is the foundation of our balm, and for good reason. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow is remarkably close in composition to the oils naturally produced by our skin. That means it absorbs easily, deeply moisturizes, and helps support the skin barrier without clogging pores. Using tallow from our pasture-raised cattle also reflects our commitment to sustainability — honoring the whole animal and creating a sustainable, high quality product.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is one of the closest matches to human sebum. It balances oil production, helps skin retain moisture, and carries natural antibacterial properties. In our balm, jojoba softens skin and enhances absorption, making sure the nutrients from tallow and botanicals absorb beautifully.
Calendula Oil
Calendula flowers have been used for centuries to soothe and calm the skin. Known for their anti-inflammatory and healing properties, calendula extracts help reduce redness, irritation, and minor skin discomforts. Bravo Tallow Balm is gentle enough for sensitive skin and a reliable option for everyday use.
Seabuckthorn Seed Oil
Seabuckthorn is often called a “superfruit for the skin.” Its oil is packed with antioxidants, omega-3, -6, -7, and -9 fatty acids, plus high levels of vitamin C. These nutrients promote elasticity, reduce signs of aging, and encourage skin repair.
Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil is famous for its rejuvenating benefits. Abundant in essential fatty acids and vitamin A, it supports cell regeneration and can help reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense helps tone, tighten, and protect while adding a calming element to your skincare ritual. Since ancient times, frankincense has been called the "king of oils."
Grapefruit Essential Oil
Grapefruit oil helps clarify and refresh the skin, making it a natural bright complement to the deeper nourishment provided by tallow and the other oils.
Each of these ingredients in Bravo Tallow Balm is effective on their own — but together, they create a balanced balm that’s moisturizing, healing, protective, and restorative.
