Most "clean" lotions still hide behind one word — fragrance. Ours lists all 20 ingredients, each named, sourced, and explained. No parabens. No phenoxyethanol. Nothing you can't pronounce.
"Fragrance" can stand in for dozens of undisclosed ingredients. Phenoxyethanol shows up in nearly everything, with no explanation. And when a formula you trusted quietly gets reformulated, you're the last to know. The back of the bottle shouldn't read like a puzzle.
We lead with grass-fed tallow and pair it with organic shea butter, jojoba, and coconut MCT oil on a light base of distilled water and organic aloe. Twenty ingredients — each one there for a clear reason you can look up.
Deep nourishment your skin barrier recognizes.
Sinks in with no greasy film or transfer.
Water and organic aloe for a smooth, easy glide.
Shea, jojoba, MCT, and vitamin E to keep skin calm.
All 20 listed, sourced, and explained.
Made without the preservatives label-readers skip.
Unscented, or scented only with organic oils.
Small-batch, with full ingredient transparency.
Yuka independently rates personal-care products on what's actually inside them. Our Tallow Body Lotion scores a perfect 100/100 — "Excellent." Don't take our word for it: open the Yuka app and scan the bottle yourself.
Grass-fed tallow, organic butters and oils, and a gentle, plant-derived system — each ingredient there for a clear reason. No parabens, no phenoxyethanol, no commodity seed oils.
These turn up in a lot of everyday lotions. None of this is here to scare you — they're simply the terms our customers tell us they'd rather leave off their skin. When the whole label is printed, you get to decide.
A single line can legally stand in for dozens of undisclosed ingredients — the #1 thing our fragrance-sensitive customers ask us to leave out.
A preservative in a huge share of lotions. Common and regulated — and one of the terms label-readers most often say they'd rather skip.
A family of preservatives many shoppers now avoid by preference. We use a gentle, plant-derived system instead.
Names like diazolidinyl urea release tiny amounts of formaldehyde as a preservative — easy to miss on a label unless you know the term.
Inexpensive occlusives that form a film on the surface — not the nourishing fats your skin already recognizes.
Grass-fed tallow, organic butters and oils, and a simple plant-based system — every ingredient named and there for a reason.

Warm a small amount between your hands.

Morning and night — or anytime skin feels tight.
"Non-greasy, sinks right in, and my skin feels soft all day. The ingredient list is actually readable. Replaced my thick body butter and light face lotion in one step."
"Rough patches on my elbows I'd basically given up on are smooth again. A little goes a long way and it never leaves film on my sleeves."
"I react to almost everything, so I started with Unscented. Two weeks in — no redness, no itch, just comfortable skin. Being able to read every ingredient sold me."

No. Water and organic aloe help it glide on and absorb, so the tallow-led blend of shea, jojoba, and MCT sinks in with no greasy film or transfer once fully absorbed.
No. Unscented has no added fragrance. Vanilla and Lemongrass are scented only with organic oils — there's no tallow smell in the finished lotion.
Made for it. A plant-derived emulsifier with glycerin, arginine, and hyaluronic acid supports hydration, and the gentle freshness system is built for water-based lotions. If you're reactive, start with Unscented.
It's a preference, not a fear campaign — these are common, regulated preservatives, but they're the exact terms many of our customers tell us they'd rather skip. We use a gentle plant-derived system instead and list every ingredient so you can decide for yourself.
