STEP 3: SEAL
Whole-Plant Botanical Base: Frankincense · Douglas Fir · Calendula
Barrier Lipids: Grass-Fed Tallow · Jojoba · Squalane
The final protective layer in the Wildwood ritual.
Wildwood Tallow Balm is a rich, water-free facial moisturizer made with grass-fed, pasture-raised tallow and a concentrated botanical complex of frankincense and myrrh resin extracts, Douglas fir, and homestead calendula. Its rich, cushiony texture softens dry skin and seals in the hydration and botanical oils applied beneath it.
Jojoba and olive-derived squalane soften the texture, and a touch of arrowroot gives a smoother, less greasy finish than a traditional tallow balm.
A Protective Barrier Balm Helps To:
- Seal in the hydration and oils applied beneath it
- Soften the feel of dry, tight, weather-exposed skin
- Support a stronger-looking moisture barrier
- Comfort skin after shaving
- Reduce the look of flaking along the beard line and cheekbones
- Help protect against the visible effects of cold and wind
Designed for dry, weather-exposed skin, especially during cold Pacific Northwest mornings and nights.
Essential-oil-free. Water-free. No synthetic fragrance.
Our Process
Douglas fir needles from our Oregon homestead and calendula from our garden are slowly infused into jojoba. Frankincense and myrrh are carried in through our Whole Resin Method.
The tallow is gently infused with lavender for a soft, clean base. The balm is poured in small batches without added water, essential oils, or synthetic fragrance.
The Formula + Ingredients
Grass-Fed Tallow forms the base of the balm. Its lipid profile is similar to skin's own oils, so it melts in comfortably and seals in moisture.
Frankincense, Myrrh, Douglas Fir, and Calendula bring our house-made botanical preparations into a richer, more occlusive format than a serum can provide.
Jojoba and Olive-Derived Squalane soften the balm and help it glide.
Arrowroot refines the texture, reducing the greasy feel commonly associated with traditional tallow balms.

The Ritual
After applying Step Two, Wildwood Face Serum and Beard Oil, warm a rice-grain to pea-sized amount between the fingertips. Press gently over the face, neck, and any areas needing additional protection.
A little goes a long way. Use less for daytime and slightly more as an overnight balm or during cold, dry weather.
For best results, apply over toner and serum rather than to completely dry skin.
