A comforting balm for dry skin, from face to elbows
Copper Peptide Tallow Balm is a rich, comforting moisturizer for adults whose skin feels dry or rough. One 180 g jar covers your face and the spots that tend to dry out first, such as hands, elbows and knees.
The formula pairs tallow with squalane and jojoba oil in a rich balm. It adds sodium hyaluronate and panthenol for moisture and includes Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu). Your routine is simple: massage a small amount into clean, dry skin.

What the balm is for
Inside the tallow balm
Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu)
This is the copper peptide in the balm's name, listed on the ingredient list as Copper Tripeptide-1.
Tallow (Adeps Bovis)
Beef tallow is an animal-derived fat. Here it is blended with the other ingredients to give the balm its rich, comforting character.
Squalane and jojoba seed oil
These emollient oils help the balm glide on and leave skin with a softer, moisturized feel.
Sodium hyaluronate and panthenol
These are familiar moisturizing ingredients. Sodium hyaluronate is a salt form of hyaluronic acid, and panthenol is pro-vitamin B5.
Royal jelly extract and purslane extract
These featured extracts come from bee-derived royal jelly and from purslane (Portulaca Oleracea).
Glycerin, allantoin and vitamin E
These skin-conditioning ingredients from the full list round out the formula. Vitamin E appears as tocopheryl acetate.
Applying the balm
- Start with clean, dry skin.
- Take a small amount of balm.
- Massage it gently into your face, hands, elbows, knees or other dry areas until absorbed.
- Use daily, in the morning and/or evening.
- Keep away from the eyes. Before first use, try a small area of skin and stop if irritation occurs.

Tallow balm questions
Can I use this balm on my face and body?
Yes. It is made for the face and for dry body areas such as hands, elbows and knees. It is for external use only, so avoid contact with the eyes.
How do I choose between this balm and the body lotion?
Choose by where you plan to use it. This balm is a rich, comforting moisturizer for your face and for targeted dry spots such as hands, elbows and knees, massaged in a small amount at a time. Our Copper Peptide Body Lotion with Hyaluronic Acid is a 300 g leave-on lotion for the body, made to apply after bathing or whenever your skin feels dry. It is not a facial cream, so for your face, this balm is the option of the two.
What are the full ingredients? Is it vegan?
It is not vegan, because it contains Adeps Bovis (beef tallow) and Royal Jelly Extract. Fragrance is also listed. The full ingredient list is:

Is it alcohol-free and paraben-free?
