    Description

    Pasture leaf lard is naturally rich in Vitamin D. It has been shown that vitamin D may assist in reducing inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. Vitamin D regulates many physiological processes in the skin ranging from cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis to barrier maintenance and immune function.


    Please note sometimes the colour and scent of the product may vary. This is because the product is naturally made with seasonal ingredients in small batches.

    How to use

    To reap the full benefits of this balm, here’s how to use it effectively:

    1. Apply to Dry or Irritated Areas
    Use the balm on areas that need extra moisturisation, such as elbows, knees, feet, or hands. Apply a small amount to the skin and gently massage it in for deep moisture and soothing relief.

    2. Use as a Healing Salve
    For cuts, scrapes, or other minor skin injuries, apply the balm directly to the affected area. Its healing ingredients will help speed up the recovery process and reduce scarring.

    3. Soothe Inflammation
    If you're dealing with red, itchy, or inflamed skin—whether from conditions like eczema or sunburn—this balm can help calm the irritation. Apply a thin layer to the affected area and let it absorb.

    4. Overnight Treatment
    For extra hydration and healing, apply a thicker layer of the balm before bed, especially to areas with dry patches or cracked skin. The balm will deeply nourish and repair your skin overnight.

    You can also incorporate our Soothing Balm into your daily skin care routine:

    1. Cleanse your skin with Ghee Cleansing Oil, or plain warm water: Start by cleansing your face to remove dirt and impurities.
    2. Hydrate with Floral Toner: Spritz your face to add hydration back into your skin cells and help promote skin barrier health.
    3.Apply Barrier Repair Serum (optional): If your skin barrier is needing a little bit of love, such as extra dryness, sensitivities or redness, add Barrier Repair Serum into your routine.
    4. Apply Soothing Balm: Scoop a small amount of the balm and gently massage it into the skin. Apply it to areas that need extra hydration or rejuvenation, such as your face, neck, hands, or any dry patches.

    Soothing Balm Heroes

    • Pasture Raised Lard

      Our Lard is made from pastured leaf fat (the prized fat around the kidneys, the equivalent of suet from cattle). Rich in saturated fats to promote a healthy barrier and deeply nourish the skin. It has slightly lower saturated fats than tallow, so can be a better option for those with acne-prone skin. 

    • Organic Jojoba Oil

      A low PUFA oil, suitable for all skin types. It is rich in Vitamins E, A, B, D, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, helps regenerate skin cells, reduce inflammation and provide lasting moisture. Its light consistency absorbs quickly, locks in hydration, balances oil production to prevent breakouts, and its antioxidants repair and protect mature skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

    • Local Beeswax

      Beeswax is a natural emollient that helps to lock in moisture, making it great for keeping the skin hydrated and soft. It also forms a protective barrier on the skin, shielding it from environmental irritants while allowing the skin to breathe. Rich in vitamins A and other nourishing compounds, beeswax has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for dry, chapped, or sensitive skin.

    • Calendula

      Calendula is known for its soothing and healing properties for the skin. It helps to reduce inflammation, promote wound healing, and improve skin hydration. It's commonly used to calm irritated skin, treat minor cuts, burns, rashes, and acne, and can also help with conditions like eczema and psoriasis due to its gentle, anti-inflammatory effects.

    • Chamomile

      Chamomile is renowned for its calming and anti-inflammatory effects on the skin. It helps soothe irritation, reduce redness, and promote healing. Chamomile is often used to treat conditions like eczema, rosacea, and acne, and it also provides antioxidant protection, helping to reduce signs of aging and skin damage. Its gentle properties make it ideal for sensitive skin.

    • Lion's Mane

      Lion's Mane mushroom is known for its potential to promote skin health by supporting collagen production and improving skin elasticity. It has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help reduce redness, irritation, and promote overall skin rejuvenation. Additionally, it may help boost skin hydration and protect against oxidative stress, potentially contributing to a more youthful appearance.

    Lovely moisturiser

    Mild chamomile smell, and so velvety soft against the skin. Only a tiny amount required, too. I usually use tallow but I think I prefer this!

    Very Soothing

    Really nice balm and scent. I used it on my sunburn and it calmed the burning straight away. Also used on psoriasis on my hairline and the next morning it was normal. I’m alternating this on my face too. I can’t decide which is my favourite for my face yet. They are all great!

    Healed my baby’s skin overnight

    This cream is incredibly nourishing and it healed my bubbas rash on his cheeks literally overnight, i was so amazed. He had this red rash / eczema type redness on one of his cheeks for about 2 months, i put the cream on in the evening and the next morning the redness was almost completely gone.
