Tallow for Skin | Nature’s Original Moisturizer

What Your Skin Actually Needs: Fats, Vitamins, and Stable Moisture.

Tallow is one of the few whole- food fats that naturally contains the same building blocks your skin barrier is made of. Its fatty acid profile mirrors human sebum, making it deeply compatible, easily absorbed, and supportive of balance.

Jojoba Oil for Skin: Nature’s Perfect Moisturizer

Jojoba isn’t just an oil—it’s a molecular match for your skin.

Technically a liquid wax, jojoba closely mimics human sebum, allowing it to absorb effortlessly and balance moisture without clogging pores. Naturally rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, it’s the quiet harmonizer in our formulas—bringing calm, clarity, and long-lasting softness to every application.

Beeswax | Natures protective barrier

Beeswax is nature’s original skin sealant—protective, breathable, and beautifully simple.

It forms a gentle barrier on the skin’s surface, locking in hydration while shielding against environmental stressors. Unlike synthetic occlusives, beeswax lets your skin breathe and heal, naturally. In VÆR formulas, it’s the structure that holds softness in place.

Calendula | Nature's Skin Healer

Calendula is the botanical balm our ancestors trusted for calm, repair, and renewal.

Known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory properties, this golden flower supports skin recovery at every stage—reducing redness, easing irritation, and accelerating healing. Infused gently into our tallow base, calendula brings herbal intelligence to every jar.

Essential Oils, Nature’s Therapeutic Aromas

Essential oils are the soul of each VAER blend—aromatic, functional, and emotionally intelligent.

We don’t scent for the sake of it. Each oil is chosen for its skin-supportive properties and its ability to shift mood: grounding vetiver, clarifying peppermint, heart-opening rose. It’s skincare as ritual, scent as signal.

Vitamin E, Antioxidant, Healer, and Skin Barrier Ally

Vitamin E is the guardian of your skin barrier—powerfully antioxidant, deeply reparative, and essential for resilience.

Ours isn’t synthetic filler; it’s a biologically active nutrient that protects against oxidation, calms irritation, and helps your skin heal itself. It’s not a trend—it’s what your skin has always needed.

Arrowroot Powder for Skin: Nature’s Velvet Touch

Arrowroot is the balancer of your skin—lightweight, soothing, and quietly powerful.

Ours isn’t a synthetic filler; it’s a pure ancestral starch that absorbs excess oil, refines texture, and helps nourishing fats sink in without heaviness. More than a trend, it’s a time-tested ingredient that makes skincare breathable, velvety, and in harmony with your skin’s natural rhythm.

This is the most amazing product. After trying at least 10 different products for my daughter's dry cracking hands with no luck. We were so happy and relieved to find a product that not only worked but smelled amazing and made her hands silky. There were several days we used it twice a day and other times we skipped days having wonderful results.

I think I was initially turned off by the idea of putting beef fat on my face. But the experience was much different. It felt like a face cream.

The feeling is my skin actually feels nourished and rejuvenated. I'll be honest...I forgot about it for awhile, then found it in my car when I got a carwash and remembered to try it. I was skeptical, but I tried it. And I genuinely like it. I've been putting it on my face every night for the past week or so. I don't know if it's placebo or if there's a noticeable difference, but it just feels good.
