What is BALANCER Nourish Tallow Balm?

BALANCER is the Nourish Ritual - a balm designed to bring skin back into harmony. Made with grass-fed tallow, jojoba, calendula, and beeswax, it delivers deep nourishment to dry, sensitive skin. Infused with a symphony of essential oils, BALANCER doesn’t just care for skin - it's calm scent helps restore balance.

How Does It Feel on Skin

Smooth and velvety, BALANCER melts into skin with ease. The rich fats create a protective barrier while botanicals leave skin supple and restored. It’s deeply hydrating without heaviness - comfort you can feel.

The Ritual Experience

BALANCER Nourish Balm surrounds you with a gentle harmony of citrus, herbs, and resins. The first impression is bright and fresh - lifting away the fog and clearing the mind. As it settles, calming florals and herbs unfold, quieting restlessness and inviting  ease. Finally, grounding woods and resins anchor you, leaving you feeling whole.

The result is not just a fragrance, but a feeling: balanced, calm, and quietly restored.

How to Use (and When)

Scoop a pea-sized amount of BALANCER Nourish Balm and warm it between your fingertips. Massage into skin slowly, allowing the balm to melt and the aroma to envelop your senses.

Use it:

  • Morning - to set a balanced, calm tone for the day.
  • Evening - to release tension and prepare for rest.
  • Stressful moments - massage into hands, temples, or chest and inhale deeply.
  • Body nourishment - apply after bathing to restore comfort and hydration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is tallow and how is it made for skincare?

Tallow is rendered animal fat, typically from grass-fed cattle. For skincare, we use the nutrient-dense suet fat around the kidneys, gently simmered at low heat and triple-filtered to preserve vitamins A, D, E, and K2. This creates a pure, stable moisturizer that closely mimics the natural oils of human skin.

Is tallow suitable for all skin types—dry, oily, or combination?

Yes. For dry skin, it deeply nourishes and prevents moisture loss. For oily or combination skin, its similarity to sebum helps balance oil production without clogging pores

Category: Tallow
Does tallow clog pores or cause breakouts?

No. Tallow’s fatty acid profile is similar to human sebum, which means the skin recognizes it and absorbs it easily. It’s non-comedogenic for most skin types and helps restore balance rather than blocking pores.

Category: Tallow
Does tallow smell like meat or beef fat?

Properly rendered grass-fed tallow has no meaty smell. At VAER, we render suet slowly and filter it three times, creating a neutral base that’s then enhanced with therapeutic-grade essential oils for a clean, pleasant scent.

Category: Tallow
Is there a difference between grass-fed and grain-fed tallow in skincare?

Yes. Grass-fed tallow is richer in stearic acid, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and fat-soluble vitamins than grain-fed alternatives, making it more nourishing and beneficial for skin health.

Category: Tallow
Where does VAER source its grass-fed tallow from?

We work with farms based near us in Central Oregon, practicing regenerative agriculture, sourcing only grass-fed, grass-finished cattle. This ensures nutrient-rich fat and supports soil, animal, and human health.

Category: Tallow
Is tallow an ethical or sustainable skincare choice?

Absolutely. Tallow is a natural byproduct of responsible animal agriculture, making use of what would otherwise be discarded. VAER sources only grass-fed, grass-finished cattle raised on regenerative farms, ensuring sustainability and respect for the animal.

Category: Tallow
How long does tallow skincare last before it expires?

When stored properly, VAER tallow balms remain fresh for 12–18 months, but we recommend usage within 6 months of purchase. Their stability far exceeds most seed-oil-based moisturizers, which can go rancid within months.

Category: Tallow
Is tallow balm greasy or fast-absorbing on the skin?

Tallow melts at body temperature and absorbs quickly. It nourishes deeply without leaving a heavy or greasy finish, especially when applied to slightly damp skin. If your VAER product feels like it sits on your skin, reduce the amount you use.

Is Balancer good for sensitive skin?

Yes. Balancer uses gentle floral and earthy essential oils, all below two percent dilution. The base formula supports sensitive skin with soothing lipids and calming botanicals.

Category: Ritual
Can Balancer help with stress?

Category: Ritual
How is Healer different from Balancer?

What are the benefits of essential oils in skincare?

Essential oils provide antioxidant support, calming or invigorating effects, natural aroma, and targeted skin benefits like soothing, balancing, or brightening.

Do essential oils help with emotional balance or mood?

Yes. Essential oils interact with the limbic system. They can calm, uplift, clarify, or restore focus depending on the plant.

Category: Essential Oils
Are the rituals based on skin type?

No. All four rituals work for every skin type because the base formula is skin-identical and barrier-supportive. The rituals differ by scent, effect, and emotional outcome, not by skin category.

Category: Ritual
Are the rituals safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. All blends stay below two percent essential oil dilution. Bare is fully unscented for times when your skin or senses need total simplicity.

Why does VÆR use arrowroot instead of synthetic mattifiers

VÆR uses arrowroot to achieve a clean, natural matte finish without relying on silicone or synthetic absorbents. It supports the balm’s ancestral philosophy by enhancing feel and performance with a plant-based ingredient.
