Solterra Tallow Vitamin C Balm
Description
A deeply restorative balm that calms inflammation and strengthens the skin barrier.
Rooted in ancestral wisdom and crafted for modern skin, Solterra Tallow Vitamin C Balm is a daily ritual for dry, sensitive, or barrier-compromised skin. At its core is grass-fed tallow from small regenerative farms in Wisconsin, an ancestral fat rich in bioavailable lipids that deeply nourish and mimic the skin’s natural structure.
This balm is infused with calendula, plantain, and other healing whole-plant botanicals, long revered for their soothing and reparative properties. GLA-rich borage seed oil calms inflammation, while oil-soluble vitamin C helps brighten, even tone, and protect against environmental stress. Over time, it smooths texture and reveals your skin’s innate radiance.
Solterra melts effortlessly into the skin, reinforcing the barrier and locking in lasting hydration. Its herbal, subtly floral aroma, notes of tansy and chamomile, creates a grounding sensory ritual. Thoughtfully formulated to restore balance, Solterra is skin nourishment rooted in the intelligence of both plant and animal.
What is tallow? Tallow is a nutrient-dense, rendered fat traditionally sourced from the suet of grass-fed cows. In skincare, we use tallow from grass-fed and finished animals, ensuring it’s rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and a lipid profile remarkably similar to that of human skin sebum.
3% TETRAHEXLDECYL ASCORBATE (Oil-Soluble Vitamin C) concentration.

We recommend testing a small area of skin to see how your skin responds to tallow.
