Barrier Cream
€32,99
Our Recommendation: Your skin is asking for deeper nourishment, and Barrier Cream is built for it. Tallow is rich in the same fats your skin already makes, so it replenishes dryness and softens rough patches without sitting heavy. Good when skin feels tight, flaky, or thirsty in cold weather.
How To Apply: Press a pea-sized amount into damp skin after cleansing, morning and night. Add a thin second touch on the driest spots like cheeks and around the nose.
Our Recommendation: Your skin feels balanced, and Barrier Cream helps keep it that way. It gives steady moisture and supports the barrier (helps skin hold water) so it stays soft without turning oily. An easy everyday match if you want to keep your routine short.
How To Apply: Use a pea-sized amount on clean skin once or twice a day. Press it in gently rather than rubbing. A little more in winter, a little less in heat.
Our Recommendation: Oily or shiny skin still gets dehydrated underneath. Use Barrier Cream sparingly, a rice-grain amount pressed only where skin feels tight. Tallow is close to skin's own fats, so a little settles in without a heavy film.
How To Apply: Press a rice-grain amount only onto the spots that feel tight, once in the evening. Add a touch more if those areas still feel dry the next day.
Our Recommendation: When skin reacts easily to weather, heat or other products, it usually wants fewer things to deal with. Barrier Cream is a short, gentle formula that helps skin settle and feel less irritated. Comfort from a calm, minimal list.
How To Apply: Patch test behind the ear first. Press a small amount gently into the skin once in the evening, then move to twice daily as your skin settles.
Daily Companion
€10,49
Our Recommendation: Daily Companion is tallow, olive oil and honey, with no fragrance, so it can calm and protect dry, cracked lips through wind and cold. Press a thin layer in and let it settle.
How To Apply: Press a thin layer in whenever lips feel dry, and again before bed. On very cracked lips, add a thicker layer overnight.
Our Recommendation: Daily Companion is tallow, olive oil and honey, with no fragrance, so it can keep balanced lips soft and comfortable in any season. Press a thin layer in and let it settle.
How To Apply: Press a thin layer in once or twice a day. Add a little more before sun or wind, and at night for extra softness.
Our Recommendation: Daily Companion is tallow, olive oil and honey, with no fragrance, so it can calm and protect lips that feel raw or reactive. Press a thin layer in and let it settle.
How To Apply: Press a very thin layer in two or three times a day. Add a layer overnight, and skip licking your lips, which keeps the dryness going.
Our Recommendation: Sensitive lips want simple care. Daily Companion is tallow, olive oil and honey, with no fragrance, so it can calm and protect a reactive lip barrier. Press a thin layer in and let it settle.
How To Apply: Press a very thin layer in two or three times a day. Add a layer overnight, and skip licking your lips, which keeps the dryness going.
Our Recommendation: Barrier Cream replenishes dryness and softens rough patches, while Daily Companion calms and protects dry lips. Together they get you through cold, dry weather and keep skin and lips comfortable.
How To Apply: Morning: cleanse, press a pea-sized amount of Barrier Cream into damp skin, then a thin layer of Daily Companion on lips before going out. Evening: cleanse, apply cream generously, add a thicker layer of balm overnight.
Our Recommendation: Barrier Cream gives steady moisture and supports the barrier so balanced skin stays soft, while Daily Companion keeps lips comfortable. An easy pairing that keeps your routine short.
How To Apply: Morning: cleanse, press a light layer of Barrier Cream in, then a small amount of Daily Companion on lips. Evening: cleanse, apply cream as needed, a little more balm at night.
Our Recommendation: Oily or shiny skin still gets dehydrated underneath. Use Barrier Cream sparingly, a rice-grain amount only where skin feels tight, since tallow is close to skin's own fats and settles in without a heavy film. Daily Companion keeps lips comfortable alongside it.
How To Apply: Morning: cleanse, press a rice-grain of Barrier Cream onto tight spots only, add a small layer of Daily Companion if lips need it. Evening: cleanse, use cream only where skin feels dry, a light layer of balm before bed.
Our Recommendation: Both Barrier Cream and Daily Companion are short, gentle formulas that help reactive skin and lips settle and feel less irritated. Comfort from a calm, minimal list.
How To Apply: Morning: cleanse gently, press a very thin layer of Barrier Cream in, then press Daily Companion into the lips. Evening: cleanse, apply cream lightly again, add a thicker balm layer overnight.
