Linen · base shadeWhat changed.
- Made before
Built on tallow.
Body fat — same lipid profile as your skin. Absorbs in, doesn't sit on. Industry replaced this with petroleum because petroleum was cheaper.
- Single mineral
Non-nano zinc.
The most-studied skin-care mineral on the planet, used in topical balms for over a hundred years. Non-nano stays on the surface of skin.
- Match yourself
Cocoa, by the dial.
Food-grade cocoa is the only colorant. Pick your percentage and we batch the jar to match.
