Beef tallow balm is a natural, nourishing way to keep your skin soft and hydrated. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, it helps repair your skin, soothe irritation, and lock in moisture without clogging pores.
Since your tallow comes from grass-fed beef, it’s free from harmful chemicals and hormones found in conventionally raised animals, making it a cleaner, more sustainable option.
Tallow closely matches the oils in your skin, so it absorbs easily, leaving your skin smooth, balanced, and healthy. Whether you have dry skin, sensitive patches, or just want a natural skincare routine, grass-fed beef tallow is a great choice.
Argan oil is indeed packed with beneficial nutrients, making it a versatile and popular natural remedy for both skincare and haircare.
Its high content of Vitamin E and antioxidants helps protect the skin from oxidative damage and supports moisture retention, while Vitamin A contributes to skin renewal.
Fatty acids, including oleic and linoleic acid, nourish the skin, making it softer and more hydrated.

Hello everyone, welcome to my neck of the woods! My name is Eligh, I was born in Portland, Oregon, and I love to forage! From when I was very young, my father took me out picking mushrooms, fishing, and camping. He loved to forage for mushrooms, and so naturally, I developed a keen eye for mushroom identification. After meeting my lovely wife on the Oregon coast, I started spending all of my free time out in the woods with plant, mushroom, and tree identification books. After some time I was able to identify every tree, plant, and mushroom that I came across. I learned their uses, both by native Americans and settlers alike. At this time, I also began fishing for salmon, trout, and different species of coastal rockfish. I always felt a strong sense of pride to be able to harvest a wide variety of wild edibles to suit my palate, and then harvest some natural bait and catch a fish, even how to make hooks and line using plants and trees that grow on the river bank.
I started cooking at a very young age. In middle school, my friends and their parents would ask me to cook food for them because I could make something out of nothing. I love to cook up new concoctions and see what everyone likes. When I became of working age, I started as a buss boy at a barbecue restaurant, and then moved on to work all positions of the restaurant industry. From head chef of a Jamaican restaurant in Tulsa, OK, to sous chef at a highly accredited bistro on the Oregon coast, all before I turned 21.
I Inherited land in southeast Oklahoma and now spend my days working a Fedex delivery route and working with my wife and 3 young boys on our rural homestead. We raise many different kinds of animals and some vegetable gardens. I hunt all manor of large and small game, and butcher all of my own meat. We harvest wild edibles of all kinds and enjoy to cook with them and eat them.
I am grateful that you stopped by to see how we are doing and hope to see you again very soon. We would love to be friends and hope you enjoy all of the recipes and information that I can manage to put out.
Thank you, and much love!
