An ode to resourceful and resilient farm folk, The Homesteader is part of our mini lip balm collection celebrating the plants and growing spaces where we gather and grow. This is the firmest balm in the collectionโyet still spreads easily and offers long-lasting protection. Its texture is reminiscent of classic farm-style balms, with great stay power for daily use.
The formula features grass-fed, pasture-raised beef tallow and sheep lanolin sourced from small, organic, regenerative farms. Lanolin is what makes this balm unique: it mimics the skinโs natural lipids, providing deep hydration, protective occlusion, and enhanced barrier support. Blended with antioxidant-rich Calendula, Peppermint, and Rosemary, this balm soothes, refreshes, and nourishes while giving a subtle herbal aroma reminiscent of a thriving homestead. Packaged in a home-compostable push-up tube made with plant-based inks, gums, and glue, itโs eco-conscious and skin-friendly.
