Why Clean Ingredients Matter for Your Skin Barrier
Most body lotions contain 20–40 ingredients. Many include synthetic fragrances, parabens, and petroleum-derived emollients that can disrupt your skin barrier over time.
Tallow's fatty acid profile: palmitic, oleic, and stearic acids, closely mirrors the lipids your skin already produces. A 2017 study in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences confirmed that topical fatty acids matching the skin's natural composition support barrier repair and moisture retention.
Aloe vera adds acemannan and polysaccharides that soothe and hydrate. But plain aloe gel dries quickly, often contains added alcohol, and provides zero lipid support. aloetallow pairs aloe with tallow so moisture absorbs and stays, without a greasy residue.
That's the difference between a clean ingredient body lotion and a bottle of aloe gel from a drugstore shelf.
What's Inside: 8 Ingredients, Full List
- Aloe barbadensis leaf juice: hydrating polysaccharides, no added alcohol
- Grass-fed beef tallow: rich in vitamins A, D, E, K and skin-compatible fatty acids
- Coconut oil: lightweight moisture and quick absorption
- Shea butter: rich emollient for lasting softness
- Carrot seed oil: antioxidant support with a subtle warm tone
- Glycerin: humectant that draws water to skin
- Emulsifying wax: blends oil and water phases naturally
- PE9010: gentle, paraben-free preservative
No fragrance. No parabens. No sulfates. No dyes. You can read the entire ingredient list in under 10 seconds.
Eight ingredients. Every one of them earned it.
Most lotions have 22. We chose 8.
Aloe Vera Juice
First ingredient, not water. Acemannan compounds help skin cells hold moisture from the inside.
Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
Wet-rendered. Its fatty acid profile mirrors human skin lipids, so it absorbs rather than films over.
Coconut Oil
Medium-chain fatty acids with antimicrobial properties. Fast-absorbing, supports barrier function.
Shea Butter
Oleic and stearic acids plus anti-inflammatory triterpenes. Well tolerated by reactive skin.
Carrot Seed Hydrate
Distilled from Daucus carota. Antioxidant support for skin tone and recovery.
Vegetable Glycerin
Draws moisture into the barrier and holds it there. Comedogenic rating of 0.
Emulsifying Wax NF
Holds the formula together as a lotion, not a balm. No fragrance, no irritants.
Phenoxyethanol
Just one gentle, widely used preservative, used within the regulatory limit. Any water-containing formula needs one.
Why the ingredients actually work.
Oleic acid penetrates 5–10x deeper
Research found oleic acid enhanced skin permeability by 5–10x compared with synthetic emollients. Grass-fed tallow is naturally high in oleic acid, which is why it absorbs rather than sitting on top of the skin.
Naik et al., 2000, Journal of Controlled ReleaseAloe vera hydrates at a cellular level
Aloe's acemannan polysaccharide helps skin cells retain moisture rather than just coating the surface. Unlike water-based formulas that evaporate, aloe provides hydration that works with your skin's own mechanisms.
International Journal of Research in Pharmacy and ChemistryTallow restores, not just coats
Oleic, palmitic and stearic acids, the primary fatty acids in tallow, match the composition of human sebum. Your skin absorbs them instead of treating them as foreign.

What customers actually say.
Mo more “lizard skin”. My skin is so “glowy” and hydrated! I love this stuff! I put it on right after my shower and sometimes before bed. My skin stays touchable, yet glowy ALL day long. I’ve tried several lotions & potions over the years and nothing even comes close to these results. Plus, I’m so happy to know it’s completely natural. My skin is now well nourished.
Finally found a body lotion that doesn’t break me out. I use it on my arms and chest every night. The ingredient list is refreshingly short - you can tell they care about what goes inside.
Been poolside this entire summer and would be a crisp without this lotion. Keeps my skin feeling hydrated, soft and has the after sun ingredients that really soothe and help my tan. If you want an all season lotion with premium ingredients, try this.

aloetallow absorbs in under a minute without leaving a greasy film. The lotion format blends tallow with aloe so it sinks in quickly while still providing lasting hydration.
How many ingredients should a clean body lotion have?
