It’s the Balm

Traditionally used for its nourishing properties, tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants that deeply hydrate and repair the skin barrier. At True Harvest, Dee harnessed this powerful ingredient in his ultimate balm—a blend of natural, ethically sourced elements designed to heal and restore.

“I’m committed to sourcing the very best ingredients found around the world. This is more than a tallow balm; it’s a commitment to sourcing organic, pure, non-toxic ingredients to create a handmade balm that is anti-bacterial, anti-aging, healing and nutrient-rich,” says Dee.

Ultimate Balm features grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow paired with Manuka honey from New Zealand– known for its renowned anti-bacterial and soothing properties; infused olive oil for added hydration and beeswax to lock in moisture. To elevate the experience, Dee included essential oils like sweet orange, vanilla and frankincense, which were chosen for their skin-rejuvenating qualities and aromatic benefits.

The need for such a product is more urgent than ever. Conventional skincare often relies on synthetic fillers, harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances that disrupt the skin’s microbiome and cause long-term damage. True Harvest’s mission is to combat this trend by offering a natural, sustainable alternative that prioritizes health and transparency.

“I looked at my mom’s skincare stack and was shocked to see long lists of ingredients that no one can pronounce. Those aren’t natural, and they’re not good for us. That inspired me to make this balm,” says Dee, who started using beef tallow on his skin two years ago to combat inflammation.

“Three generations are behind this balm. My grandmother joins me in the kitchen for the making of the balm, and my mom, Renee Dee, runs my marketing department, though we are bringing this product to market through the newest distribution channels, and that’s my wheelhouse,” says Dee.

By combining traditional wisdom with modern innovation, True Harvest has created a balm that reflects a commitment to purity and efficacy. It’s more than skincare—it’s a return to roots, a stand against harmful industry practices and a testament to the power of nature to nurture our bodies.
