Australian Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
The hero of every DAEAR product. Sourced from cattle raised on open pastures on regenerative farms in regional New South Wales — 100% organic, hormone-free, ethically raised. Grass-fed tallow's fatty acid profile mirrors your skin's own lipid barrier: approximately 47% oleic acid, 26% palmitic acid, and 14% stearic acid.
These are the exact same fatty acids that form the protective matrix between your skin cells. Grass-fed tallow also naturally contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and palmitoleic acid, both of which support the skin's natural soothing and repair processes. In this concentrated anhydrous body butter, the tallow delivers maximum lipid nourishment in its purest possible form.
Kakadu Plum Seed Oil
Kakadu plum (Terminalia ferdinandiana) is native to northern Australia and is renowned for containing one of the highest natural concentrations of ascorbic acid of any plant worldwide. The seed oil used in this body butter delivers the fat-soluble fraction of this superfruit — concentrated antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and phytosterols that integrate into the lipid phase of the formula.
These compounds protect cell membranes from oxidative stress, support the skin's natural repair processes, and contribute to the luminous glow this body butter is known for. Kakadu plum has been used by Aboriginal Australians for thousands of years for its protective and healing properties.
Apricot Kernel Oil
A lightweight, deeply nourishing oil rich in oleic acid (omega-9) and linoleic acid (omega-6) — both essential fatty acids that support skin barrier health and moisture retention. Apricot kernel oil absorbs quickly despite its richness, making the body butter easier to spread across larger body areas without heaviness.
It also contains naturally occurring tocopherols (a form of antioxidant) and phytosterols that protect skin from environmental damage. The oil's fatty acid profile complements tallow's own, extending the nourishment and creating the soft, luminous finish that customers love.
Jojoba Seed Oil
Technically a liquid wax ester rather than an oil — and that distinction matters for absorption. Jojoba's molecular structure closely mimics human sebum, which means your skin treats it as its own rather than sitting as a foreign layer on top. In this body butter, jojoba enhances the absorption of the tallow and other oils, ensuring the concentrated formula integrates into your barrier rather than leaving a residue.
Jojoba is also inherently stable against oxidation, contributing to the natural shelf-stability of this anhydrous formula without the need for synthetic preservatives.
Castor Seed Oil
Rich in ricinoleic acid — a unique fatty acid that makes up approximately 90% of castor oil and is found almost exclusively in this plant. Ricinoleic acid has documented soothing properties and creates a protective, breathable barrier on the skin that locks in the other active oils and tallow without suffocating the skin.
Castor oil also has natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, which is valuable for protecting compromised or broken skin. In this body butter, it contributes to the rich, buttery texture and enhances the protective seal that keeps your skin hydrated for hours.
Frankincense Resin (Infused)
We infuse whole frankincense resin (Boswellia carterii) directly into the formula — this is not an essential oil. The resin contains triterpenoid compounds, including boswellic acids, that have been valued for centuries for their soothing and skin-restorative properties.
The infusion process extracts these lipid-soluble compounds gently, preserving their therapeutic profile. Frankincense resin supports skin regeneration, calms irritated areas, and provides the body butter's subtle, grounding, barely-detectable scent — warm, earthy, and with a slight buttery note that disappears once absorbed.
