The Synergy of Tallow & Algae

The Synergy of Tallow & Algae
Where land and sea meet for radiant, resilient skin.

At SALTF0LK, every ingredient has a purpose, and every pairing is intentional. Our signature balm unites two powerful forces of nature: regenerative grass-fed tallow and wild-harvested marine algae. Together, they create the core of a daily moisturization routine that is rich in vitamins, minerals, and Earth-carried wisdom. 

Why Tallow?

Grass-fed tallow has been used for generations to heal and protect the skin. It is rich in bioavailable vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, along with essential fatty acids that closely resemble the natural oils found in human skin. Tallow supports the skin barrier, locks in moisture, and calms inflammation, making it especially helpful for dry, sensitive, or reactive skin.

Because its composition mirrors that of our own skin, tallow absorbs easily and nourishes deeply without clogging pores or disrupting balance.

Why Algae?

Harvested from mineral-rich coastal waters, algae is a source of antioxidants, trace minerals, and skin-repairing compounds. It helps defend against oxidative stress, calm inflammation, and draw in lasting hydration. Its polysaccharides help strengthen the skin’s barrier and restore a sense of balance.

We use wild-harvested algae and seaweed, never farmed, to preserve their full nutrient profile and protect marine biodiversity. Our sourcing partners prioritize minimal disruption and environmental stewardship.
