SALTF0LK is built on simple, responsible choices. We use ingredients that are safe for skin and gentle on waterways. Each batch is made slow and small, right here in the US, and ships in plastic-free packaging.
Our Ingredient Standards
When choosing ingredients, we focus on what is most effective for skin and what is safe for the environment. Fewer inputs. Lower impact. Clear sourcing.
Grass-Fed Beef Tallow Upcycled from the food system rather than wasted. Sourced from grass-finished U.S. pastures through our supplier, with a path toward full farm traceability. Minimal processing and biodegradable.
Wild Algae Extracts Responsibly harvested or cultivated to protect wild stocks. Chosen to meet our ocean-safe standard. No petrochemical carriers.
Jojoba Oil A drought-tolerant crop with simple, low-energy processing. Naturally stable, which helps reduce spoilage and product waste.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E) Extends shelf life so fewer jars are discarded. Smarter use, less waste.
Arrowroot Powder Plant-based texture adjuster; no sythetics.
What We Avoid
We keep formulas ocean-safe and low-impact. Here are materials we don’t use in our balm.
Packaging & Shipping
Materials chosen to be used, reused, or responsibly returned to the cycle. Plastic-free shipping, and a jar meant to live on.
Glass jar, metal lid Durable, reusable, and widely recyclable. Rinse and recycle—or repurpose for storage.
Waterproof label A vinyl label stands up to bathrooms and wet hands. We offset with plastic-free shipping materials.
Plastic-free shipping Paper mailers or boxes, recycled kraft wrap and paper fill, paper tape and stickers. No plastic in outbound parcels.
End of life Remove label, rinse jar and lid, and recycle locally. Dispose of the label in regular trash where required.
Water-Free Formula
Our balm is anhydrous—no added water. Fewer inputs, higher concentration, and a shorter path from jar to skin. Designed for damp skin to lock in hydration without heaviness.
Concentrated by design No water, no fillers. Every ingredient has a job and a reason to be there.
Fresher, smaller batches Hand-poured runs reduce overproduction and waste, so jars move from pour to bathroom quickly.
Lower footprint Less water in manufacturing and transport. A tighter supply chain with fewer steps.
The Damp Skin Method Cleanse, leave skin lightly damp (or mist). Warm a pea-size in palms, then press to lock in hydration. Morning or night.
