The Balm — Homestead Herbal Lard Face & Skin Balm

Bringing Old-Fashioned Skincare Back!

Sometimes the best things are the simplest things.

Long before store shelves were filled with lotions and creams containing ingredients we can barely pronounce, people used simple fats and herbs to care for their skin.

And that’s exactly the inspiration behind The Balm!

Here on our Northern Michigan homestead, we raise our own pigs, grow and gather herbs, and believe in making good use of what God has provided.

The Balm is handcrafted using rendered lard from our organically fed, pasture-raised pigs, blended with organic cold-pressed olive oil that’s been slowly infused with a variety of skin-loving herbs.

A touch of sweet orange essential oil adds a light, refreshing scent.

 

Why Lard?

Lard has been used in traditional skincare for generations!

Its rich, creamy texture helps soften dry skin and lock in moisture. When blended with herb-infused olive oil, it creates a wonderfully smooth balm that melts into the skin.

No complicated formulas. Just simple, thoughtfully chosen ingredients.

Homegrown Herbs & Their Traditional Uses

Our herbal infusion includes a variety of plants traditionally appreciated for skincare:

• Calendula: Valued for its gentle, soothing qualities.
• Chickweed: Traditionally used in skin-conditioning preparations.
• Comfrey Root: Long used in herbal skin-care traditions.
• Dandelion: A familiar homestead herb used in traditional preparations.
• Echinacea: Another wonderful plant with a history of herbal use.
• Mullein: Traditionally included in botanical skin preparations.

Size: 1 oz jar | Handcrafted in small batches on our Northern Michigan homestead.

A Little Goes a Long Way!

The Balm is wonderfully versatile. Use a small amount to moisturize dry hands, elbows, heels, or other areas that could use a little extra care.

It’s also a lovely addition to a simple facial skincare routine.

Because it’s made with rich fats and oils, you only need a little at a time.

Made Right Here on Our Homestead

From raising our animals to growing herbs and creating the finished balm, this is one more way we’re bringing old-fashioned skills into everyday life.
