    Every jar now runs softer and creamier than before, still built from the same tallow and botanical foundation. If you've carried a jar with us, this is the formula matured, not changed. If you're new here, this is tallow doing what it does best: meeting body heat instead of resisting it.

    I love this product. I use it on my face, morning and evening. It absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin soft and supple. I am grateful for the pure ingredients. Already on my third jar!

    I absolutely loved this! It feels clean has a fresh scent of sweet orange and the ingredients feel invigorating and luxurious on the skin. The cream is so airy, it just glides on so smoothly and lathers beautifully, application is a delight:) will be buying more

    Mythos

    Born from nine nights hanging on the World Tree, where wisdom is the wound's reward. Lion's Mane, plantain, and comfrey rebuild what the seeker traded an eye to know. Wisdom is not gentle | it costs an eye, and the eye is only the first price.

    The Alchemical Triad

    Mercury governs Wotan's Wisdom: this is the provision of transformation, designed to carry renewal deep into damaged tissue.

    ☿Lion's Mane and Comfrey deliver Mercury's intelligence, seeking out scarred, aged, or irradiated skin and initiating regeneration from within.

    🜔Olive oil and cedarwood provide Salt's preservation, stabilizing the skin's barrier while transformation unfolds beneath.

    🜍Sweet orange and green tea ignite Sulphur's vitality, brightening the complexion and restoring the spirit of the skin.
