"The other day I gave myself a slight burn from a hot pan. I rubbed on some Rescue Balm within 5 minutes and meant to reapply later. The stinging stopped within a minute and I totally forgot about it. Didn't need a second application." John S., Oshawa

Why your skin will love it

• Flare-up first aid — Visibly calms redness and the tight, irritated feel.

 

• Spot support — Helps temperamental, breakout-prone areas look balanced (gentle, non-drying).

 

• Barrier & hydration — Skin-familiar lipids lock in lasting moisture.

 

• Recovery comfort — Soothes windburned, chafed, or post-shave skin.

 

• Antioxidant glow — Supports a healthy, even-looking tone.

 

• Satin, never greasy — Melts in clean; plays well under makeup.

 

Why it works

• Skin-identical lipids (tallow) reinforce the barrier and seal in moisture.

 

• Mango butter & jojoba add cushion and smooth slip without a waxy film.

 

• Manuka & black cumin provide a gentle, purifying effect that supports clearer-looking, balanced skin.

 

• Helichrysum, chamomile & frankincense visibly soothe the look of redness and irritation.

 

• Tamanu & arnica are classic SOS botanicals that comfort stressed, overworked skin.

 

• Sea buckthorn + vitamin E deliver antioxidant support for a healthier-looking tone.

 

• Candelilla wax + arrowroot shape the balm and leave a light, satin finish.

 

Together they deliver calmer, more comfortable-looking skin—fast.

Why we made it

Because flare-ups deserve better than petrolatum. 

 

We wanted a modern SOS balm that works with skin: ancestral lipids for the barrier, plus a targeted calming complex—manuka, helichrysum, chamomile, frankincense—and recovery oils like sea buckthorn and tamanu.

 

The one you keep within reach for redness, breakouts, eczema-prone dry patches, windburn, chafing, and the itchy feel of bug bites.

How to Use: Turn Care into Ritual 

Warm a pea-size between fingertips until it melts.

Gently massage into damp skin. Use on face, neck, and anywhere that wants glow. 

Use AM/PM. Let set 3-5 minutes before SPF or makeup.

Turns daily care into a calming ritual. Layers smoothly over toners/serums; adjust amount to climate and skin type.

For extra comfort, apply a richer layer overnight as your last step.

Scent Notes

Soft, honeyed-herbal: manuka’s warm herb and helichrysum’s straw-honey, a touch of chamomile’s apple-floral, finished with clean frankincense resin.

Skin Feel

Melts on contact. Cushions to a satin, non-greasy finish.

skin-identical fats that deeply moisturize & repair.

What it does:

Reinforces the skin barrier and helps lock in moisture for lasting comfort.

• Leaves skin soft, cushioned, and supple—recognizable lipids = high affinity with skin.

 

Why we chose it:

Bioidentical performance—mimics skin’s own lipid profile better than many plant oils.

• Stable, minimal-process emollient that pairs perfectly with our active botanicals.

 

Good to know:

Naturally fragrance-free; melts at skin temperature for a silky, never-waxy glide.

• Responsibly sourced from small Canadian farms practicing regenerative agriculture; rendered and purified in small batches.

Our Beginning

We drew a hard line. For our family. 

Title

Fat & Bloom was born out of love for our unborn son. When my wife became pregnant, we discovered her trusted natural skincare contained ingredients we didn’t want on our skin or in our bodies. From that moment, compromise was never an option.

What began as a custom solution for my pregnant wife became an uncompromising standard: natural, clean, elevated skincare—without toxins, without compromise.

 

This is Fat & Bloom
 

Uncompromising. Clean. Elevated.

Your Questions, Answered

Is it safe for sensitive skin, pregnancy, or kids?

Formulated for sensitive skin with skin-identical lipids and no synthetic fragrance. It does contain essential oils (manuka, helichrysum, chamomile, frankincense) at low levels—patch test first. If you’re pregnant, nursing, or using it on young children, check with your healthcare professional. For the gentlest option, try our Daily Essential Balm (EO-free).

Does it smell like tallow?

No. Our 5x purified, grass-fed tallow has a clean, neutral profile.

What does it smell like? 

Soft, honeyed-herbal: warm manuka and straw-honey immortelle, a touch of chamomile’s apple-floral, finished with clean frankincense resin.

Will it make my skin greasy?

Not at all. The balm melts into skin and absorbs quickly, leaving it soft, velvety, and calm — never heavy or greasy. A little goes a long way. 

Will it clog my pores?

No. It sets to a light, breathable, non-greasy barrier. A little goes a long way—if it feels heavy, use less.

Can I use it under makeup?

Yes. Warm a tiny amount between fingers and massage into skin; let it settle 3-5 minutes before applying makeup. Great for smoothing dry patches.

What skin concerns does it help with?

Flare-ups and visible redness, spot-prone areas, eczema-prone dry patches, windburn and chafing, and the itchy feel of bug bites—whenever skin needs calm and cushion.
