About Balm of Gilead

Balm of Gilead was established in 2013, almost by accident it would seem. At the re-awakening of the tallow-based skin care, a small family company stumbled upon the overwhelming benefit of tallow. The first product was simply made by necessity: a baby balm for a good friend's newborn. The result was almost too good to be true, it was unprecedented. We got to work immediately and began researching, extensively formulating and testing new products. Standards of purity were established. Carefully chosen ingredients were sourced. Sound, scientific protocols were established. And we began small, making everything by hand, carefully analyzing every batch. And the balm spoke for itself - as grassfed tallow comprised the base of every balm, our products are uniquely compatible with our skin, yielding a greater penetration and absorption. It was something people could feel the moment they tried our products. Today we're found in hundreds of stores, yet still adamant in maintaining our old ways - purity, detail, and care. We still manufacture everything in our own facility, meticulously proving every batch. We have also started a sister company distillery, Harvest Essentials in Kenya to bring ethically-sourced pure Frankincense and Sweet Myrrh Essential Oils - distiller-direct to you! This is a co-impact initiative with the local community creating sustainable income with fair-trade wages, to ensure our ethics and values start to finish. Thanks for stopping by!Read their story
