Introducing
STERABALM.

How does it hydrate if there's no water in it?

Water in a moisturizer evaporates — it gives you a fleeting feeling of hydration, not lasting results. STERABALM works by replenishing the lipids your skin barrier is actually made of, so it can hold onto its own moisture rather than borrowing from the product. Tallow rebuilds, beeswax seals. The hydration stays because the barrier works. See the full science →

Is it safe for my skin?

Yes. Grass-fed beef fat has been used in skincare for centuries — and for good reason. Its fatty acid profile is remarkably close to our own skin's sebum, which is why it absorbs readily and doesn't feel foreign or heavy. Most people with sensitive skin find it one of the few things that doesn't react.

Can I use it if I have acne-prone or combination skin?

Tallow itself is non-comedogenic and well tolerated by acne-prone skin — many people find it actually helps calm and balance. Many use it as a make-up primer with excellent results.

Can I use it if I have dry skin?

The founder's own protocol for STERABALM: apply a small amount of coconut oil first, then any STERABALM over the top. The coconut oil acts as a stable base layer that optimises absorption and buffers the formula — a pairing that works beautifully for dry skin too. Patch test before full use.

What does low-PUFA mean, and why does it matter?

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are the least stable fats — they oxidise quickly in the bottle and on skin, generating free radicals that can stress the skin barrier over time. Most conventional moisturisers rely heavily on high-PUFA oils like sunflower, rosehip, or soybean, which is why they require synthetic preservatives and antioxidant stabilisers just to stay shelf-stable. STERABALM's two base ingredients — grass-fed tallow and organic beeswax — are naturally low in PUFAs and high in saturated and monounsaturated fats, the same stable lipid classes your skin barrier is built from. No synthetic stabilisers needed. No oxidising fats deposited on the skin. Just a formula that stays stable on its own — and works with your barrier rather than against it.

Can I use it on my baby?

NO.2 GLOW is specifically formulated with babies in mind — no essential oils, and a high saturated fat content that closely mirrors infant skin. It's also used by pregnant and nursing mothers. As with anything new, do a small patch test first.

How long does one tube last?

With average daily use on face, neck, and hands, most users find a tube lasts several months. Because it's undiluted, a little goes a long way — far more so than a water-based cream where you're applying mostly water.

Is it vegan?

No — and we're upfront about that. STERABALM contains grass-fed beef tallow and organic beeswax, both animal-derived. We believe these are among the most effective and skin-compatible ingredients available, and that they're ethically sourced. That's a values call we've made consciously.

Can I use it over or under makeup?

Yes, both. STERABALM works as a makeup primer, worn under foundation for a smooth base, or applied over makeup to set and add a natural glow. It's non-comedogenic and won't interfere with application either way.

Where is it made?

Manufactured in Tasmania, Australia — sourced and produced at origin, from the same pastures that supply our grass-fed tallow. Australian orders ship directly from our manufacturer. US orders are fulfilled from California, both by DOPURE™, a brand of Profit from Precision LLC.

Is this a relaunch?

Yes. STERABALM took a hiatus while the founder focused on other commitments. We're back with limited stock at 16% off Regular Price as a founding offer — same formula, same sourcing, nothing changed.
