INSIDE THE FORMULA
Tallow from California grass-fed cows
Tallow has been used in traditional skin preparations for generations. Naturally rich in fatty acids, its lipid-rich composition makes it especially well suited to nourishing dry skin. It helps soften + condition while supporting the skin’s moisture barrier and reducing moisture loss—exactly what skin needs in dry, low-humidity climates.
Organic Arizona-grown Jojoba Oil
Jojoba is a lightweight liquid wax with a composition similar to skin’s natural sebum. It helps soften + condition without a heavy, greasy feel, making it well suited for dry, combination + blemish-prone skin.
Lanolin from Texas Grass-fed sheep
Naturally rich in waxy lipids, lanolin is a deeply conditioning emollient prized for its ability to soften dry, rough skin + help reduce moisture loss. Its rich, protective nature makes it especially suited to hardworking hands + weather-exposed skin.
Illinois Sourced Beeswax
Naturally rich in fatty acids + esters, beeswax forms a breathable protective layer on the skin that helps reduce moisture loss + keep skin feeling soft and conditioned. Especially useful for dry, weather-exposed skin, it makes an ideal addition to balms created for dry climates + cold winter weather.
A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Will it leave my hands feeling greasy?
This is a rich, concentrated balm, so a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount and massage it in well, especially over dry areas, knuckles + cuticles.
Why do you use both tallow + lanolin?
Tallow provides rich, nourishing moisture while lanolin helps condition dry, weather-exposed skin. Together, they create a concentrated balm especially suited to hardworking hands + dry climates.
How often can I use it?
As often as your hands need it. Keep it nearby after hand washing, before heading outdoors, or use a little more as part of your evening ritual.
Can I use it on my cuticles?
Absolutely. Massage a small amount into dry cuticles, knuckles + other stubborn dry spots whenever they need extra care.
Can I use it anywhere besides my hands?
Yes. Although it was created for hands, the concentrated balm works beautifully on small areas of rough, dry skin like elbows, knees + other weathered spots.
Does it contain added fragrance or essential oils?
No fragrance or essential oils are added to this formula. Because it contains natural lanolin, you may notice a subtle wool-like aroma. This is a normal characteristic of the ingredient and does not indicate spoilage. If you are highly sensitive to scents, please keep this in mind before ordering.
Is this a lotion?
No. Unlike a traditional lotion, this balm is water-free + highly concentrated. You only need a small amount, making it especially useful when regular hand lotion doesn't feel like enough.

Excellent product. Not greasy and is really helping my hands and feet heal the cracks. I am especially glad that unscented really means unscented. Thank you

Keeps my hands from drying out. Great moisturizer. Wish it came in travel size for traveling
Love it! Don't have to worry about it irritating my dry, mature skin.
I actually put this on my feet before bed and it provides a nice deep moisture through the night.

This hand cream is different than anything I've used before and that is a wonderful thing! It is light, not greasy, absorbs very well into the skin, and is truly unscented. As a lady who lives in Wyoming and can attest to how dry and cold the winters are, I'm no stranger to hand lotion and reapplying constantly. With this cream I can go most of the day without needing to apply it again. I take it everywhere with me and for the price I think it's an outstanding value.
Thank you so much for your review! - Edina (founder & maker)

I have been obsessed with the Ranch Hand tallow hand cream! I’ve been putting it over my tattoos and they look so much more fresh and bright! I can’t wait to see where else it can distribute its magic!
