Mojave Rain - The Desert Healer
For the mother who thrives, even in the harshest seasons.
Creosote, known as the desert’s healer, survives where others wither, carrying the pungent scent that awakens after a desert rainstorm.
It mirrors her resilience and ability to guide her family through storms with grit and grace, reminding her that she doesn’t always have to hold it all.
Hand-poured with wildcrafted creosote, organic dry-rendered beef suet tallow, and golden jojoba, Mojave Rain soothes weather-worn, inflamed, or stressed skin.
Free from essential oils and synthetic fragrance. Made only with what nourishes and heals.
Follow your own intuition when using it on your little ones. Due to its amazing healing properties, creosote bush was used for centuries by the Indigenous tribes of the Southwestern United States for many skin conditions. However, because there is limited modern research done on its safety for children, use your own discernment.
Crafted once a month in small, limited pours.

The One-Balm Skincare Routine
All you need for healthy, radiant skin is a good tallow balm, a soft washcloth, and warm water.
The Daily Routine
Step #1: Cleanse - With clean hands, smooth a small amount of balm over your face and neck. Massage slowly with your hands or a gua sha, releasing tension and encouraging circulation.
Step #2: Exfoliate – Lay a warm, damp washcloth over your skin to open pores and gently exfoliate. Wipe away the balm, carrying away impurities and leaving your face refreshed and radiant.
Step #3: Nourish + Protect – While skin is still slightly damp, apply a light veil of balm to lock in hydration and support your skin’s natural barrier.
We recommend doing this in the morning, and then at night skipping the balm and just gently wiping your face with a warm, damp washcloth or rinsing it with warm water and patting dry.
A Note on Application
If your skin feels greasy after applying, it likely means you’ve used too much. Remember, a little goes a long way. Allow your skin to absorb what it needs, then gently blot away any excess with a clean, dry washcloth.
The Weekly Routine - for deep renewal
Step #1: Cleanse – With clean hands, smooth a generous layer of balm over your face and neck. Massage slowly with your hands or a gua sha, releasing tension and inviting circulation.
Step #2: Renewal Mask – Leave the balm on as you slip into a warm bath or shower. The steam softens your skin and opens your pores, allowing the balm’s herbs and ancestral fats to sink deeply into the layers beneath. This helps rebuild your barrier, ease inflammation, and deliver deep nourishment.
Step #3: Exfoliate – After your soak, press a warm, damp washcloth over your skin to gently wipe away the balm, carrying away impurities and leaving your face refreshed and radiant.
Step #4: Nourish + Protect – While your skin is still dewy, smooth on a light veil of balm to lock in hydration and protect your skin's natural barrier.
Ingredients & Benefits
Organic Grass-Fed & Finished Beef Suet Tallow, dry-rendered
Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow mirrors the skin’s natural oils, allowing it to absorb deeply and effortlessly. It strengthens the skin barrier, locks in moisture, and nourishes without clogging pores.
Cold-Pressed Golden Jojoba Oil Simmondsia chinensis
This lightweight oil mimics the skin’s sebum, offering balanced hydration that never feels heavy. High in vitamin E, B-complex, zinc, and copper, jojoba helps repair cells, support collagen, and shield the skin from oxidative stress.
Wildcrafted Creosote Larrea tridentata
Revered in desert herbal traditions, creosote is a resilient plant long known as the desert’s pharmacy. Rich in compounds that bring harmony to the skin:
- NDGA (Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid): A rare antioxidant that defends against oxidative stress, supporting a healthy, resilient complexion.
- Flavonoids: Provide gentle anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits to ease irritation and encourage skin repair.
- Lignans: Naturally antimicrobial, strengthening the skin’s defenses against harmful bacteria and supporting healing.
- Saponins: Offer mild cleansing properties that refresh the skin without stripping its natural balance.
Pure Beeswax Cera alba
A natural humectant that locks in moisture while creating a breathable shield to protect skin from environmental stress.

• Acne-prone, dry, cracked, or weather-worn skin
• Complexions exposed to harsh environments (sun, wind, pollutants)
• Those needing intensive repair and renewal (bug bites, stings, burns, rashes)
Brings deep repair to inflamed, stressed, or depleted skin while helping rebuild strength and resilience over time. Leaves the complexion feeling steady, grounded, and revived.
Scent
The fragrance of Mojave Rain captures the pungent essence of a desert storm, earthy and resinous.
Texture
A rich, creamy balm that softens at your touch, Mojave Rain melts effortlessly into the skin. It leaves behind a protective, breathable layer and is deeply moisturizing without a greasy feel, like the quiet nourishment of rain soaking into desert earth.
Directions
Begin by taking a small amount of balm with clean, dry fingers. Warm it between your hands if needed, then smooth onto clean, slightly damp skin (face or body). A little goes a long way.
For sensitive skin, start gently: perform a patch test first, and during your initial weeks of use, apply only a couple of times per week. Gradually increase as your skin adjusts.
Tallow balm is waterless skincare, highly concentrated, and designed to seal in hydration, not provide it. For best results, apply to skin that is dampened with a hydrating mist or warm washcloth. This allows the balm to absorb more deeply, leaving your skin soft, glowing, and restored.
Please note: When transitioning to tallow-based care, your skin may experience a natural adjustment period that can last a few weeks. Give the balm at least 90 days before evaluating results. Above all, trust your intuition and adjust usage in a way that feels right for your skin.
A Note on Application
If your skin feels greasy after applying, it likely means you’ve used too much. Remember, a little goes a long way. Allow your skin to absorb what it needs, then gently blot away any excess with a clean, dry washcloth.
Use with caution during pregnancy & breastfeeding.
Shelf-Life
For best results, use within 18–24 months. If preferred, you may store your balm in the refrigerator to extend its life for up to three years.
To keep your balm fresh, always use clean, dry hands or a dedicated spoon to scoop from the jar, and avoid introducing water or moisture. This simple care ensures your balm remains pure and potent.
Variables
Because each batch of Mojave Rain is crafted with earth-sourced ingredients, you may notice slight variations in texture, color, or scent. These shifts are a natural reflection of the seasons and the living plants themselves, a gentle reminder that true nourishment is never mass-produced.
Your balm may also arrive with either a gold or black metal lid, depending on availability. Small-batch sourcing brings these subtle differences, but the integrity and quality of what’s inside remain unchanged.
I know the point of the balm isn’t the smell but the smell is definitely a plus! It smells like a desert rainstorm😍. Here’s what you get with this stuff, PREMIUM natural ingredients that work. I personally know that the maker gathers the creosote from the Arizona desert by hand and blends it into an effective healing tallow balm. A little goes a long way and it is good for any skin irritation, cracked knuckles and the occasional flare-up of Eczema in my case!!!
Mojave Rain Botanical Tallow Balm is a little desert magic in a jar. With its creosote-infused scent and lush moisturizing feel, it leaves your skin super soft and has that fresh, earthy vibe. Definitely a unique and effective natural balm.
I would recommend this product to everyone.
Excellent product, all natural and smells so good. My skin is glowing and I'm in my 50s
This has been amazing for my eczema and dry patches. It soaks in nicely, keeps my skin soft, and smells like desert rain. Beef tallow is loaded with vitamins and healthy fats that are really close to what our skin makes naturally, so it actually helps heal and protect instead of just sitting on top. My skin feels calmer and more nourished every time I use it.
I truly love this product! Mojave Rain has a revitalizing desert rain scent. It feels light on my skin and has become my go-to facial moisturizer. The best part? It works wonders on my son’s eczema - at the first sign of a rash, I apply it, and his skin improves overnight. He no longer needs medicated ointments, which is such a relief!
