Resting Beef Face: Bold Skincare Born in Alberta
Skincare thatâs good for your face. And made from a cow. Yeah, really. đ
Hi, Iâm the founder, formulator, designer, packager, social media manager, shipping department, and unpaid intern behind Resting Beef Faceâa one-woman show built on guts, grit, and grass-fed tallow.
So why did I start a skincare brand with a name that raises eyebrows and starts conversations?
Because like a lot of us, I got tired of the beauty industryâs BS. The overpriced serums. The 14-step routines. The ingredient lists that read like a science fair project. The âcleanâ skincare that wasnât really clean. And the constant pressure to smile while doing it all.
I wanted simple, effective skincare made with real ingredients that had actually stood the test of timeânot just the latest marketing trend. And I wanted to create something with a little bite. Something that challenges the polished, picture-perfect beauty narrative and makes space for people who like their skincare honest, effective, and maybe just a little weird.
Thatâs where tallow comes in.
Wait⌠Tallow? Like⌠from a cow?
Yup. Beef fat. Rendered. Whipped. And amazing for your skin.
Grass-fed tallow is loaded with the good stuffâskin-loving lipids and fatty acids, (the kind your skin actually recognizes). Itâs deeply moisturizing, barrier-repairing, and shockingly gentle. Humans have used it for generationsâuntil the beauty industry decided âlab-madeâ was sexier.
Weâre bringing it back, without the shame or the beige packaging.
So what makes us different?
Besides the fact that we named a skincare brand Resting Beef Face?
Weâre not here to blend inâweâre here to challenge everything the beauty industry made us believe:
-
That more ingredients = better results
-
That ânaturalâ has to mean bland
-
That you need 6 products to do what 1 balm can do
-
That taking care of your skin has to look a certain way
We donât buy it. And we know you donât either.
So we keep things simple, smart, and full of personality. Our products are made with just a handful of high-quality ingredients you can actually pronounce. No fillers. No fluff. No performative âclean beautyâ nonsense.
Just honest skincare that worksâand a brand that doesnât take itself too seriously.
Our Story
Handmade in Alberta. Built with intention. Powered by teamwork.
Every balm, butter, and salve is handcrafted in small batches right here in Alberta using local, grass-fed tallow and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. We're proud to support regenerative farms, local suppliers, and fellow makers whenever possible.
While I wear many hats, Iâm not doing this alone. My husband is my design guru and chauffeur extraordinaire, driving me to markets across the province and helping bring the brandâs bold look and feel to life. Whether itâs brainstorming new packaging ideas or loading up the car for a long day, his support keeps Resting Beef Face rolling.
Together with friends, family, and our local business community, this network is the muscle behind the muscleâhelping to turn a one-woman vision into a growing, thriving brand.
Not your average skincare brand.
Weâre for the ingredient nerds, the label-readers, the ones whoâve tried everything and still havenât found the one. Weâre for the people who want fewer steps, fewer breakouts, and a skincare routine that doesnât make them late for work.
Weâre for the unapologetic, the skeptical, the curiousâand yes, the ones who still have questions about rubbing beef fat on their face. (Fair. Try it anyway.)
The TL;DR?
Resting Beef Face is clean skincare with a dirty sense of humor.
Built on tallow. Backed by real ingredients.
Proudly woman-owned. Fiercely independent.
And absolutely here to flip the beauty industry the birdâwith great skin.
