Resting Beef Face: Bold Skincare Born in Alberta
Skincare that’s good for your face. And made from a cow. Yeah, really. 🐄
Hi, I’m the founder, formulator, designer, packager, social media manager, shipping department, and unpaid intern behind Resting Beef Face—a 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 industry’s BS. The overpriced serums. The 14-step routines. The ingredient lists that read like a science fair project. The “clean” skincare that wasn’t 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 time—not 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.
That’s 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 stuff—skin-loving lipids and fatty acids, (the kind your skin actually recognizes). It’s deeply moisturizing, barrier-repairing, and shockingly gentle. Humans have used it for generations—until the beauty industry decided “lab-made” was sexier.
We’re 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?
We’re not here to blend in—we’re here to challenge everything the beauty industry made us believe:
-
That more ingredients = better results
-
That “natural” 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 don’t buy it. And we know you don’t 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 “clean beauty” nonsense.
Just honest skincare that works—and a brand that doesn’t 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, I’m not doing this alone. My husband is my design guru and chauffeur extraordinaire, driving me to markets across the province and helping bring the brand’s bold look and feel to life. Whether it’s 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 muscle—helping to turn a one-woman vision into a growing, thriving brand.
Not your average skincare brand.
We’re for the ingredient nerds, the label-readers, the ones who’ve tried everything and still haven’t found the one. We’re for the people who want fewer steps, fewer breakouts, and a skincare routine that doesn’t make them late for work.
We’re for the unapologetic, the skeptical, the curious—and 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 bird—with great skin.
