Root No. 8

Some moisturizers sit on top of your skin. Root No. 8 works with it. This nutrient-dense, melt-on-contact balm is built around grass-fed beef tallow — an ancestral skincare ingredient whose lipid profile nearly mirrors human sebum — so your skin recognizes it, absorbs it, and uses it efficiently.

Blended with rare botanical superfoods including Nilotica Shea Butter, Amazonian Sacha Inchi Oil, and Kokum Butter, Root No. 8 delivers deep barrier repair, lasting hydration, and a calm, luminous finish for dry, sensitive, and combination skin.

Key Benefits:

• Deep barrier repair — Grass-Fed Tallow is rich in fat-soluble Vitamins A, D, E & K; rapidly absorbed for deep nourishment
• Superior moisture — Nilotica Shea Butter (East African variety) has a silkier texture and higher nutrient profile than standard shea
• Reduces redness — Sacha Inchi Oil, one of the highest plant-based sources of Omega-3, visibly calms inflammation
• Non-comedogenic finish — Kokum Butter stabilizes the formula and leaves a breathable, soft-matte finish
• Fragrance-free — ideal for dry, sensitive, combination, and compromised skin

How to Use Root No. 8:

1. Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips until it transforms into a silky oil
2. Press gently into clean skin
3. Use as a daily moisturizer, overnight treatment, makeup primer, or targeted balm for dry elbows and cuticles
