A crème so fundamental, the skin recognizes it as its own…

Essence was made for the skin that wants to come home to something simple. When nourishment matters more than novelty, when the day calls for one true thing instead of many. This is the crème that started it all, the original formula Undone Botanicals was built around.

Grass-fed tallow forms the heart of this crème, infused with vanilla bean on its own, then brought together with a separate vanilla bean jojoba infusion and whipped into one, a double-fold infusion that builds a deeper, more concentrated warmth than either infusion could hold alone. Tallow is structurally similar to the skin's own sebum, which is why it absorbs so readily and leaves nothing greasy behind. Benzoin joins as a resinous, protective layer, long used in traditional medicine as a skin protectant, lending its balsamic depth to the crème.

This is the crème you return to when your skin wants the original. Simple, deeply nourishing, and exactly what it needs.

Product Information

Essence is a soft, whipped crème created for daily use on skin that wants consistent nourishment, balance, and a steady sense of comfort. The texture is smooth and rich, melting easily into the skin with an even, luminous finish.

A note on tallow: as a living, whole ingredient, tallow responds to its environment. Temperature changes may cause a natural shift in texture, a slight softening in warmth or firming in the cold. This is not a flaw. It is the nature of a real, unadulterated ingredient. Simply warm a small amount between your fingertips and it will return to its characteristic creamy, silky consistency.

Because tallow is a pure animal fat with no synthetic preservatives, moisture is its only true enemy. Always apply with clean, completely dry fingertips or a dry spatula. Even a small amount of water introduced into the jar can compromise the integrity of the formula over time. Keep the jar sealed and stored away from the steam and humidity of a bathroom when possible.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Best enjoyed within 6 months for full vibrancy.

For external use only. Discontinue use if any irritation appears.

If you are pregnant, nursing, or under medical care, please consult your practitioner before use.

how to use

Begin with clean, damp skin. Take a pearl-sized amount of Essence onto completely dry fingertips and warm it gently between your hands before bringing it to your face. Press softly into the skin, then smooth outward across the face, neck, and décolleté. A little goes further than you expect. Use morning and evening, or whenever your skin is asking for something more. For an added layer of hydration, mist the skin first with a botanical hydrosol before applying.
