The Vanilla Balm combines grass-fed tallow with warm vanilla notes for rich everyday skincare. Developed for skin exposed to dryness, weather and frequent washing.
Developed where skin faces the elements. Proven through real use.
At Hayes Meadow our skincare is shaped by practical use and real exposure. Our balms are developed for skin facing everyday stress — weather, frequent washing, outdoor work and dry environments.
Core benefits
• Deep hydration
• Supports skin barrier function
• Compatible with skin lipids
• Helps improve skin resilience
• Suitable for adults and children
Why it works
Grass‑fed tallow contains fatty acids similar to those naturally present in healthy skin. These lipids help support hydration, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce moisture loss.
Rose hip oil is naturally high in linoleic acid and lower in oleic acid, helping balance the rich protective nature of tallow. This improves absorption while supporting skin comfort and clarity.
Together these ingredients create a lipid structure comparable to the skin’s natural barrier fats such as ceramides and protective lipids.
Beeswax helps seal hydration while allowing the skin to breathe.
Day performance
Provides daily hydration and barrier support for dry or exposed skin.
Suitable for:
Daily face and body care
Hands exposed to washing or outdoor work
Dry or sensitive skin
Areas needing extra protection
Night performance
Used as the final step in your evening routine, this balm helps seal hydration and support overnight skin recovery.
Because of its protective lipid structure it works well as a nourishing night balm helping:
Reduce overnight moisture loss
Support skin barrier repair
Protect from environmental stress
Lock in previous skincare steps
Apply after serums or lighter moisturisers to help seal in active ingredients.
Ingredients
Organic Tallow
Rose Hip Oil (Rosa Rubiginosa Seed Oil)

Quality
Our tallow is carefully purified so despite containing a high percentage of tallow the balm does not smell of beef.
Rosehip oil helps carry the tallow into the skin improving absorption and reducing surface heaviness.

Paraffin
Sulphates
Parabens
Phthalates
Mineral oils
Synthetic preservatives
Use
Apply a small amount and massage into skin until absorbed. A little goes a long way.
Storage
Because we use no stabilisers or emulsifiers, texture may vary with temperature. This is normal for natural formulations and does not affect performance.
