Shelter Skin No.1 Solar Tallow Body Butter
Sweet Orange, Vanilla, Bergamot & Soft Jasmine
An intensely nourishing body butter that restores softness, strengthens the skin barrier, and delivers lasting hydration from morning to night.
› The Scent - Solar is a bright, citrus-forward scent softened by delicate florals and grounded with warm, resinous depth. Sweet orange leads with a fresh, sunlit clarity, while jasmine adds a soft, petal-life layer that gently lingers on the skin. Bergamot brings balance, and a base of amyris and copaiba creates a smooth, rounded finish. The result is a scent that feels uplifting yet calm - a subtle, mood-boosting presence that wears close to the skin and brightens the day.
No. 1 Solar Tallow Body Butter is formulated to deeply nourish the skin while supporting long-lasting hydration and softness.
Made with 100% organic, grass-fed and grass-finished tallow, the formula delivers essential vitamins and faty acids that help reinforce the skin barrier and improve overall texture. Organic jojoba oil enhances absorption, allowing the butter to melt effortlessly and leave skin smooth, supple, and balanced.
Solar is scented entirely with essential oils, carefully selected and balanced for skin compatibility. Bright citrus is softened by delicate florals and grounded by gentle base notes, creating a scent that feels uplifting, warm, and easy to wear.
The result is skin that feels soft, resilient, and comfortably hydrated — with a scent that feels like a brighter, more energizing version of your everyday ritual.
KEY INGREDIENTS
- Organic 100% Grass-fed, Grass-finished Tallow - Shelter's tallow is sourced from organic, 100% grass-fed, grass-finished cows raised on small, regenerative farms. It's dry rendered and carefully filtered for purity, resulting in a clean, nutrient-dense ingredient that closely supports the skin barrier.
- Organic Jojoba Oil - Shelter's organic golden jojoba oil is cold-pressed and naturally rich in essential fatty acids. Its structure closely resembles the skin's natural sebum, allowing it to absorb easily while supporting balanced hydration.
- Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil - Shelter's organic sweet orange essential oil is steam-distilled from the peel of fresh oranges to preserve its bright, naturally occurring aroma. It delivers a bright, uplifting citrus note that brings a fresh, sunlit quality to the formula while remaining gentle on the skin.
HOW TO USE
Use the included spatula to scoop a small amount and warm between your hands. Massage into skin using slow, circular motions, focusing on areas that need deeper hydration.

We recommend storing your jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because this body butter is made only with natural ingredients, the texture may soften in warmer environments and firm up in cooler temperatures.
Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or humidity, and keep water out of the jar to maintain freshness.
Because this formula is completely natural, softening can happen during warm-weather shipping. If your jar arrives warm or softened, place it in the fridge for 30 minutes, then let it return to room temperature before use.
A change in texture does not affect the quality of the product.
The tallow is dry rendered and double filtered for maximum purity and quality. Dry rendering uses low, controlled heat without added water, helping preserve the integrity of the tallow and create a cleaner, more stable final product.

The texture is best compared to a soft, whipped butter. It melts easily into the skin on contact and leaves skin feeling nourished, smooth, and hydrated.
Because it's an ambient formula, the texture may feel softer in warmer temperatures and firmer in cooler ones.
Tallow closely resembles the skin's natural moisture barrier, allowing it to absorb well when used in the right amount. Start with a small amount and build as desired. Applied lightly, it will fully absorb. Applied more generously, it can leave a dewy, glazed finish on the skin.
*Note that if you use a lot on your arms, you may see excess in your elbow crease. This is entirely normal and you can easily rub the excess into your skin.
"Natural fragrance" is an unregulated term that can refer to a blend of aromatic compounds, often without full ingredient transparency.
Shelter formulates with pure botanicals (also known as essential oils) and list them transparently. Each botanical is selected for scent, skin compatibility, and overall formula balance. This allows them to create a natural scent profile without synthetic fragrance or undisclosed fragrance blends.
Shelter also prioritizes organic sourcing and specific extraction methods, including steam-distilled and cold-pressed oils, depending on what is most stable and appropriate for the skin.
Because Shelter uses only essential oils and keep the fragrance load below 2% in their body butter, Solar is designed to wear close to the skin. It offers a subtle, natural scent that evolves throughout the day rather than overpowering.
Absolutely! We recommend using the body butter at night for deep nourishment and repair overnight, and the body oil during the day for lightweight, breathable hydration.
If layering both, apply the body butter first, then finish with the body oil for an added glow and enhanced scent. Together, they create a complete ritual for hydrated, balanced skin.
While formulated for the body, it can be used on the face depending on your skin type. Tallow is rich in fatty acids and may be comedogenic for some, so we recommend patch testing or limiting use to the body if you are acne-prone.
When stored properly, your jar will last up to 6 months. Tallow is naturally stable, but we recommend avoiding the introduction of water or moisture into the jar to maintain quality.
