Bioactives are naturally occurring compounds that have a targeted effect on the skin at a cellular level — helping to repair, protect, and restore balance. Unlike basic moisturizers that simply hydrate, bioactives actively work with your skin’s biology to create visible, lasting results. A few of our most used ingredients are:

• Astaxanthin – A powerful antioxidant derived from microalgae, astaxanthin is known to be up to 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C. It helps protect the skin from free radical damage, reduces signs of aging, and supports a healthy, youthful glow.
  
• Bakuchiol Oil – A plant-based alternative to retinol, bakuchiol delivers similar age-defying benefits without irritation. It helps smooth fine lines, improve elasticity, and even skin tone — while being gentle enough for daily use.
• Frankincense – An ancient resin revered for centuries, frankincense calms inflammation, supports skin cell renewal, and helps improve tone and texture. Its grounding aroma also makes it as soothing for the mind as it is for the skin.
  

Together, these bioactives bring potency and intention to our skincare, working in harmony with ancestral ingredients like grass-fed tallow to deeply nourish and repair.

No. Our formulas are non-comedogenic and designed to balance the skin. Grass-fed tallow and carefully chosen oils like jojoba mimic the skin’s natural oils, supporting clarity rather than congestion.

Yes. One of our biggest priorities in creating Talø was having skincare safe enough for our daughters to use. Our formulas are gentle, clean, and free from harmful chemicals.

We never use synthetic fragrance. Any aroma you notice comes naturally from the ingredients themselves — like the grounding warmth of frankincense or the subtle nuttiness of plant oils. This keeps our formulas gentle for sensitive skin while offering a sensory, spa-like experience.
