The woods, bottled.
Backwoods combines our signature pumpable tallow blend with fir needle, black spruce, juniper berry, cypress, pine, cedarwood, frankincense, and vetiver for a body oil that smells like stepping straight into the forest.
We blend golden jojoba and meadowfoam seed oil with grass-fed suet tallow, grass-fed ghee, pasture-raised emu oil, cocoa butter, vitamin E, and local Texas beeswax. You get all the rich nourishment of traditional animal fats and butters in a silky body oil that pumps straight from the bottle, spreads easily, and leaves skin incredibly soft.
The scent is fresh and unmistakably woodsy. Crisp fir, spruce, juniper, and pine give it that cool evergreen opening, while cedarwood, frankincense, and vetiver bring in deeper, earthy notes.
Think pine needles under your boots, tall trees overhead, cool air, and that earthy smell you only get deep in the woods.
No synthetic fragrance. No filler oils. Just really good fats + real botanical scent.
How to use
How to use
Pump into your hands and massage generously into the skin anywhere you need extra moisture.
For the best hydration, apply right after a shower or bath while your skin is still slightly damp. The blend of tallow, ghee, emu oil, jojoba, meadowfoam, cocoa butter, and beeswax helps seal in that moisture and keep skin feeling soft long after application.
Use daily from neck to toes or anytime your skin feels dry. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more as needed.
Tip: Keep it next to the shower and apply before your skin has completely dried. This is our favorite way to use it.
Best used within 12 months.
Benefits
Benefits
Golden Jojoba Oil | Technically a liquid wax ester rather than a traditional oil, jojoba closely resembles components of the skin’s natural sebum. It helps soften the skin, reduce moisture loss, and gives our body oil its silky, easy-to-spread texture.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil | A lightweight and exceptionally stable plant oil with a unique long-chain fatty acid profile. Meadowfoam helps condition the skin and reduce moisture loss while contributing to the silky, smooth finish of the formula.
Grass-Fed Suet Tallow | Naturally rich in skin-compatible fatty acids, including oleic, stearic, and palmitic acids. Tallow provides rich emollient moisture that helps soften dry skin and support its protective lipid barrier.
Grass-Fed Ghee | A clarified butterfat with a naturally rich lipid profile. Ghee acts as an emollient, helping condition and soften dry skin while adding richness to our pumpable tallow blend.
Pasture-Raised Emu Oil | An animal-derived oil naturally rich in fatty acids, particularly oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids. Emu oil helps soften and condition dry skin while reducing moisture loss without an overly heavy or waxy finish.
Cocoa Butter | A deeply conditioning plant butter rich in saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Cocoa butter helps create an occlusive layer over the skin that slows moisture loss and supports softer, more supple skin.
Vitamin E | A lipid-soluble antioxidant that helps protect skin lipids from oxidative stress while conditioning the skin. It also helps support the oxidative stability of the oils in the formula.
Local Texas Beeswax | Helps form a protective, occlusive layer over the skin that slows transepidermal water loss and helps keep moisture from escaping.
Fir Needle Essential Oil | A fresh evergreen oil with a crisp, resinous aroma. Fir needle contains naturally occurring aromatic compounds including alpha-pinene and bornyl acetate and gives Backwoods one of its defining forest notes.
Black Spruce Essential Oil | Distilled from black spruce needles and branches, this aromatic oil has a fresh, slightly sweet evergreen scent that adds another layer to the forest profile.
Juniper Berry Essential Oil | Distilled from juniper berries, this botanical oil has a crisp, woody aroma with naturally occurring terpenes including alpha-pinene. It brings a fresh, almost gin-like sharpness to the blend.
Cypress Essential Oil | A fresh, woody evergreen oil that bridges the brighter pine notes with the deeper woods in Backwoods.
Pine Essential Oil | Gives Backwoods its familiar fresh-cut pine aroma. Pine's crisp, resinous scent is what makes this blend smell unmistakably like walking through the woods.
Cedarwood Essential Oil | A deeper, dry woody oil that grounds the brighter evergreen notes and adds warmth and depth to the scent.
Frankincense Essential Oil | Distilled from the resin of Boswellia trees, frankincense has a warm, resinous, slightly balsamic aroma that adds depth to the evergreen oils.
Vetiver Essential Oil | Distilled from vetiver roots, this deeply earthy, woody oil anchors the entire scent and gives Backwoods its grounding base.
Our Pumpable Tallow Blend | Traditional animal fats and rich butters are balanced with lightweight jojoba and meadowfoam to give you the nourishment of tallow-based skincare in a silky formula that can be pumped from a bottle and easily spread from neck to toes.

Why we love it
Why we love it
Backwoods is our woodsiest body oil, hands down. Fir, spruce, juniper, cypress, and pine make it fresh and green, while cedarwood, frankincense, and vetiver give it that deeper earthy smell underneath. And under all that forest goodness is our pumpable blend of tallow, ghee, emu oil, jojoba, meadowfoam, cocoa butter, vitamin E, and beeswax for seriously soft, moisturized skin.

Got this scent for my husband and the creamsicle one for me. He loved it. It smells amazing and very woodsy!
