Your Skin Deserves Answers

If you don't know what you're putting on your skin, it's best to just assume the worst these days. Did you know that the average American consumes a credit card's worth of plastics each week?! Enough is enough, so we at Willamette Woods & Wellness are paving a new way forward. With our products, not only will you KNOW what you're putting on your skin, but you'll be able to name every ingredient in a single breath

Body Butters:

Every body butter we make has two base ingredients: 100% Grass-fed Beef Tallow & Organic Jojoba Oil. - that's it! 

From there, we can add scents 2 different ways: Pure essential Oils, or direct infusion.

Here's how we add your favorite scents to our signature Body Butters:

  • Unscented: Nothing! Our unscented Body Butter has zero scent added. Making it perfect for the most sensitive of skin, or outdoors women/men who want to avoid loud scents alerting animals of their location.
  • Vanilla: We directly infuse organic Madagascar vanilla bean into our tallow during the rendering process, creating a delicious sugar-cookie-like scent. Of all our scented body butters, this is the most gentle on the skin
  • Cedar Sage: We add pure essential oils to impart a woodsy and herbariums aroma that keeps you feeling grounded and one with nature. Essential Oils include: Cedarwood (Cedarus Atlantica/Juniperus Virginian) and Sage (Salvia Sclarea)
  • Eucalyptus Mint: We add pure essential oils to impart a minty aroma that will wake you up and energize you through the day. Essential Oils Include: Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus Radiata), Spearmint (Mentha Viridis).
  • Orange Clove: We add pure essential Oils to impart a festive spicy scent with a spritz of citrus, perfect for curling up by the fire next to a nice book. Essential Oils Include Sweet Orange (Citrus Aurantium), Clove (Eugenia Caryophyllus)
  • Lavender: We add pure essential Oils to impart a relaxing floral scent, perfect for bedtime to promote relaxation and a sense of calmness. 

Every body butter we add essential oils to is scented conservatively (less than 3% essential oils) to avoid irritation to especially sensitive skin,

Face Cream:

Our signature face cream is specially formulated for the face. We replaced the jojoba oil found in our body butters with:

  • Organic Castor Oil: which helps control acne, combats wrinkles, sooths irritation, and is a natural anti-inflammatory.
  • Organic Rosehip Oil: which help keep your skin fresh and healthy by promoting new skin cell growth
  • Organic Vitamin-E Oil: which provides an additional layer of moisturization to the skin, calms eczema, and even reduces hyperpigmentation in the skin!

We scent our face cream naturally by steeping our tallow in dried chamomile flowers, imparting a subtle floral note. It's about more than just the scent though - Chamomile is another natural anti-inflammatory which helps with acne, irritation, and even provides anti-oxidants to the skin!

Soap:

We make our soap by mixing & saponifying 100% grass-fed beef tallow with olive, coconut, and castor oils. Castor oil is a key ingredient in this process, as it provides the suds and bubbles you love and need from your soap!

We then scent each of our three scents with a blend of pure essential oils:

  • Midnight Woods: Cedarwood: (Cedrus Atlantica/Juniperus Virginian), Lavender: (Lavandula Angustifolia), Patchouli: (Pogostemon Cablin), Frankincense: (Boswellia Carterii)
  • Minty Meadows: Eucalyptus: (Eucalyptus Radiata) & Spearmint: (Mentha Viridis).
  • Lavender: Lavender: (Lavandula Angustifolia)

Lip Balm:

Lip Balm can't just be hydrating and yummy-tasting—it also needs to protect your lips and lock in hydration. That's why, along with 100% grass-fed beef tallow, we add beeswax for a protective barrier, coconut oil for deep moisture, and organic vitamin-E oil to soothe and heal chapped skin.

Have you ever smelled our vanilla body butters and wished you could eat it? Well, our lip balm goes through the same natural infusion process with organic Madagascar vanilla bean, creating that delicious sugar-cookie-like scent. While we wouldn't recommend taking a bite out of it, that irresistible vanilla aroma can live on your lips all day long, keeping them soft, protected, and subtly scented.

 

At Willamette Woods & Wellness, we're reclaiming skincare with pure, traceable ingredients rooted in nature—no hidden plastics, no mystery chemicals, just the wholesome power of grass-fed tallow and organic essentials. From our gently scented body butters and soothing face cream to our bubbly soaps and protective lip balm, every product empowers you to nourish your skin confidently, knowing exactly what's in it and where it comes from. Ditch the doubt, embrace transparency, and join us in this clean, sustainable revolution—your skin (and the planet) will thank you.
