WILD-CRAFTED SKINCARE

Sustainably focused, Chaparral Theory blends the healing power of native Arizona herbs infused with saturated skincare, free from PUFAs, harmful chemicals, and fragrances that irritate and disrupt our skin's natural biome. We are radically changing skincare by simplifying modern practices, returning to our roots, and working with our skin, rather than against it. 

Beef Tallow for Skin

Gentle no essential oils tallow balm

Beef Tallow for Skin

Beef tallow is rich in vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids that make it incredibly nourishing for the skin. Its composition closely resembles the natural oils produced by our skin, making it an excellent moisturizer that deeply penetrates and hydrates the skin without clogging pores. Additionally, the presence of vitamins A, D, E, and K in beef tallow promotes skin health by supporting cell regeneration, reducing inflammation, and protecting against environmental damage.

What Our Customers Are Saying:

MUST-HAVE!

From the moment I incorporated this hydrosol into my skincare routine, I noticed a significant improvement in the clarity and texture of my skin... The results speak for themselves. With consistent use, I saw a visible reduction in the size and frequency of breakouts, leaving my complexion clearer and more radiant than ever before. The desert raindrops is a must-have for anyone battling acne woes.

-Susan C.

SOFT HAIR!

This stuff is MAGIC!! It makes my hair so soft and my daughters' too, and it's sooo good for detangling... I always use it for knots in my own hair and I spray then literally just brush through (magic)...I am so so thankful for this product - it is amazing and so effective.

-Kim H.

MULTI-PURPOSE!

I love this magnesium balm... I use it at night to help me sleep. I use it on my feet in the morning with socks to BO... Sounds crazy, but I have noticed a difference and I have tried several natural deodorants... I’ve also used it on sore muscles and noticed some relief. You won’t be sorry if you buy it!

-Mary

FAST RESULTS!

Immediate results, truly like nothing I’ve ever experienced. I’ve been using tallow-based skincare for about a year, but the additional herbs in this truly puts it over the top. I was struggling with some hormonal acne and this balm was so helpful in the healing process, and is now diminishing scarring faster than any product I’ve tried.
