Healthy skin needs lipids
Your outer skin barrier is built around lipids, including fatty acids. Tenfold starts with that simple idea: use rich, traditional fats instead of burying the formula under a long ingredient list.

Pork fat?
On your face?
Yes. Here’s why.
Healthy skin depends on healthy lipids. Regenerative pork lard brings a different balance of oleic, linoleic, palmitic and stearic acids than grass-fed beef tallow—which is exactly why we use both.
Made to melt on contact
Regenerative pork lard gives the balm a silkier, more supple feel. It melts quickly with body heat, spreads easily and leaves skin feeling conditioned rather than waxy or coated.
Why we blend it
Regenerative pork lard brings a softer, more unsaturated fatty-acid profile. Grass-fed beef tallow brings richness and structure. Together, they create the texture and lipid diversity Tenfold was built around.
Skin is built around lipids. So is Tenfold.
SHOP TENFOLD
I never planned to start a skincare company.
It started with a nursing cream for my wife.
When my wife was nursing, I wanted to make something simple enough to use around her and our babies—made from familiar ingredients I understood, without a long list of unnecessary extras.
That first cream sent me deeper into traditional animal fats. As we raised food, butchered our own animals and learned to use more of what they gave us, I stopped seeing lard and tallow as waste. Tenfold grew from that same idea: simple ingredients, traditional fats and products made for real families.
Tenfold began at home. That’s still how I want it to feel.
