Most of the products I make started with someone I love.

ELEVATE began with my mom. Her skin was getting incredibly dry, and I wanted to make something that would actually help.

Tallow was a natural place to start, but we quickly discovered that moisture was only half the equation. We wanted something that felt beautiful on the skin, too. Not heavy, greasy, or like wearing a layer of wax to bed.

So we got to work. Her feedback, her critiques, and a whole lot of tweaking until we created something we both loved.

The result? ELEVATE. A rich, whipped, waterless moisturizer made with grass-fed tallow from a small family farm in Ohio, mango butter, and carefully chosen botanical oils.

Deep moisture. Beautifully soft skin. No greasy aftermath.

Made for my mom. Now made for you. 💜

What’s Inside?

Ingredients: Grass-Fed Beef Tallow, Mango Butter, Prickly Pear Oil, Rosehip Oil, Vitamin E Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Blue Tansy Essential Oil, Bulgarian Rose Absolute, Lavender Essential Oil, Lotus Essential Oil.

Because ELEVATE is handcrafted with natural ingredients, its color and texture may vary slightly from batch to batch. That’s completely normal—and part of what makes each freshly made jar unique. 

How Do I Use It?

Warm a tiny amount between your fingertips, then gently massage it onto your face, neck, chest, hands, or anywhere that needs extra moisture.

Use it morning, evening, or whenever your skin feels dry. Start with less than you think you need—you can always add more.

For an extra moisture boost, apply after your facial mist or while your skin is still slightly damp.

Skin type: Suitable for all skin types, especially dry and very dry skin.

Shelf life: Use within 12–18 months. Store in a cool, dry place.

For external use only. Patch test before your first use and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

A little heat? No biggie.
Because ELEVATE is made with natural tallow and butters, it may soften or melt in high temperatures. Place it upright in the refrigerator until firm again. Its whipped appearance may change, but it can still be used normally.

How Long Will My Jar Last?

Glow Time: With regular facial use, the full-size 2 oz jar typically lasts approximately 2–3 months.

Using ELEVATE on larger areas of the body may mean you move through it a little faster. Either way, start small—a little goes a long, long way, my friend. 💜

What does ELEVATE smell like?

The original formula features blue tansy, Bulgarian rose, lavender, and lotus. Prefer your skincare without added essential oils? Shop ELEVATE Unscented →

What You'll Notice

  • Deep moisture that lasts
  • Soft, smooth, comfortable skin
  • A lighter feel than traditional tallow balms
  • A concentrated formula—a little goes a long way
  • Made for face + body
  • tallow from grass fed cows in field

    At the heart of ELEVATE is grass-fed beef tallow sourced from a small local family farm.

    It creates the rich, waterless foundation of the formula and helps dry skin feel cushioned, soft, and comfortably moisturized. Rather than leaving the tallow dense or waxy, I balance it with mango butter and botanical oils for a smoother, more wearable finish.

    Why it’s here: Concentrated, lasting moisture.

  • image of mango butter in a bowl

    Mango butter helps transform the rich tallow base into something softer and more refined.

    It gives ELEVATE structure without making it hard, improves the way the formula glides across the skin, and contributes to its velvety, whipped texture.

    Why it’s here: Softness, glide, and a beautifully smooth texture.

  • image of a prickly pear cactus at sunset

    Prickly pear oil brings a lighter touch to the formula.

    It adds silky slip, helps balance the richness of the tallow and butter, and leaves the skin looking supple and naturally luminous rather than overly shiny.

    Why it’s here: Lightweight conditioning and a smooth, elegant finish.

  • image of reship seed oil in a bowl

    Rosehip seed oil is a lightweight botanical oil valued for its naturally rich composition of fatty acids and antioxidant compounds. In ELEVATE, it helps soften the heavier base and contributes to a smooth, conditioned skin feel. 

    Why it’s here: To help skin feel soft, supple, and beautifully cared for.

  • beautiful image of a sunflower at sunset

    Sunflower seed oil adds fluidity and spreadability to the concentrated formula.

    It helps ELEVATE move easily across the skin, allowing a very small amount to cover more area while keeping the finish comfortable and balanced.

    Why it’s here: Lightweight glide and easy application.

  • Lavender was chosen for its long history in topical skincare and its studied skin-soothing and antioxidant properties.

    In ELEVATE, it supports the formula’s gentle, comforting skin feel while balancing the richer botanical ingredients. Its familiar aroma is subtle within the complete blend rather than presented as a lavender fragrance.

    Why it’s here: Skin-soothing support and botanical balance.

  • Bulgarian rose was selected for its naturally occurring aromatic compounds and studied antioxidant activity. Within ELEVATE, it complements the botanical oil blend and helps support skin that looks soft, conditioned, and radiant.

    The refined floral note is beautiful, but its inclusion began with the ingredient itself—not a desire to perfume the product.

    Why it’s here: Antioxidant support and skin-conditioning care.

  • Blue tansy contains naturally occurring chamazulene, a distinctive blue compound studied for antioxidant and skin-soothing activity. It was chosen to complement ELEVATE’s rich moisturizing base and help support skin that looks calm, comfortable, and beautifully cared for.

    Its fresh, herbaceous character is a natural part of the ingredient—not the reason it is in the formula.

    Why it’s here: Antioxidant support and a calm, comfortable-looking complexion.

  • There is a drop of lotus essential oil in every Ella Vatoür product—except those specifically marked No Essential Oils Added.

    It is a small but intentional signature: a symbol of resilience, renewal, and the beauty of continuing to rise through every season of life. In ELEVATE, blue lotus completes the botanical formula and connects it to the larger Ella Vatoür story.

    Why it’s here: A symbolic touch of renewal and the signature thread woven through Ella Vatoür.

ELEVATE: Product + Formulation FAQs

Where does the tallow in ELEVATE come from?

The grass-fed beef tallow in ELEVATE comes from a small family farm located about an hour away from us.

Knowing where our tallow comes from matters. It gives us a more transparent, traceable source for one of the most important ingredients in the formula rather than relying on anonymous, mass-sourced tallow.

Why is ELEVATE blended with oils and butters?

Because a great tallow moisturizer requires more than simply putting rendered tallow into a jar.

Pure tallow can feel firm, waxy, heavy, or difficult to spread. ELEVATE combines grass-fed tallow with mango butter and carefully selected botanical oils to refine the texture, glide, melting point, and overall finish.

The goal was not to use the greatest amount of tallow possible. The goal was to create a balanced formula that feels beautiful on dry skin.

What skin types is ELEVATE best for?

ELEVATE is best suited to dry, very dry, seasonally dry, mature, or moisture-depleted skin.

It may also be used on isolated dry areas such as the cheeks, hands, elbows, knees, legs, or feet.

Those with very oily, acne-prone, or easily congested skin should begin with a small patch test and use only a tiny amount.

Will ELEVATE feel heavy or greasy?

ELEVATE is rich, but it was specifically formulated to avoid the unusually dense, waxy feel associated with many traditional tallow balms.

Because it is waterless and concentrated, using too much can create a heavier finish. Begin with a very small amount, warm it between your fingertips, and allow it to melt into the skin before deciding whether you need more.

How quickly will my skin feel different?

Many people notice that their skin feels softer, smoother, and more comfortable immediately after applying ELEVATE.

How your skin responds over time will depend on your skin type, the level of dryness, where you use it, and how consistently you apply it. ELEVATE is designed to support comfortable, moisturized skin through regular use rather than promise an overnight transformation.

Can beef tallow be used on my face?

Yes. Beef tallow can be used on the face, particularly by people with dry, very dry, or moisture-depleted skin.

Because tallow is rich, begin with a tiny amount and observe how your skin responds. Those with oily, acne-prone, or easily congested skin may prefer to use it only on isolated dry areas.

Patch testing is always a smart first step.

Will beef tallow clog my pores?

Tallow may clog pores for some people, particularly those with oily, acne-prone, or congestion-prone skin.

There is no honest way to guarantee that a rich balm will never contribute to a breakout. Your skin type, the amount applied, the complete formula, and the other products in your routine can all affect how your skin responds.

Begin with a very small amount and discontinue use if you notice persistent congestion or irritation.
