The kit that earns its place in the pack

Every hiker deserves skincare that keeps up. Beef tallow is close to skin's own oils, so it absorbs clean and holds up outdoors. No DEET, no synthetic fragrance, no grease.

Start with Hiker's Friend to keep bugs and ticks off, then Trail Relief for the bites that get through. Add zinc Sun Balm, a hand cream for rope-worn palms, and a lip balm for wind and sun. Sleep Tight butter is the reward for tired legs.
