Egg Yolk Infused Oil
Egg yolk oil is one of the most unique ingredients we work with—because it’s not manufactured in a factory or created through shortcuts. Ours is 100% natural, hand-made, and produced through a lengthy, careful process that transforms nutrient-rich egg yolks into a concentrated, skin-loving oil. The result is a deeply nourishing, bio-compatible ingredient that feels “made for” skin, lips, and hair—especially when paired with tallow.
Why we love it in tallow formulas
Egg yolk oil is naturally rich in lipids, phospholipids (lecithin), cholesterol, and fat-soluble vitamins—components that closely support the skin’s barrier and help formulas feel smoother and more conditioning. It also naturally contains antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which help defend against oxidative stress and support a healthier-looking complexion over time.
WHAT EGG YOLK INFUSED OIL IS
Egg yolk oil is a natural oil extracted from egg yolks containing triglycerides, phospholipids (like lecithin), cholesterol, and naturally occurring nutrients such as biotin, folate, and vitamins A and D, along with various B vitamins. Because it comes from the yolk (not the white), it is often described as being protein-free compared to whole egg ingredients and is widely used in traditional and modern skincare for its conditioning feel.
KEY BENEFITS
Nutrient-Rich
Egg yolk oil is packed with essential nutrients that help support healthier-looking skin and stronger hair, including biotin, vitamins A & D, and B vitamins.
Moisturizing + Barrier Support
The natural fats, phospholipids, and cholesterol in egg yolk oil help moisturize and soften by supporting the skin’s lipid barrier—especially helpful for dry, delicate areas.
Shine + Smoothness
In hair and beard care, egg yolk oil can help improve softness, shine, and manageability by smoothing the hair’s outer layer and reducing a dry, frizzy feel.
Strength + Breakage Support
Egg yolk-derived nutrients support the look and feel of stronger hair, helping reduce the appearance of dryness-related breakage and split ends.
Soothing Feel
Egg yolk oil is widely used for its comforting, soothing feel—especially in formulas designed for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
WHY IT IS AMAZING UNDER THE EYES
The under-eye area is thin, delicate, and quick to show dryness. Egg yolk oil is naturally rich in lipids and nutrients that support a softer, smoother look and a more comfortable feel.
Moisturizing
Helps hydrate dry, flaky skin so the under-eye area looks smoother and feels more supple.
Supports the Look of Elasticity
Nutrients and lipids can help support the appearance of elasticity, reducing the look of fine lines caused by dryness.
Soothing + Comforting
Known for a calming feel that can help the under-eye area look more rested and less irritated.
Application note
Use a very small amount and avoid direct contact with the eye itself. As with any skincare ingredient, we recommend patch testing if you have highly sensitive skin.
WHY IT'S INCREDIBLE FOR LIPS
Lips have almost no oil glands, so they lose moisture fast. Egg yolk oil helps deliver deep nourishment and protection—especially when combined with tallow and beeswax.
Deep Moisturization
Rich fats and lipids provide intense hydration, helping lips feel softer and more comfortable.
Nourishment
Naturally contains vitamins and lipids that support healthier-looking skin and reduce the look of flakiness.
Repair + Protection
Helps create a protective, conditioning layer that seals in moisture—ideal for dry weather, wind, and indoor heat.
WHY WE USE IT IN OUR BEARD & HAIR BALM
Egg yolk oil is a powerhouse for beards and hair because it combines deep conditioning with a naturally “skin-like” lipid profile.
Nourishes + Strengthens
Biotin, vitamins, and rich lipids help support the look of stronger hair and healthier follicles.
Moisturizes + Controls Frizz
Lecithin and natural fats hydrate dry hair and beards, helping reduce frizz and improve manageability.
Adds Shine + Softness
Helps hair look more vibrant and feel softer by smoothing and conditioning the outer layer.
Lanolin-like (but not Lanolin)
Egg yolk oil does not contain sheep-derived lanolin, but it does contain cholesterol, phospholipids, and waxy sterols that behave very similarly in skin and hair care. That’s why it has that rich, conditioning “slip” people love in balms.
Why that matters in our formula
Egg yolk oil helps our balms feel more flexible and conditioning, softens the “drag” of beeswax, supports a smoother application around sensitive areas, and adds a naturally rich, custard-like depth that pairs beautifully with tallow.
