FROM OUR FOUNDERS
BEAR is not reinventing skincare. We’re bringing it back to what actually works:pure, time-tested ingredients like grass-fed tallow and nutrient-rich African botanicals.
The way forward isn’t in creating more, it’s in rediscovering what was always enough. No synthetics. No fillers. Just real skincare, made the way it should be.
Thank You Cards
Our thank you cards are made from recycled paper, and embedded with seeds that you can plant! Simplifying skincare goes hand in hand with encouraging a more natural, grounded way of life.
Every card you plant is a reminder to reconnect with nature, and before you know it, it won’t just be your skincare that’s changing, it will be how you live.
We also support local South African businesses, to make sure that positive change happens close to home.
OUR RECIPES
REAL
INGREDIENTS
Our grass-fed tallow is ethically sourced from South African farms and packed with skin-loving fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins.
We pair it with powerful African botanical oils , rich in antioxidants and deeply moisturising.
No synthetics. No unnecessary processing.
Many of our ingredients are certified organic, ensuring quality that’s clean, traceable, and as close to nature as it gets.
HANDMADE
PROCESS
Every product we make is crafted by hand, from start to finish.
We render our own grass-fed tallow, pour each jar ourselves, handwrite each batch number and make everything in small batches to ensure quality, intention, and care.
Nothing here is mass-produced. We work slowly and intentionally.
REAL
PRODUCTS
We work with whole, natural ingredients, so our products will vary slightly from batch to batch.
A different shade of yellow. A richer scent. A softer whip in summer, a firmer balm in winter, we don’t fight those changes.
They're proof that what you’re using is real. Untouched by artificial stabilisers or lab-made fillers.
No two seasons are the same. Neither are two jars of Bear and that’s exactly the point.
