01Grass-fed tallow
The foundation.
At the heart of Trinity is pure beef tallow made with suet from grass-fed, grass-finished cattle.
Rich and deeply emollient, tallow forms the comforting foundation of our three-butter blend, helping soften dry-feeling skin and hold moisture close.
Our tallow is carefully purified without bleach or chemical deodorizers, preserving the simple character of this traditional skin-conditioning fat.
Why we chose itNaturally rich. Exceptionally conditioning. A beautiful foundation for daily skin care.
02African shea butter
Rich, traditional nourishment.
Our African shea butter is traditionally handmade in Ghana through a women’s cooperative, carrying generations of knowledge from their hands into our formula.
Raw and unrefined, it retains the naturally rich character of the shea nut. Traditional preparation without chemical extraction preserves the qualities we value in this beautiful butter.
Its creamy texture complements our tallow, bringing softness, luxurious glide, and a velvety finish to Trinity.
Why we chose itRich moisture. Traditional craftsmanship. A beautiful ingredient with a human story.
03Ghanaian cocoa butter
The third butter. A richer finish.
Our cocoa butter is traditionally handmade in Ghana through the same women’s cooperative as our shea butter.
Left unrefined, it retains its natural character and warm cocoa aroma. Its smooth, substantial texture gives Trinity added body while melting beautifully into the skin.
Together, tallow, shea, and cocoa butter create the rich foundation that gives our signature blend its name.
Why we chose itSilky richness. Beautiful body. The finishing touch to our three-butter foundation.
04Tamanu oil
A remarkable botanical oil.
We use Calophyllum inophyllum seed oil, traditionally known as Tamanu or Foraha—a distinctive botanical oil valued for generations in tropical skin-care traditions.
Our tamanu is 100% pure, organic, unrefined, and cold-pressed from the seeds, helping preserve its naturally occurring fatty acids and characteristic plant compounds.
Naturally rich in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids, it brings a lush, conditioning quality to Trinity and complements the richness of our three butters.
Why we chose itA distinctive botanical composition, a long tradition of skin use, and a luxurious feel.
05Dragon’s Blood resin
An ancient botanical, thoughtfully infused.
Our Dragon’s Blood comes from Dracaena cinnabari—a deep red plant resin with a long history in traditional botanical preparations.
We begin with the resin itself, gently infusing it into warm fats before carefully filtering away the remaining particles.
For Trinity, we take a restrained approach to this distinctive ingredient, allowing its natural character to complement the three-butter blend.
Why we chose itA remarkable botanical heritage, carefully infused into our signature balm.
06Organic frankincense
Precious resin. Beautifully distilled.
Our organic frankincense begins as resin from wild-growing Boswellia carterii trees in Somalia.
Through steam distillation, steam carries the resin’s aromatic compounds into a cooling system, where the essential oil is collected separately from the water.
This process captures frankincense’s beautifully layered character: resinous and woody, with soft balsamic warmth and a gentle citrus brightness.
Blended into Trinity as the base cools, it brings an elegant aromatic note to the richness of the butters and botanicals.
Why we chose itTraceable resin, careful distillation, and a timeless botanical aroma.
07Organic myrrh
Earthy warmth. Quiet depth.
Our organic myrrh is steam-distilled from the resin of wild-growing Commiphora myrrha trees in Somalia.
The resin’s aromatic compounds are carried by steam, cooled, and collected as a concentrated essential oil, capturing myrrh’s distinctive sweet, woody character.
Treasured for generations in traditional botanical preparations, myrrh brings depth to Trinity’s natural aroma. Its earthy warmth pairs beautifully with frankincense and the soft richness of cocoa butter.
Why we chose itA treasured resin, a beautifully concentrated oil, and a natural companion to frankincense.
08Helichrysum italicum CO₂ extract
The golden flower, beautifully captured.
Known as Immortelle, Helichrysum italicum is treasured in botanical skin-care traditions.
We select a concentrated flower extract made using supercritical CO₂ extraction. This precise process uses carbon dioxide under controlled pressure and temperature to draw out oil-compatible aromatic and botanical compounds.
After extraction, the carbon dioxide is released, leaving a rich flower extract that blends beautifully into oils and butters.
Its warm, honeyed floral notes bring another layer to Trinity’s natural character. We blend it in as the base cools, preserving its place as a thoughtful botanical finish.
Why we chose itA concentrated flower extract, careful preparation, and a beautiful finishing note.
09Local beeswax
A little of home.
Our beeswax comes from a small farm in Spring Hill, Tennessee, where a local beekeeper tends his hives and harvests honey.
We use just a small amount, bringing gentle structure to Trinity’s rich blend and helping create a soft, protective feel on the skin.
It is a simple ingredient with a close-to-home connection—a reminder that exceptional sourcing can begin right here in our own community.
Why we chose itThoughtful texture. A local relationship. A small ingredient with a meaningful place.
