IF YOU LIVE SOMEWHERE DRY, YOU KNOW.
Your skin isn't difficult. It might just be thirsty.
You leave the house with soft skin. A few hours later, it feels tight again. So you add another layer. Then another. By evening, somehow your skin still feels thirsty.
Dry air, wind, altitude, heat + cold can change what your skin needs.
We make skincare for that kind of day.
OCASA creates botanical formulations specifically with dry climates in mind—so your skin can feel soft, nourished + comfortable long after you've walked away from the mirror.
Your skin lives where you do.
Humidity. Altitude. Wind. Heat. Cold.
Your environment follows your skin everywhere.
That's why we look to some of nature's most resilient ingredients—from desert-grown jojoba + prickly pear to traditional tallow + slow botanical infusions—to create skincare made for places where moisture is hard to hold onto.
Made for the weather your skin lives in.

YOUR FINAL LAYER
Imagine ending the day without thinking about your dry skin again.
Picture this: the day is finally over.
You wash your face. Mist your skin. Open your jar + take a few quiet minutes for yourself.
A pea-sized amount melts into damp skin, leaving it feeling soft, nourished + comfortable—even when the air around you is anything but.
That's the OCASA tallow ritual.
MADE BY US. FROM THE BEGINNING.
We don't just put our name on the jar. We make what's inside it.
It begins with grass-fed + grass-finished beef kidney suet.
From there, the process stays close to home.
We render it.
We filter it.
We infuse the botanicals.
We formulate.
We whip.
We fill the jars.
From raw ingredient to finished moisturizer, every OCASA tallow cream passes through our hands in our Wyoming studio.
TALLOW CURIOUS? START SMALL.
Not sure which tallow is right for you—or whether tallow belongs in your routine at all?
Our 1 oz jars let you experience the OCASA ritual without committing to a full size.
And because a pea-sized amount is all you need, small goes a surprisingly long way.

WHY THESE BOTANICALS?
We look to plants that know something about resilience.
The West is full of plants that have learned to live with intense sun, dry air, wind + very little water.
They've shaped the way we think about formulation.
We pair thoughtfully selected botanicals with traditional ingredients to create formulas made for the realities of dry-climate skin.
Botanicals inspired by the West
Jojoba
A desert-grown liquid wax + the foundation of many of our slow herbal infusions.
Calendula
A time-honored skin herb we slowly infuse into oil.
Prickly Pear
A cactus synonymous with resilience in hot, arid landscapes.
Creosote
A true symbol of the Southwest.
REAL SKIN. REAL RITUALS.
Word travels in the West.

WHERE EVERY FORMULA BEGINS
Made by someone who lives in dry skin weather, too.
I'm Edina—the founder + maker behind OCASA.
I grew up in Europe in a family where herbs, good food + time-honored remedies were simply part of everyday life.
Years later, life brought me to the American West, where dry air, wind, cold winters + desert heat changed the way I thought about skincare.
I began studying herbalism + botanical formulation and creating the kind of products I wanted on my own shelf: simple enough to understand, thoughtful enough to trust + rich enough for the climates I knew.
OCASA grew from there.
Today, I still formulate, make + test our products with the same question: Would I use this on myself or give it to someone I love?
If the answer isn't yes, it doesn't belong in your jar.
FOR THE LAND THAT INSPIRES US
Born in the West. Giving back to the wild.
The landscapes that inspire OCASA deserve more than a place on our moodboard.
A portion of OCASA tallow purchases supports organizations working to protect wildlife, wild burros + the Western landscapes they call home.
Because caring for the West should be part of making something from it.
THE TALLOW EDIT
Does tallow clog your pores?
One of the most common questions I hear about tallow skincare is: “Won’t tallow clog my pores?” It makes sense. Tallow is rich, buttery, and deeply nourishing, so if you...
