The research on the ingredients
Unwind is a cosmetic — its job is rich moisture and a calming, end-of-day feel. The ingredients it's built from have been studied in their own right: tallow and plant oils in skin-barrier science, and lavender for its calming aroma. Here is what that literature reports.
2018: A peer-reviewed review described how topical plant oils — including olive and jojoba — support the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Lin, Zhong & Santiago, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 — review of the barrier-supporting and soothing properties of topical plant oils, covering the fatty-acid profiles behind ingredients like olive and jojoba oil.
2013: A peer-reviewed review reported calming effects of lavender aroma on the nervous system, linking it with improved relaxation.

Tallow and the skin: beef tallow is rich in the same fatty acids found in human skin (including palmitic and oleic acids), which is why it's long been valued as a skin-compatible moisturizer.

The evening's rich, quiet moisture ritual
Long before lotions came in plastic bottles, people moisturized with tallow — and modern skin science explains why it worked: grass-fed beef tallow is rich in the very same fatty acids the skin produces itself, which makes it deeply nourishing and remarkably well-tolerated, even on delicate skin. This cream blends it with olive and jojoba oils for a rich, fast-absorbing moisture that softens the dry, rough patches other lotions leave behind.
Lemongrass and lavender give it a soft, calming scent that makes it a natural part of an evening wind-down — the counterpart to a brighter morning cream. It's for anyone who wants deep, honest moisture from a short, recognizable ingredient list, and a quiet moment of calm to end the day.
