The research on the ingredients
Nightfall 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 and forest aromas for their calming associations. 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.
Koulivand, Khaleghi Ghadiri & Gorji, Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2013 — review of human and experimental studies on lavender and the nervous system, summarizing its studied use for relaxation.
Forest aromas & calm: time in forest environments, and the woodland scents associated with them, has been studied for its calming, stress-reducing effects.
Park et al., Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine, 2010 — foundational "forest bathing" research associating forest environments with lower stress markers. Nightfall's Siberian fir note is crafted to evoke that woodland calm.

The bedtime ritual your skin wants
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, slow-absorbing moisture that works overnight, softening the dry, rough patches other lotions leave behind.
Siberian fir and lavender give it a grounding, forest-calm scent that makes it a natural last step before sleep — the deepest note in your evening ritual. It's for anyone who wants deep, honest moisture from a short, recognizable ingredient list, and a quiet, woodsy calm to end the day.
