Made for the rapid-change phase
Your body changed fast.
Your skincare should catch up.
A rich 5-ingredient tallow & aloe balm for skin that feels drier, tighter, more reactive, or less plump-looking during rapid body changes.
Deep, lasting moisture that doesn’t disappear by noon.
Helps dry, tight-feeling skin feel softer and calmer.
One jar replaces moisturizer, night cream, lip balm, and dry-patch fixes.
Five clean ingredients. No water, fillers, or synthetic fragrance.
Backed by a 101-day money-back guarantee.
Pea-sized amount. Morning & night. One jar does it all.
You’re not imagining it
If your face feels like it changed overnight, you’re not imagining it.
When your body changes quickly, your skin can feel like it’s trying to keep up. Makeup sits differently. Fine lines look more noticeable. Skin feels drier, tighter, or less cushioned than it used to. This isn’t about reversing your progress, it’s about giving your skin the rich, steady moisture it's craving in this phase.
Drier than usual
Skin feels tight after cleansing. Moisturizer that worked for years suddenly disappears by mid-morning.
Less plump-looking
Cheeks look flatter, fine lines look more noticeable, makeup settles differently than it did six months ago.
Makeup sitting differently
Foundation grabs in spots that were smooth, blush ‘sinks in’, and your usual routine just doesn’t look the same.
Why most creams feel like “not enough”
Most lightweight creams weren’t built for skin that suddenly needs more.
Many moisturizers are water-heavy and disappear quickly. Minus is different: a rich balm made with skin-recognizable oils and simple, nourishing ingredients that help seal in lasting moisture.
A typical water-heavy cream
Feels good for an hour.
Light, fast, and pleasant; until you reach for it again before lunch.
Mostly water. Disappears quickly.
May not feel like enough for dry, tight areas.
Often needs to be paired with serums and creams.
Synthetic fragrance or fillers are common.
Minus tallow & aloe balm
Melts in. Cushions. Stays.
A rich balm with five whole ingredients designed to lock in lasting moisture.
Rich balm texture that melts into skin.
Helps lock in moisture on dry, tight areas.
Supports skin that feels reactive or dull.
Replaces multiple routine steps with one jar.
The whole list
Five ingredients. One job: keep skin feeling soft, calm, and protected.
No water, no fillers, no synthetic fragrance. Just whole ingredients your skin recognizes. Designed to do more, with less.
Cushioning
Grass-fed & finished tallow
A rich, skin-compatible fat that gives dry skin a soft, cushioned, deeply moisturized feel.
Hero ingredient
Balancing
Organic jojoba oil
A skin-friendly oil that helps moisturize without a heavy, greasy finish.
Lightweight
Smoothing
Raw organic honey
A natural humectant that helps skin feel smooth, soft, and hydrated.
Humectant
Sealing
Beeswax
Creates a breathable moisture-locking layer to help protect against dry air, wind, and everyday environmental stress.
ProtectiveScented version adds a sub-1% essential-oil blend of ylang-ylang, clary sage, rose & sandalwood. The unscented version contains zero essential oils.
Simplify
One jar instead of the panic-buy routine.
When your skin suddenly feels different, it’s tempting to add more: a heavier night cream, a new serum, a lip mask, a barrier cream, a dry-patch balm. Minus keeps it simple.

For the rapid-change phase
If your body is changing fast, your routine shouldn’t be another project.
Minus is a simple morning-and-night balm for the skin changes that can show up when your body is changing quickly: dryness, tightness, dullness, and skin that just doesn’t feel like itself.
A careful note. Minus does not treat medication side effects or restore facial volume. It supports dry, tight-feeling skin with rich, lasting moisture.
A routine that fits the phase
Morning
Cleanse. Pea-sized Minus. Sunscreen. Done.
Night
Cleanse. A slightly richer layer on dry areas. Sleep.
Throughout the day
Reach for lips, knuckles, cheekbones - wherever feels tight.
How to use
A pea-sized amount, twice a day.
Less than you think in the morning. A slightly richer layer at night where your skin feels driest.
Tip · For daytime, use less than you think. For nighttime, apply a slightly richer layer to dry areas. Works under makeup when used lightly.
Scoop a pea-sized amount with clean fingertips.
Warm it between your fingers until it melts into a soft, silky oil.
Gently press onto face, neck, lips, or any dry areas.
Use morning and night after cleansing.
Start small. Add more only where needed.

A note from Annie
“I kept hearing the same thing from women: their body was changing, but their face and skin felt like they were changing faster than they expected. Dryness. Tightness. Makeup sitting differently. Skin that suddenly needed more.”
Minus was made for the woman who wants to keep things simple. No 10-step routine. No panic-buying another cream that disappears in an hour. Just five thoughtful ingredients in one rich balm your skin can lean on every morning and night.
You should be able to feel proud of your progress and still feel at home in your skin.
With warmth, Annie
