Zero BS Face Butter 6.6 / 10

Reviewed by Michael C.

The Zero BS Face Butter is a locally produced tallow-based moisturiser designed to provide deep nourishment for the skin. This versatile balm serves multiple purposes in a daily skincare routine.

This rich tallow and beeswax balm offers intense nourishment for dry skin, though the essential oils and heavy texture will not suit oilier skin types or humid weather.

The Zero BS Face Butter is a rich, tallow and beeswax-based balm that provides intense nourishment, making it a suitable choice for those struggling with dry skin. Its heavy, occlusive texture is designed to lock in moisture, though this density means it is less ideal for those with oily skin or for use in humid climates where it may feel too heavy. Beyond its primary function as a moisturiser, the product is notably versatile; it can be used as an eye cream or even as a makeup remover, offering a multi-purpose solution for those who prefer a simplified routine. While the inclusion of essential oils provides a distinct profile, users should be aware of the product's substantial consistency. At R319 for a 45ml tin, it represents a focused, locally made option for individuals seeking a traditional, balm-style moisturiser that relies on animal-derived fats and natural waxes to support skin barrier health.
