The sagas say the gods found two trees on the shore and breathed life into them — Ask became the first man, Embla the first woman. This is the warm tin of the Highland Line: wild rose hips and arctic thyme gathered for their traditional circulation-warming reputation, fresh ginger heat that builds slow and stays, all carried in our ranch-suet tallow so it feeds the skin while it warms. Rub it into knuckles on a cold morning, across shoulders before the woodstove, into knees before the winter walk. The scent is rose hip and hearth — warm, dry, and faintly spiced, nothing like a medicine cabinet.

  • Slow-building ginger warmth for cold hands and stiff joints
  • Wild rose hips and arctic thyme — Nordic warming botanicals
  • Deep tallow base conditions while the warmth works
  • 2 oz tin with the Highland Line sketch portrait and Vegvísir mark

The tallow standard

EMBLA is poured on locally sourced grass-fed beef tallow — leaf and kidney suet from Similkameen and Nicola valley ranches, wet-rendered twice, salt-washed and filtered to 25 micron. It is sebum-identical, carries vitamins A, D, E and K2 in their native fat, and it is the majority of the batch by weight in every salve, stick and roller we make.
