Question 1

Where are Bare Nordic products made, and where do your ingredients come from?

Accepted Answer

All Bare Nordic products are developed and produced in Sweden.

The majority of ingredients are sourced locally, as close to the production as possible. Bare Nordic prioritizes Swedish and Nordic raw materials, and all essential oils are derived from Nordic plants, such as spruce.

Ingredient selection is based on function, quality, and origin — with a clear preference for local and European sourcing.

Question 2

Why does Bare Nordic use tallow instead of plant-based oils?

Accepted Answer

Tallow is one of the most traditional skincare ingredients in human history.

Long before modern cosmetics, it was used across cultures to protect and nourish the skin in harsh climates.

Bare Nordic brings this approach into a modern context.

Grass-fed tallow is naturally rich in skin-compatible lipids, with a structure similar to the skin’s own oils. This allows for effective, minimal formulations without unnecessary additives.

It is also a resource-conscious choice. Tallow is a by-product of the food industry, meaning it makes use of existing materials rather than requiring additional cultivation or long-distance sourcing.

By focusing on traditional fats and locally sourced ingredients where possible, Bare Nordic aims to create skincare that is closer to nature, simpler in composition, and rooted in Nordic heritage.

Question 3

Does your sunscreen leave a white cast?

Bare Nordic also offers a Bronze variant, formulated with natural pigments to reduce the white cast and blend more evenly into the skin.
