Bell's Peace Balm with Elemi: Flying Cow's Breast Cancer Awareness Release

Every year during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Flying Cow Natural Skincare releases a special product called Bell's Peace Balm with Elemi. The balm was created by founder Britney Arceneaux in honor of her sister, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, and it has become one of the more meaningful releases to come out of the small, family-owned skincare brand based in Midland, Texas.

Like all of Flying Cow's balms, Peace Balm starts with a simple base of grass-fed tallow and a touch of unprocessed organic coconut oil for texture. What sets it apart is the addition of Elemi, an essential oil the brand had not previously worked into any of its formulas. Elemi is known for its warm, resinous scent and is often used in skincare for its grounding, calming aroma, making it a fitting note for a product meant to feel like a small moment of comfort.

Flying Cow describes Peace Balm as a calming massage balm, one made to feel nourishing on the skin while offering a scent the team hopes brings a sense of ease to whoever is using it. The tallow is grass fed and kettle rendered from suet sourced through small family farms, and every batch is handcrafted in small quantities rather than mass produced, which is consistent with how the brand approaches all of its products.

Beyond the formula itself, part of what makes this release stand out is its purpose. A portion of the proceeds from every Peace Balm sold is donated to a local charity that helps women access comfortable wigs and beauty treatments during their cancer journeys. It is a cause that is personal to the Arceneaux family, and the product has become a way for customers to support that cause simply by choosing a balm they might already reach for.

Flying Cow Natural Skincare operates retail locations in Midland, Lubbock, and Fredericksburg, Texas, along with a newer storefront in Franklin, Tennessee, located at 418 Main Street directly across from the Franklin Theatre. The full line of tallow based balms and serums, including Bell's Peace Balm with Elemi, is also available online at flyingcowtallow.com, where customers can read more about the sourcing behind each ingredient and the story that shaped this particular release.

For those looking for a gift for someone going through treatment, or simply a grounding addition to their own routine, Peace Balm offers a small, handcrafted way to mark a season that means a great deal to the people behind the brand.
