Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Radiance Veil.

Product

What is an illuminating tallow balm?

Radiance Veil is a skincare and cosmetic hybrid. It nourishes skin with natural-origin ingredients — New Zealand grass-fed tallow at the core — while leaving a refined, light-reflective finish. It conditions and softens, and the mica gives the skin a dimensional quality that appears healthy and alive. Not shimmer. Not standard skincare. Both, considered in equal measure.

What makes Radiance Veil different from other illuminating products?

Most illuminating products prioritise surface finish and use synthetic base oils that offer nothing to the skin beneath. Radiance Veil was formulated to provide genuine nourishment alongside the visual finish. The illuminating quality comes from mica — a refined mineral — carried in a tallow base that conditions and softens with use. The result looks and feels different because it is different.

Is it skincare or makeup?

Both, equally. It is formulated with skincare-quality ingredients and produces a finish that functions as complexion enhancement. It can be worn as the only product on skin, or layered into a broader routine. There is no precise category for it. That is intentional.

Application

Where can I apply it?

Face and body. Apply wherever skin catches the light — cheekbones, collarbones, shoulders, décolletage, arms, and legs. Designed for seamless use across both face and body.

Can I use it on my face?

Yes. Radiance Veil is formulated for both face and body application and was designed with facial skin in mind — a weightless texture and refined finish that does not obscure the skin underneath.

How much product should I use?

Less than you think. Begin with a tiny amount and apply to areas where the skin naturally catches the light. Build gradually to achieve your desired level of radiance.

Can it be layered with other products?

Yes. Radiance Veil can be worn on bare skin, applied as a luminous primer beneath makeup, or softly pressed onto the high points of the face over makeup as a finishing touch. It layers seamlessly with skincare, SPF, and complexion products. For the most refined finish, apply as the final step in your routine.

Can I use it every day?

Yes. There are no active ingredients or high-concentration extracts that require caution with frequency. It can be used morning, evening, or whenever skin needs it.

Texture + Finish

Will it feel greasy?

No. Radiance Veil leaves a soft, silk-like finish rather than an oily one. The texture is lightweight, comfortable, and designed to feel refined on the skin while enhancing the appearance of radiance.

Does it contain visible shimmer or glitter?

Radiance Veil contains fine cosmetic-grade mica to create its signature radiance. While subtle light-reflective particles can be seen in certain lighting, the finish remains refined and skin-like. Think luminosity and dimension rather than glitter or obvious shimmer.

Will it look the same on different skin tones?

Radiance Veil is formulated to work across a wide range of skin tones. The sheer, warm-toned finish blends into the skin rather than sitting on top of it, allowing each complexion to reflect light in its own way. On lighter skin tones it may appear softly golden, while on deeper skin tones it tends to create a richer, dimensional radiance.

How does the finish appear in different lighting?

The finish is designed to move with the light. In daylight, it appears soft, dimensional, and skin-like. In warm or evening light, it takes on a more luminous, almost incandescent quality. The effect is never harsh or metallic — just healthy-looking skin with a refined radiance.

Ingredients

Why tallow?

New Zealand grass-fed tallow has a fatty acid profile that closely mirrors the skin's own natural lipids — primarily oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. This means the skin can recognise and absorb it. It is deeply conditioning, leaves skin soft without heaviness, and contains naturally occurring vitamins A, D, E, and K. It was chosen as the base for Radiance Veil because nothing else performs comparably in a product designed to both nourish and finish.

What does natural-origin mean?

Natural-origin ingredients are those derived from animal, plant, or mineral sources. Radiance Veil is built around a carefully considered blend of New Zealand grass-fed tallow, botanical oils, beeswax, vitamin E, and mineral-derived mica. Where necessary, additional ingredients are incorporated to ensure the formula performs beautifully, remains stable, and delivers the intended experience on the skin.

Why is the formulation so considered?

Every ingredient in Radiance Veil serves a specific purpose, whether contributing to skin feel, performance, stability, or the finished appearance on the skin. The formula was developed with intention, focusing on what was necessary to achieve the desired result rather than adding ingredients for the sake of marketing claims or complexity.

Sourcing

The tallow used in Radiance Veil is sourced from NZFAP-certified farms — farms that meet the New Zealand Farm Assurance Programme's standards for animal health, welfare, and ethical practice.

What is NZFAP certification?

SEVĒNNE sources exclusively from NZFAP-certified supply chains.

Is SEVĒNNE's tallow ethically sourced?

Yes. Ethical traceability is central to how Radiance Veil is made. Our tallow is sourced from NZFAP-certified farms with full farm-to-face traceability — meaning every stage of the supply chain is traceable and verified.
