THE FIRST HUNDRED

One hundred jars. Your name on this page forever.
And a jar money can't buy.

Our first run is 100 hand-numbered jars of whipped tallow balm, built completely in public. This page is what being early gets you — in writing.
The books are open — claim your number
Order now · from $34 · ships in 3–4 weeks · cancel anytime before it ships
01

Jar #1 is not for sale. At any price.

The first jar this brand ever made can only be won. Everyone on the list when the books open is in the draw — one entry per person, drawn at random. Your exact odds are published below. Really.

02

First through the door.

The books are open. Jars 2 through 100 are numbered in order of purchase, so the low numbers belong to the people who move first. Ships in 3–4 weeks; cancel anytime before it ships.

03

The permanent record.

Claim a jar and your number is written into this page — with your first name beside it, if you want it there. Not for launch week: for as long as this site exists. Rather not be named? Say the word and your square shows the number alone. The record still counts you, it just doesn't spell you.

04

The Council.

Own a First Hundred jar and you're on the Council: one free unit of every new formula we ever develop, before the public gets it, in exchange for honest feedback. Full terms below — it does not expire.

THE HONEST GIVEAWAY

Your odds of winning Jar #1, right now:

1 in 3
People on the list as of July 26: 2. Join today and your entry makes it 3.
Every brand runs giveaways. None of them show you the pool. We update this number as the list grows — which means your odds will never be better than they are at this exact moment.

THE RULES, IN PLAIN ENGLISH

Joining the email list is the entry — it's free, and buying nothing changes nothing: no purchase necessary, and a purchase doesn't improve your odds. One entry per person. The draw is random and happens when jar #100 sells, or on September 1, 2026 — whichever comes first. The winner is announced by email and written into the record below as #1, and the jar ships free. If any of this ever changes, this page changes first.

Updated July 26: the books opened earlier than planned. The original rule said the draw happens the day the books open — but opening early would have meant drawing from a two-person list, so the draw moved to sellout-or-September 1 instead. More time to enter, not less. That's the kind of change we'll always tell you about, right here.

Put me on the list.

First access. An entry in the draw. A number with your name on it.
You're in. Your entry is counted — and the odds above just got a little worse for everyone who joins after you.
By joining, you agree to receive email updates from Primordial Skin. Unsubscribe anytime — your entry stands either way until the draw.

The Record

One hundred squares. Every jar claimed writes its number here, forever — with the owner's first name beside it if they want it there, and nothing but the number if they don't. Square one belongs to the draw.

Empty on purpose. We don't fake momentum — when a square fills in, it's because a real person claimed a real jar.

BEING ON THE RECORD IS OPTIONAL

The number is yours either way. Putting your name next to it is a choice, not a condition of buying. If you'd rather not be listed, your square reads Anonymous and nothing else about your jar changes.

You can change your mind in either direction, any time, for as long as this page exists — email hello@primordialskin.com with your jar number and say which you want. No form, no deadline, no reason needed.

It is only ever a first name. Never a surname, never an email address, never a photo — unless you send one and tell us plainly it's fine to use.

A square marked Anonymous is a real jar and a real person; just one who'd rather not be listed.

THE COUNCIL — THE WHOLE DEAL, IN WRITING

Every owner of a First Hundred jar receives one free unit of each genuinely new formula Primordial Skin develops — new products, not restocks or new sizes of this balm — shipped before the public launch, in exchange for honest feedback we may publish, good or bad.

This stands for as long as Primordial Skin operates. If we ever have to change it, we will say so here, plainly, before we do — not in fine print after.

Every cost of this run is already published. See what's in the jar — or see what it costs us to make on the Open Books.
