Tallow is rendered fat from grass-fed cattle, rich in vitamins A, D, E & K and essential fatty acids. It closely mimics our skin’s natural oils (sebum), helping it absorb deeply for long-lasting hydration. Our organic, grass-fed tallow is sourced from regenerative UK farms for maximum purity and sustainability.

Unlike plant oils that can oxidise or sit on the skin’s surface, our tallow shares the same lipid profile as human skin. This means it absorbs quickly, hydrates deeply, and supports barrier repair without clogging pores — perfect for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

Tallow is an animal-derived ingredient, so it’s not vegan. However, our skincare is cruelty-free and sustainably sourced as part of ethical, zero-waste farming. For customers seeking plant-based products, we’re always happy to recommend alternatives.

Warm a pea-sized amount of balm between your fingertips and gently press into clean, dry skin. For face and body use, apply after cleansing or showering when your skin is slightly damp to lock in hydration. A little goes a long way!
