Why tallow works with your skin.
Tallow closely mirrors the skin’s natural lipid profile, allowing it to absorb easily while supporting the skin barrier — without the heaviness of conventional creams. Naturally rich in vitamins and skin-identical fatty acids, it helps calm dryness, reduce reactivity, and restore balance over time.

What makes Organic Tallow Co different.
We use certified organic, suet-derived tallow from a single Australian farm — fully traceable from paddock to product. Each batch is slow-rendered and minimally processed to preserve its natural integrity, giving you complete clarity over what you’re putting on your skin.

Does tallow smell like beef?
No. Our tallow is rendered from premium suet and carefully refined to create a clean, neutral base suitable for skincare. Most customers are surprised by how subtle it is. Each balm is lightly scented with carefully selected botanicals and essential oils, creating a soft, refined aroma — never a cooking smell.
I don’t understand how it did it, but after using your Soothing balm, my skin no longer feels patchy and dry, and my oily pores have reduced. Tallow changed the nature of my skin! It feels more stable and less reactive. With my old moisturisers, I couldn’t go without makeup because I needed to hide blemishes. My skin was always sabotaging my social life. I’d never go back to my old moisturiser now. I tell everyone I’m a tallow convert.

My baby’s skin was prone to rashes, and she had baby acne on her face too. When I looked at baby formula products, they had chemical ingredients with names I can’t pronounce. Eek! My friend told me about a tallow balm she was using for dry skin, and after researching, I eventually decided to try your vanilla-scented Sensitive balm. I’m really happy as my little girl’s skin looks much more comfortable. It saved us just in time for family photos.

A doctor prescribed a steroid cream for my son’s eczema which seemed effective but could only be used for a limited time without side effects. The eczema didn’t entirely go away, and it was tempting to keep using the steroid cream to keep it under control. Then the eczema got worse and bathing became painful. We saw a dermatologist and were disappointed when he only offered a higher dose steroid. We knew it wasn’t safe to keep using long-term. Hearing about other people’s home remedies for eczema led me to tallow. We tried Organic Tallow Co balms and haven’t looked back.

Every ingredient is chosen for compatibility with human skin — nothing more. Our balms are waterless and highly bioavailable, blending certified organic tallow with select botanical ingredients to nourish, protect, and support without unnecessary additives.

A simpler approach to sensitive skin.
Organic Tallow Co was founded by Dana Alfred, a formulator and sensitive-skin advocate, in response to chronic skin sensitivity and modern ingredient overload. Guided by firsthand experience with workplace chemical exposure, the brand is deeply committed to skincare that genuinely supports compromised skin.
Drawing on inspiration from ancestral skincare wisdom, each formula works in harmony with the skin’s natural biology — providing nourishment, simplicity, and relief without unnecessary irritation.
Targeted support for real skin needs.
Every skin type is different — but they all need the same foundation: nourishment, protection, and balance. Without harsh additives or unnecessary complexity, skin becomes calmer and more resilient over time.

Dry & Dehydrated Skin
I’ve been using your Reviving tallow to smooth the rough skin on my knuckles, elbows, knees and feet, as well as putting it twice daily on my face. It’s a good multipurpose product with a lush scent. My girlfriend mentioned my hands feel softer. Would recommend.

Mature Skin
At 62, I’ve maintained my figure with exercise and diet. Nevertheless, I was still feeling self-conscious about my face ageing until I started using your Reviving cream. People keep complimenting me on my skin. My confidence has been boosted.

Rosacea-Prone Skin
I have rosacea and I’m coeliac. Finding authentically gluten-free skincare is challenging. I am scared to try new products because there are so many false gluten-free claims. What made me try Organic Tallow Co’s Soothing was the guarantee of only using certified organic grass-fed and grass-finished tallow from just one farm. This reassured me your other ingredients are sourced with integrity too. They pass the gluten-free test for me and moisturise superbly.

Men’s Skin & Beard Care
I fish and surf a lot, which means I need something thicker than a regular moisturiser against the elements, and I don’t want to cover myself in chemicals. Your Moisturiser & Beard Butter keeps my skin soft and protected from the sun and wind. Too easy!

Sensitive & Eczema-prone Skin
Organic Tallow Co’s Soothing balm is my favourite product in my makeup bag. My skin is sensitive to most cosmetics, but thankfully not yours. Natural brands can still make me itchy and irritated with that feeling of needing an antihistamine for an allergic reaction coming on. I haven’t had any allergic reactions with your product. Thanks.

Baby & Delicate Skin
My baby’s skin was prone to rashes, and she had baby acne on her face too. When I looked at baby formula products, they had chemical ingredients with names I can’t pronounce. Eek! My friend told me about a tallow balm she was using for dry skin, and after researching, I eventually decided to try your vanilla-scented Sensitive balm. I’m really happy as my little girl’s skin looks much more comfortable. It saved us just in time for family photos.

Acne-prone & Oily Skin
I don’t understand how it did it, but after using your Soothing balm, my skin no longer feels patchy and dry, and my oily pores have reduced. Tallow changed the nature of my skin! It feels more stable and less reactive. With my old moisturisers, I couldn’t go without makeup because I needed to hide blemishes. My skin was always sabotaging my social life. I’d never go back to my old moisturiser now. I tell everyone I’m a tallow convert.
