Exceptional skincare begins with exceptional ingredients. Organic Tallow Co formulates with suet-derived tallow from 100% grass-fed cattle, valued for its purity, stability, and natural compatibility with skin. Rich in skin-supportive lipids, it forms a breathable, nourishing base that strengthens the skin barrier. Our concentrated, waterless balms avoid fillers and synthetic emulsifiers — combining nutrient-dense tallow with carefully selected botanicals.
Pure ingredients. Thoughtful sourcing. Skincare in harmony with your skin.
Why we formulate without water
Many conventional skincare products contain mostly water, requiring emulsifiers and preservatives for stability. Our balms are entirely waterless — creating concentrated, nutrient-dense formulations that deliver lasting nourishment. No fillers. No dilution. Only ingredients chosen for compatibility with the skin.
What makes our tallow different?
Our certified organic, suet-derived tallow is naturally rich in skin-identical lipids, vitamins A, D, E and K, and essential fatty acids. Exceptionally bio-compatible, it deeply nourishes, supports the skin barrier, and delivers lasting hydration without clogging pores — ideal for dry, mature, or sensitive skin.
Ingredients glossary
Organic Calendula Oil
Known in medieval times as “Mary’s Gold” for its healing properties, the flowers of Calendula officinalis have been a staple in traditional herbal medicine for centuries. An essential in skincare for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, and ability to calm, soothe and comfort sensitive or irritated skin. It supports skin resilience and regeneration, and is well suited to delicate, reactive or compromised skin types.
Cera Alba (Beeswax)
Beeswax, a natural product of honeybees, forms a breathable protective barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture while shielding against environmental stressors. Contributes to the balm’s characteristic structure which makes it suitable for problem skin and baby skincare.
Organic Golden Jojoba Oil
Pressed from the seed of the jojoba plant, a native of the Sonoran Desert, jojoba oil is a lightweight, non-comedogenic, non-greasy liquid wax ester that closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum. It helps balance oil production, improve skin texture, and enhance absorption of other beneficial ingredients, without clogging pores. Selected for its supreme moisturising potential to elevate your natural glow.
Organic Shea Butter
Shea butter, one of the ancient beauty secrets of Queen Cleopatra, is obtained from shea fruit kernels of the Shea-Karite Tree, native to West Africa. A nutrient-dense botanical butter that softens, conditions and protects the skin. Oleic and linoleic acids provide intense hydration while supporting barrier function. Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated skin and improve firmness and elasticity.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
The skin-conditioning, fat-soluble, essential nutrient Vitamin E, is an antioxidant that works synergistically with other antioxidants to fight age-accelerating free radicals. It helps protect against environmental stress and supports the immune system and skin’s natural repair processes. It enhances both product stability and skin nourishment for deep revitalisation and smoothing of blemishes.
Organic Vanilla Extract
Hand-pollination of Vanilla planifolia, an orchid grown in tropical climates, and hand-harvesting of its vanilla beans, is just the beginning of the laborious craft of making vanilla extract. Known for its luxurious scent, it provides a therapeutic, calming, and sensory experience, with gentle antioxidant protection from free radical damage, for soft, supple skin.
Organic Rosemary Extract
A potent Mediterranean herb used traditionally by the ancient Greeks and Romans to improve cognitive performance and memory by inhaling the aroma. This powerful natural extract protects the formula’s rich oils from oxidation, maintaining the balm’s freshness and integrity. On the skin, it aids in reducing oxidative stress linked to the breakdown of collagen necessary for youthful vitality.
Our essential oil philosophy
We use essential oils at low, considered levels to enhance both skin benefits and sensory ritual, never overpowering or irritating.
Organic Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender essential oil is steam distilled from the flowering tops of the lavender plant. Widely used for its ability to calm, soothe and regenerate, it often features in skincare treating eczema, psoriasis and acne. It can help reduce redness and improve the appearance of aged or scarred skin by promoting an even skin tone. Its mild antimicrobial, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties support clean, balanced skin, and work against dryness and irritation, all while contributing a soft, herbaceous aroma.
Organic Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense oil is steam distilled from the aromatic, hardened gum resin of the Boswellia tree that has a rich history in ritual and ceremony, as well as in medicinal use. Revered for its ability to visibly firm, lift, and tone the skin, particularly in mature complexions. Traditionally used to help smooth the appearance of sunspots, scars and large pores, it promotes a more refined finish and soothes inflammation while lending a resinous, grounding aroma.
Organic Ylang Ylang Essential Oil
Ylang Ylang essential oil is steam distilled from the large and powerfully fragrant flowers of the beautiful Cananga odorata tree from tropical climates. Renowned as the Queen of Perfumes for its deeply exotic, romantic floral scent, this natural aphrodisiac is treasured for its mood elevating and emotion regulating benefits. In traditional medicine, it has been used to promote balance and radiance with anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and anti-microbial properties perfect for conditioning acne-prone skin. It enhances the sensory experience of the self-care ritual while supporting skin vitality.
Organic Sandalwood Essential Oil
Prized for its calming, grounding aroma, stress-reducing effects, and skin-conditioning properties, sandalwood oil, often referred to as "liquid gold”, is distilled from the dense, aromatic heartwood and roots of the sandalwood tree. It offers mild astringent properties to help refine the skin’s texture, while also being deeply soothing for dry, inflamed skin. Its long-lasting, lusciously warm and woody scent profile is synonymous with luxury and refinement.
