Our tallow is rendered from the suet — the delicate, nutrient-dense leaf fat that surrounds the kidneys of our own grass-fed cattle, raised on our land in the Coromandel Peninsula. Protected deep within the animal, this internal fat remains pure and untouched by external elements, making it the finest source for both high-temperature cooking and restorative skincare.

For centuries, tallow was the original skincare — revered for its ability to heal, protect, and restore. Only with the arrival of petroleum-based creams and synthetic additives did we lose touch with this ancestral wisdom.

Tallow is rich in the same lipids naturally present in youthful, healthy skin. These beneficial fats help to fortify the skin’s barrier, preserve moisture, and support cellular structure and elasticity.

Its biology mirrors our own — allowing each balm to melt into the skin, absorbing effortlessly and delivering nourishment without heaviness or residue.

Naturally abundant in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, and balanced in omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, tallow offers complete, bioavailable nourishment that modern formulations often imitate but rarely achieve.
