The Tallow & Essence Story
My skincare journey began with my own hands - for years, I struggled with dry, tight, flaking skin that no store-bought product could fix. Creams made promises, but none delivered lasting comfort. I was constantly layering moisturisers that would just sit on my skin or sting when I needed soothing most. The deeper I looked, the more I realised those fancy formulations were full of fillers and synthetic ingredients my skin couldn’t recognize — or tolerate.
That’s when I turned to beef tallow, something that has been around for generations, but forgotten in modern years. Tallow is rich in natural vitamins and incredibly close to what our skin already knows and loves. We mix that with essential oils and calming botanicals to create gentle, multipurpose skincare that actually works — no fillers, no water, no fuss. The first time I used it — our Nurture Balm which is blended with jojoba, calendula, and beeswax — my skin didn’t burn. It didn’t flake. It felt like it could finally breathe. That moment of relief became the foundation for Tallow & Essence Skincare.
