🆕 Now With Hyaluronic Acid for Enhanced Hydration

Introducing our updated Tallow Face Cream | Light — now formulated with hyaluronic acid for even deeper hydration and plumping support while keeping the lightweight, easily absorbed texture you love. This fresh formula combines the time-honoured nourishment of Grass-fed and finished WA Beef Tallow with hydrating botanicals and modern humectants to help skin feel smoother, more supple, and resilient every day.

🌿 What’s New

We’ve enhanced this everyday moisturiser with hyaluronic acid, a skin-friendly humectant known for drawing and holding moisture at the skin’s surface, helping reduce the appearance of fine lines and boosting long-lasting hydration without heaviness.

Tallow Face Cream | Light delivers hydration and nourishment without feeling greasy, keeping your skin calm, smooth, and balanced through warmer weather.

Handcrafted in Perth using 100% grass-fed and finished WA tallow, this refreshing emulsion blends shea butter, rosehip, jojoba, and castor oils with soothing herbal infusions of Marshmallow root, Dandelion, Kawakawa, Calendula, and Licorice. Together, these ingredients help soften the appearance of fine lines, deeply hydrate, and support healthy skin barrier function.

  • Tallow is naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with essential fatty acids that closely mimic our skin’s natural sebum, making it incredibly nourishing and barrier-supportive without clogging pores.
  • Marshmallow root delivers long-lasting hydration by forming a soft, protective film on the skin, keeping it supple and dewy.
  • Dandelion provides antioxidants that help neutralise free radicals and promote a brighter, more even skin tone.
  • Kawakawa calms irritation and inflammation, helping soothe reactive or stressed skin.
  • Calendula supports repair, reduces redness, and encourages a smooth, healthy complexion.
  • Licorice root helps even pigmentation, reduces inflammation, and brightens the skin naturally.
  • Rosehip and jojoba oils add lightweight nourishment, promoting elasticity and supporting collagen production.
  • Aloe vera is rich in polysaccharides, enzymes, and antioxidants that boost hydration, accelerate skin repair, and support collagen synthesis. It soothes irritation from sun or heat exposure while helping to improve texture and firmness over time.
  • Blue chamomile contains bisabolol, a potent natural anti-inflammatory that soothes redness, supports healing, and strengthens the skin’s resilience.
  • Vitamin E enhances antioxidant protection, helping guard against oxidative stress and premature ageing.

Finished with a soft botanical scent from blue chamomile, lemon myrtle, tea tree, and vanilla, this cream leaves skin refreshed, comfortable, and balanced.

Perfect for hot, humid days or as a base under zinc-based sunscreens to prevent dryness and flaking.

FAQs

1. Can I use this under sunscreen?

Yes! This cream pairs perfectly with zinc-based sunscreens, helping prevent dryness and flaking while keeping skin hydrated.

2. Will it suit oily or acne-prone skin?

Yes. The lightweight texture absorbs easily without clogging pores, and the tea tree, licorice, and chamomile help support clear, calm skin.

3. Does it help with fine lines?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid supports surface hydration and plumping, while rosehip, licorice, and vitamin E help improve skin tone and resilience over time.

4. Can I use it morning and night?

Absolutely. It’s gentle enough for twice-daily use and layers beautifully under makeup or oil-based finishes such as the whipped tallow cream.

5. I’ve been hesitant to try tallow because I don’t like heavy or oily products. Will this feel the same?

Not at all. This is a light emulsion that absorbs quickly, leaving a smooth, hydrated finish — perfect for those who’ve been unsure about traditional tallow creams.

6. Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. This formula includes soothing botanicals such as Kawakawa, marshmallow root, calendula, chamomile, and aloe to support calm, comfortable skin.

7. Will it clog pores?

No. Tallow closely mimics our skin’s natural oils, helping nourish and protect without congestion when used in appropriate amounts.

8. Is it safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

The essential oil concentration is kept very low. If you are highly sensitive or cautious during pregnancy, we always recommend patch testing first or seeking personalised advice.

9. What preservative is used in this cream?

This cream is preserved with Geogard 221 (INCI: Benzyl Alcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid), a gentle, globally approved broad-spectrum preservative commonly used in natural and organic skincare.

It protects the formula from bacteria, yeast, and mould, ensuring your cream stays safe, stable, and effective throughout its shelf life. It is free from parabens, formaldehyde releasers, and harsh synthetic preservatives, making it suitable for sensitive and family-friendly skincare.

Because this product contains water and herbal infusions, a preservative is essential for safety. We choose preservation carefully so your skin is protected without unnecessary exposure to harsh ingredients.


10. What is Cetearyl Alcohol & Cetearyl Glucoside in this cream?

We use Olivem 1000 (INCI: Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside), a naturally derived emulsifier made from plant sugars and fatty alcohols.

Its role is to gently bind water and oils together, creating a smooth, stable cream without disrupting the skin barrier. Unlike older synthetic emulsifiers, Olivem 1000 is known for its skin-friendly feel and compatibility with sensitive and reactive skin types.

It also helps support hydration by mimicking the structure of the skin’s natural lipid barrier, contributing to the soft, lightweight texture of this cream.

11. What do you mean by “no nasties”?

When we say “no nasties,” we mean this cream is made without unnecessary fillers or harsh, outdated ingredients that don’t support skin health. We do not use parabens, synthetic fragrances, mineral oils, petroleum derivatives, silicones, PEGs, or phthalates.

Instead, every ingredient is selected for a purpose — to hydrate, protect, soothe, or support your skin barrier. From our grass-fed WA tallow and cold-infused botanicals to our gentle, globally approved preservative system, this formula is designed with both performance and safety in mind.

We believe skincare should nourish your skin, not compromise it.

Is this product for me?

This cream was developed after hearing from family members who loved the nourishment of tallow but wanted something lighter for daily use and has become a staple in our household.

It’s for you if you:

  • Prefer a cream that absorbs quickly and feels weightless
  • Usually avoid rich or oil-based products but still want deep hydration
  • Need a year-round moisturiser that won’t clog pores
  • Love tallow’s skin-loving nutrients but want a gentler introduction
  • Prefer low toxic skin care but still want the plump forming Hyaluronic Acid
  • Want the benefits from a water-based cream, such as reducing fine lines with Hyaluronic Acid and Marshmellow.

Whether you’re new to tallow or already a fan, this formulation offers a beautifully balanced, easy-to-love alternative.


Every ingredient in this formula has been chosen with safety, skin compatibility, and long-term skin health in mind.
