What it is

A whipped moisturiser built on grass-fed beef tallow, honey extract and cold-pressed olive oil — softened with shea butter, squalane and calendula, and whipped with water into a cream.

That last part is the whole point. Most tallow products are straight rendered fat: nourishing, but heavy, slow to sink in, and impossible to wear under makeup. Whipping tallow into a water-based cream keeps the lipid profile and loses the grease.

Why tallow

Tallow's fatty acid profile is unusually close to the lipids human skin makes itself, and it naturally carries vitamins A, D, E and K. 

Ingredients

As printed on the jar: WATER, TALLOW, SQUALANE, TOCOPHEROL, OLIVE OIL, COCONUT OIL, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA BUTTER), CALENDULA OFFICINALIS EXTRACT, HONEY EXTRACT, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN.

No added fragrance, no essential oils, no dyes.

How to use

1. Take a pea-sized scoop. Clean fingertip, small amount. It goes much further than a conventional moisturiser, and too much is the only way to make it feel heavy.
2. Press into damp skin. Straight after cleansing, while your face is still slightly wet. Press rather than rub — it spreads on its own.
3. Give it thirty seconds. Then makeup, sunscreen, or bed. Also good on hands, elbows and heels.

Good to know

• Unscented, but tallow and honey have a faint natural warmth of their own that fades within a minute or two.
• Store the jar somewhere cool — below 25°C keeps the texture whipped.
• Made for sensitive skin. Patch test first if you're reactive.
• Not suitable for vegans — tallow is rendered beef fat and honey extract comes from bees.
