Based on the Somerset Devon boarder, we hand make small batch tallow products using beautiful local ingredients. We wanted to create products with a minimal impact on the environment, a smaller carbon footprint and use local ingredients and that would have otherwise been thrown away! 

​

We use local grass fed tallow and local by-products such as beeswax, waste beer & cider, charcoal fines and foraged botanicals. All our packaging is recycled, reused and plastic free.

​

Simple

Our tallow products contains only natural ingredients and pure essential

oils.

NO PALM OIL & NO NASTIES

​

Our ingredients - Why Tallow?

Tallow is beef fat. It has been used for centuries to make soap and skincare

and for good reason. It's incredibly compatible with our skin. The tallow we

use is from lovely local farms and our own small holding. It is from

grass fed cattle & often organic. We want to support regenerative

farming and are lucky to live near some wonderful farms with fantastic

practices

 

Tallow is already used across the beauty industry from lipstick to big

brand soap (look for 'sodium tallowate'). It's skin loving - The fatty acids

in grass fed tallow are similar in molecular structure and composition

to those found in the layers of our skin and, as a result, incredibly

moisturising. Rich in vitamins A, D, E & K tallow is naturally compatible

with our skin. No, we are not a vegan product  - coconut oil and shea butter are great but we choose to use amazing skin loving fats and oils that haven't been imported to keep our carbon footprint lower. We believe that if we raise animals to eat then we need to use every part -  not throw it away! 

 

Botanicals

                                                            We have a large herb garden next to our workshop where we grow a lot                                                             of the botanicals for our products. The botanicals we use infuse their                                                     goodness and properties into our skincare and are chosen for                                                                            their skin loving properties. We often forage for wild botanicals                                                                   such as hips to super power our skin care products. We also use                                                                 botanicals to dye our tallow and beeswax to make handmade, clean candles

​

Local Waste

                                                             We love meeting local artisans to pick up their waste. From beer less                                                               than 5 miles down the road to charcoal & botanicals from our own                                                           village - we use these by-products to produce a beautiful soap that doesn't cost the earth.
