What is Tallow?

Tallow is a remarkable skincare ingredient with a rich history and numerous benefits. Derived from rendered suet (fat), typically from cows, it has been used for centuries due to its unique composition that closely resembles the structure of human skin lipids. Here are 7 reasons why tallow is amazing in skincare (swipe across to find out):

1. Moisturising Power

Tallow is incredibly moisturising, thanks to its high concentration of fatty acids and lipids. These components help replenish the skin's natural barrier, keeping it hydrated and supple. As a natural emollient, tallow softens and smooths the skin's texture, giving it a luxurious feel without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue.

2. Rich in Vitamins & Minerals

Tallow is packed full of bioavailable fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, which are essential for skin health, contributing to skin repair, antioxidant defense, and overall skin resilience. Additionally, it contains essential minerals such as zinc and selenium, crucial for supporting skin repair and providing antioxidant benefits, promoting healthy, radiant skin.

3. Skin Barrier Support

The similarity between tallow and human skin lipids means it integrates seamlessly into the skin barrier. This strengthens the barrier function, protecting against environmental stressors and preventing moisture loss.

4. Antimicrobial Action

Tallow contains antimicrobial properties that can help combat acne-causing bacteria on the skin's surface, contributing to clearer skin over time. Despite being an oil-based ingredient, tallow is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores. Its balanced composition helps regulate sebum production, reducing the likelihood of breakouts.

5. Anti-inflammatory

Tallow possesses anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe irritated skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis, promoting faster healing and relief from discomfort. Due to its gentle and natural composition, tallow is suitable for sensitive skin types that may react to harsh synthetic ingredients commonly found in skincare products.

6. Anti-ageing

Tallow's composition, rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with essential minerals like zinc and selenium, make it beneficial for anti-aging skincare. These nutrients support collagen production, reduce oxidative stress, and promote skin elasticity and firmness. The fatty acids in tallow deeply moisturize and help maintain the skin's natural barrier, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular use of tallow-based products can help combat signs of ageing, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin over time.

7. Environmental Benefits

Tallow is a sustainable ingredient, often sourced as a byproduct of the meat industry, making it a responsible choice for eco-conscious consumers. All of our products are made from 100% grass-fed Australian beef tallow.

What people are saying..

I absolutely love my tora tallow balm. I've been using it daily for the past 5 months and my skin is so soft and supple. After 6 years of trying everything and anything I could get my hands on to help my sons eczema, I started using the tallow balm on his skin and within 30 days, he's had a dramatic change. I'll never go back

TORA tallow balm is the best product hands down for babies! Great for eczema, nappy rash, face and even massage lotion. So great to have the one lotion for everything!

I love the tallow. I use it on my hands and face. It actually gets rid of wrinkles!!

The Tallow balm is very moisturising and as soon as you apply it to your skin you can feel it absorbing. I love the lemon myrtle and eucalyptus as it is refreshing and masculine but not overpowering. I use it on my face and hands daily and also for my body. I have recommended it to quite a few of my tradie friends for their dry hands and they love it.

My sister recently gave me a tin of tallow balm, best gift ever! Makes my hands and face feel so smooth and moisturized, and my husband uses it on his cracked heels, so good! You've got a customer for life. Now I've learned more about it, I've just got to throw out all the toxic skincare products I've used in the past.

My holy grail for dermatitis - I have tried every steroid cream and natural remedy under the sun and this is the only thing that has worked for me! So nourishing and a little goes a long way. Hands down the best remedy for eczema and dermatitis.

About Us

Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a herbalist, homesteader, mother of three, and the heart and soul behind Tora Naturals. My journey toward holistic wellness began through my own struggles with health issues, skin challenges, hormone imbalances, and years of infertility. In search of natural solutions, I discovered a deep passion for nutritional healing, the transformative power of plants, and living a more balanced, natural lifestyle. This path ultimately led me to study herbalism, where I embraced the Vitalist approach to healing—a philosophy that focuses on the body’s innate ability to restore balance. It also inspired me and my family to leave the hustle and bustle to embrace a life of homesteading in the breathtaking hills of rural Southwest Victoria, where we could fully align our lives with the natural world around us. Surrounded by nature’s beauty, I continue to immerse myself in the research and study of health, nutrition, herbalism, and root cause healing, while crafting natural remedies, skincare solutions, and wellness products with plant-based ingredients and nourishing animal products like grass-fed tallow. Tora Naturals was born from a commitment to sustainability and a passion for using only 100% natural ingredients. With every product I create, my aim is to nurture not just your skin, but your overall well-being, offering a holistic approach to health that supports a balanced, natural lifestyle. Join me on the journey toward greater wellness, radiant skin, and a more natural way of living with Tora Naturals, where holistic wellness is always at the heart of what we do.
