Description

Introducing our premium refined, cosmetic-grade beef tallow from New Zealand. This tallow is specially crafted for skincare, embracing a nose-to-tail philosophy that respects the entire animal. Combining sustainability with ancestral wisdom, it offers a nutrient-rich, ethically sourced ingredient that merges traditional practices with modern skincare needs.

Ethically Sourced and Traceable

Suet is derived from grass-fed, pasture-raised New Zealand cattle and processed to achieve the highest cosmetic quality. It is 100% traceable and NZFAP+ Certified, ensuring all raw materials come from farms that adhere to rigorous standards for animal welfare, environmental sustainability, people and farm management, and traceability.

Superior Rendering Process

Premium, cosmetic grade tallow is produced through wet rendering, which uses lower temperatures to preserve essential vitamins and fatty acids vital for skin health. This method reduces odour and effectively removes impurities, resulting in a cleaner, high-purity product. Low-temperature drying further reduces moisture content to below 0.1%, enhancing safety and longevity. This process also minimizes oxidation and microbial risks, ensuring the tallow remains stable and ready for long-term storage and distribution. The combination of wet rendering and low-temperature drying maintains the nutrient density and quality of the tallow, making it perfect for various skincare applications.
