Updated: Aug 4

If you’ve been searching for a clean, potent and deeply nourishing moisturiser, Primal Wellness’ tallow-based skincare might just be the answer. Inspired by ancestral wisdom and backed by real results, our new range of handmade tallow balms combines traditional ingredients with modern wellness needs, helping your skin thrive naturally.

Whether you're navigating hormonal changes, postpartum healing, urban pollution, or simply looking for a more aligned skincare ritual, this range is made for you.


What Is Tallow, and Why Does It Work?

Tallow is nutrient-dense animal fat, traditionally rendered from grass-fed cows. Unlike synthetic moisturisers or even many plant-based oils, tallow closely mimics the structure of human skin sebum. This makes it highly bioavailable, meaning your skin recognises it and absorbs it with ease, delivering deep, lasting hydration.


Key Benefits of Grass-Fed Tallow:

  • Rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K

  • Supports skin barrier repair and collagen production

  • Non-comedogenic and suitable for sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin

  • Naturally anti-inflammatory and soothing


What Makes the Primal Wellness Tallow Range Different?

This is skincare the ancestral way; radically nourishing, deeply restorative, and stripped of all the junk. Primal Wellness uses only 100% grass-fed, halal-certified beef tallow, rich in fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), to mimic the skin’s natural oils and support long-lasting hydration and barrier repair.
