How Can We Help You?
What is tallow, and why is it good for the skin?
Tallow is a natural, nutrient-rich fat derived from grass-fed cows, and it’s packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K—all essential for healthy, glowing skin. At Salcombe Tallow, we use locally sourced, grass-fed tallow that’s combined with cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, honey, beeswax, and lavender essential oil—ingredients we lovingly produce ourselves. This powerful blend deeply nourishes, hydrates, and restores your skin’s natural elasticity, helping to smooth fine lines, reduce dullness, and promote a healthy, radiant complexion. It’s the natural, wholesome skincare your skin has been craving.
Where can I use tallow, and is it suitable for all ages?
You can use Salcombe Tallow anywhere your skin needs some love! It’s perfect for your face, body, hands, and even sensitive areas. Our tallow is gentle, deeply nourishing, and free from harsh additives, making it safe and beneficial for all ages—from babies to grandparents.
Does tallow smell like beef?
Our tallow has a mild, natural scent, but it doesn’t smell like beef fat! We carefully render and purify it to create a clean, neutral base. Some of our blends also include natural essential oils for a light, pleasant fragrance.
Is tallow suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin?
Yes! Salcombe Tallow is deeply nourishing and works beautifully for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. It’s rich in vitamins and fatty acids that support skin health without clogging pores, making it a gentle and effective choice for hydration and balance
Are your ingredients organic and free from chemicals or preservatives?
Yes! Our ingredients are 100% organic, pure, and free from chemicals or preservatives. We carefully select our suppliers, craft with intention, and use sustainable packaging—ensuring every step is thoughtful, natural, and kind to your skin and the planet.
Will tallow clog my pores?
No. Salcombe Tallow is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog your pores. It deeply nourishes while letting your skin breathe, making it perfect even for acne-prone and sensitive skin.
Is your tallow sustainably and ethically sourced?
Sustainability and ethics are at the heart of what we do. Our tallow comes from carefully chosen suppliers who prioritise animal welfare and regenerative farming. By using every part of the animal with respect, we minimise waste and create skincare that’s as kind to the planet as it is to your skin.
How do I store my tallow balm, and how long does it last?
Our stability testing and Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) confirm that our tallow balm has a minimum 12-month shelf life. These tests ensure it remains safe, effective, and of the highest quality, so you can enjoy it with peace of mind.
