With oils closely mimicking those produced by our bodies, our tallow soothes dry and irritated skin
Many baby creams contain petroleum, parabens and synthetic fragrances. Our tallow baby butter uses grass-fed tallow that mimics your baby's own skin oils — designed to absorb and nourish rather than sit on the surface. A gentle, natural option for delicate, dry, or irritation-prone baby skin.
Baby skin is much thinner and more delicate than adult skin. Many baby creams rely on petroleum-based ingredients that create a film rather than nourishing the skin. Tallow is different — its fatty acid profile closely mimics the oils our bodies naturally produce, so it absorbs rather than just sitting on the surface.
That's why tallow for babies is quickly becoming the go-to for NZ parents who want something genuinely natural — not just marketed as natural. Made in small batches in Christchurch by the tallow skincare company featured on Seven Sharp.
What's inside
- Grass-fed Tallow — deeply nourishing. Its fatty acid profile closely mimics baby's own skin oils, designed for real absorption rather than surface-level moisture.
- Aloe Vera — known for its calming properties; a gentle, natural choice for delicate baby skin.
- Sweet Almond Oil — nourishes and softens sensitive baby skin without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue.
- Chamomile — traditionally used for its calming and comforting properties; a natural choice for restless little ones.
How to use
Apply a small amount to face and body daily as needed. Designed to hydrate and nourish delicate, dry, or irritation-prone baby skin. Gentle enough for newborns — as with any new product, we recommend a small patch test first.

Common questions
What does it smell like?
Each scent comes from natural essential oils — Mānuka Vanilla is our most loved and masks the natural tallow scent best. Natural is fragrance-free, so you may notice tallow's faint natural scent.
Is it OK for babies and kids?
Families use it head to toe. For little ones we suggest the fragrance-free Natural. Always patch test a small area first.
New to tallow or have reactive skin?
Patch test a small area for 24 hours first. Natural (fragrance-free) is the gentlest pick for very sensitive skin.
Which scent should I pick?
Mānuka Vanilla is the crowd favourite; Vanilla Rose is warm & floral; Natural is fragrance-free. Tap "Scent guide" above the scent picker to compare them all.

"I've got really sensitive skin and have tried creams from everywhere — most caused breakouts or irritated my skin. These are the only ones that have actually worked for me, with no issues."
"My husband recommended tallow and I've been using it for almost a year now for the dry skin on my hands — and it's amazing. I highly recommend it."
"Absolutely love this stuff! Got it for me, then saw how good it is for the kids — so now I'm using it on my toddler and it's amazing!"
"I'm on my 7th jar — so very good for dry, scaly-feeling skin. Love the idea of a big jar."
"I have a trial tub for a dry patch I've had since November. It feels calmer and less irritated — and to find it's made in Christchurch is such a bonus!"
"I've been using this for a couple of weeks and it's done wonders. I only have slight dry skin on my face, but it's worked extremely well."
