With oils closely mimicking those produced by our bodies, our tallow soothes dry and irritated skin
A fresh, invigorating tallow cleanse. Our classic tallow shampoo bar base, made with grass-fed tallow, blended with caffeine, rosemary oil and peppermint oil for hair that looks and feels thicker and fuller — and a bright, awake scalp feel. Silicone-free, made in NZ, loved by 100,000+ customers.
Peppermint gives a gentle cooling tingle as you wash — the fresh, wide-awake feel that people reach for in a morning shower — while tallow cleanses gently without stripping.
What caffeine, rosemary & peppermint bring
- Caffeine is widely used in scalp and hair care for a fresh, invigorated wash.
- Rosemary oil has been studied for supporting the look of fuller, healthier-looking hair.
- Peppermint oil gives that signature cooling, tingly-fresh scalp feel.
Why customers switched to tallow haircare: naturally derived, made in NZ, no silicones, caffeine + rosemary + peppermint, plastic-free, and real ingredients on the label.
How to use: Wet your hair and the bar. Rub the bar directly over your scalp and through the lengths, or work it between your hands to build a lather, then massage in. Rinse well. Follow with conditioner if you like. Use as often as you'd usually wash. Between washes, keep the bar on a well-drained soap dish so it dries out — it'll last far longer. Store below 25°C and out of direct sunlight.
Ingredients (120g): Sodium Tallowate, Aqua, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Olivate, Sodium Castorate, Glycerin, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Caffeine, Mentha Arvensis (Peppermint) Leaf Oil, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Chromium Oxide Greens (CI 77288), Sodium Chloride.

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.

4.7 ★★★★★ · Hear what customers say
"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."
