With oils closely mimicking those produced by our bodies, our tallow soothes dry and irritated skin
Removing your makeup shouldn't be a scrub-down. Harsh wipes and removers are drying solvents that strip your skin — and makeup dissolves best with oil, not detergent. It's the old rule: like dissolves like. Our Tallow Cleanser melts and lifts away makeup, sunscreen and stubborn mascara with soothing grass-fed tallow and gentle coconut-derived cleansers, then rinses clean. No scrubbing, no tugging.
Tallow's fatty acids are close to your skin's own oils, so it dissolves the day the way your skin understands — clean and comfortable, never that tight, stripped feeling. Gentle enough for sensitive, reactive skin. Naturally derived, NZ made, lightly scented with rose geranium.
Why customers are ditching makeup wipes
- Melts & lifts makeup, sunscreen and stubborn mascara — no scrubbing.
- Soothing grass-fed tallow + gentle coconut-derived cleansers.
- Gentle & non-stripping — won't sting, keeps your skin's natural oils.
- Gentle enough for sensitive, reactive skin.
- Naturally derived, NZ made, rose geranium scent.
How to use: Massage a small amount over dry or damp skin to melt makeup, sunscreen and the day away — then add a little water to emulsify and rinse clean. Pat dry and follow with your tallow balm or Reviana moisturiser. Morning and night. Patch test any new product 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.

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."
