With oils closely mimicking those produced by our bodies, our tallow soothes dry and irritated skin
New Zealand's most-loved whipped tallow balm. A pure, natural tallow cream for skin, made in NZ — the tallow balm NZ families reach for on dry, flaky and sensitive-feeling skin, loved by 100,000+ customers.
Skip the pricey creams full of chemical nasties — this light, whipped balm soaks in fast and leaves dry, rough-feeling skin looking soft, smooth and comfortable.
What makes Primalcare tallow balm different?
- It's a whipped tallow balm — most others aren't — which means it soaks in much better.
- The best value tallow on the NZ market: more, at better quality, for less.
The tallow balm NZ trusts for skin
Grass-fed NZ tallow, whipped light in small batches in Christchurch. It's the tallow for skin NZ families reorder — a pure tallow cream households keep on the shelf, and the one parents reach for first on dry, flaky and sensitive-feeling skin. Real tallow for skin, made in NZ, loved by 100,000+ customers.
Ingredients (Vanilla Rose): Tallow, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens (Rose Geranium) Oil, Parfum* (*a blend of natural plant oils including vanilla). We use high-grade grass-fed suet, wet-rendered and filtered 6 times, with organic cold-pressed jojoba oil for extra lift and a smoothing feel, plus natural essential oils for aroma. Available in 8 scents — Vanilla Rose, Natural (fragrance-free), Mānuka Vanilla (most loved), Lavender, Frankincense, Mānuka & Blue Tansy, and two limited editions (Cacao & Blood Orange, Ylang Ylang & Buckthorn).
How to use: Apply a small amount to face, neck, hands or feet — morning as a moisturiser, evening as a night cream. Best on slightly damp skin. Works face + body, and doubles as a monthly hair conditioner. Keep between 18–25°C, out of direct sunlight. Always patch test a small area first; the fragrance-free Natural is the gentlest pick for very sensitive skin.

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.
Loved for calmer, softer-feeling skin
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."
