Why Tallow
Nature’s Most Nourishing Secret
For centuries, our ancestors relied on pure beef tallow to nourish and protect their skin. Once used by farmers and fishermen to withstand harsh weather, this time-honoured ingredient has found new life in modern skincare.
Naturally rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as omega fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), tallow closely resembles the structure of our skin’s own oils. This makes it highly compatible with the skin — providing deep hydration, protection, and regeneration without clogging pores or leaving a greasy feel.
When blended with honey and bees wax, tallow not only deeply moisturizes but also helps strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, making it an ideal everyday essential for healthy, resilient skin.
Our Herefordshire Tallow & Honey Balm restores the natural balance of your skin using ingredients found in the fields, not a factory.
From Butchery to Beauty
Our skincare journey began in our family butchery, D.T. Waller & Sons, where quality, honesty, and respect for the animal have been at the heart of our craft for nearly 50 years.
In our pursuit of true sustainability, we began transforming a humble by-product of our butchery, beef fat into something remarkable: nourishing skincare that honours both tradition and nature.
By turning waste into wellness, every jar of Herefordshire Tallow & Honey helps us reduce waste, support local farms, and reconnect people with truly natural ingredients.
Pure Ingredients, Honest Craft
From our family butchery to your skincare routine every jar of Herefordshire Tallow & Honey is made with natural ingredients sourced from our land, crafted with care, and free from anything synthetic.
Our Ingredients
We use only a handful of pure, natural ingredients — nothing synthetic, nothing unnecessary.
Beef Tallow
Locally sourced from our family butchery, D.T. Waller & Sons in Herefordshire.
We carefully render the pure suet using traditional methods, creating a clean, creamy tallow rich in skin-loving nutrients.
It’s the heart of our skincare — deeply moisturising, soothing, and naturally protective.
Raw Honey
Collected from trusted local apiaries.
Honey is a natural humectant that draws moisture into the skin while offering gentle antibacterial and healing properties.
Beeswax
Beeswax locks in moisture and creates a breathable barrier that protects your skin from dryness and irritation.
It also gives our balm its smooth, silky texture.
Castor Oil
Rich in ricinoleic acid, castor oil helps calm inflammation and adds a touch of natural shine and softness to the skin.
Vitamin E Oil
A powerful natural antioxidant that supports skin repair and helps preserve freshness in every jar.
Essential Oils
We blend only pure essential oils — no synthetic fragrance — to create our three scents:
No Synthetics. No Shortcuts. Just Nature.
We believe great skincare doesn’t come from laboratories it comes from craftsmanship, patience, and respect for what nature provides.
That’s why we’ll always make our balms by hand, in small batches, using ingredients you can recognise and trust.
