Our tallow balms are crafted from 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef tallow and/or suet — free from endocrine disruptors, synthetic fragrances, and hidden toxins. Tallow is biocompatible (its fatty acid profile is nearly identical to your skin's natural oils, allowing deep absorption without clogging pores) and nutrient-dense (rich in vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12).

What Our Customers Say

Real words from people who use our products every day — in their kitchens and on their skin.

“This citrus tallow balm is incredibly moisturising. It has been perfect for use on dry and sore lips in particular. I apply it right before bedtime, and when I wake up the next day it’s as though my lips were never sore or cracked. It has also been perfect for use on dry heels and hands. I get dermatitis around my wedding band, and this tallow balm clears it up overnight. It is so nourishing and the citrus scent is lovely and mild.”

“I’ve genuinely loved trying Margarita’s Magnesium Tallow Balm. The packaging feels really premium, the peppermint scent is beautiful like an after dinner mint without being overpowering, and the balm itself has such a lovely texture, super easy to scoop, smooth to apply and not greasy at all. LOVE. I noticed a difference in my skin almost immediately after using it, and I can see this becoming such a nice part of an evening wind down, especially for tired mums, athletes or anyone who prefers natural products. I’m still testing it on different areas of the body, but my first impression is really positive and can’t wait to try the rest of the range!”

“I’ve been absolutely loving these products! The tallow skincare has been such a beautiful addition to my skincare routine. It feels rich and nourishing without being complicated, and I love knowing I’m using simple, natural ingredients on my skin. The tallow foundation has also been a favourite. It gives my skin a lovely, natural-looking finish while feeling comfortable and nourishing rather than heavy or cakey. I’ve also been really impressed with the beef tallow and pork lard for cooking. They’re fantastic, nourishing, versatile cooking fats and have quickly become staples in my kitchen. I love being able to use traditional, wholesome fats for everything from cooking to roasting. Overall, I’m really impressed with the quality and versatility of these products. They’ve become firm favourites in both my skincare routine and my kitchen, and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to incorporate simple, traditional ingredients into their family’s everyday life.”

“Natural deodorant — beautiful and nourishing on my sensitive skin with a very pleasant smell that lasts all day. Tallow balm — healing and easy to apply on my dry skin and works wonders! Sunscreen tinted — blends in well, pleasant smell, easy to apply, perfect consistency (not too thick or thin) and works well providing protection against our strong sun rays. Tallow (for cooking) — wow, just delicious! So versatile in the kitchen, my absolute favourite is frying up some chips for my kids. No strong beefy taste and cooks to perfection with an amazing flavour! 5 stars!”

“Since I discovered Ancestral Traditions products at the Dungog Wholefood Co-op I have been using the orange scented beef tallow balm and found it very effective on dry skin. The Lard is another great product and I’m using it in my cooking regularly where I would have previously used vegetable oil for roasting vegies, frying meats and vegies. I’m looking forward to trying it out the next time I make pastry as it’s a very versatile product with a mild flavour. I particularly like knowing that there has been no chemical processing in the production. And what’s even better – it’s locally produced!!”

“Tallow deodorant review. Feeling so happy and grateful to be able to use this locally sourced and hand crafted range. I love the natural deodorant, it does the job beautiful, works great, smells delicate and is environmentally friendly. Ticks all my boxes for quality and ethics. Foundation review. Another amazing product. I gifted this product to my teen daughter who had been asking to start trailing some makeup. I wanted something to nourish her skin, give her some coverage, without damaging pores and that it be natural and safe. She’s been very happy using it and I feel confident of it’s quality and properties.”
