Our Elixir Tallow Foundation is rich in natural and essential vitamins and essential fatty acids like omega-3s and stearic acid. It is suitable for all skin types, and it hydrates, protects, improves and lightly covers your skin — while giving you a smooth and natural look!

Key Ingredients

Grass-Fed & Grass-Finished Beef Tallow and/or Suet

Mimics your skin's natural oils, packed with natural vitamins like A, D, E, K, B12, B3, omega-3s, and stearic acid.

Jojoba Seed Oil

Helps balance oil and strengthen your skin barrier.

Organic Rose Otto Essential Oil

Soothes, hydrates, and gives your skin a healthy glow.

Hyaluronic Acid

Improves skin elasticity, soothes dryness or irritation.

Cold-Pressed Olive Oil

Protects your skin from damage and supports healing.

Celtic Salt

Rich in trace minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium, it helps balance and remineralise the skin while gently supporting a clear, healthy-looking complexion.

Non-Nano Titanium Dioxide

A gentle mineral that helps shield your skin from harmful UV rays.

Kumkumadi Oil

An ayurvedic formulation containing as many as 26 herbs — red sandalwood, licorice, Gokshura, sandalwood, saffron, Laksha, Manjistha, vetiver, Prunus Cerasoides, Madhuca Longifolia, Kantakari, Solanum Indicum, Uraria Picta, Desmodium Gangeticum, Stereospermum Suaveolens, Oroxylum Indicum, Agnimatha, Aegle marmelos, Ficus Lacur, Ficus Bengalins, Indian lotus, banyan, blue water lily, and Berberis Aristata — that together deliver anti-bacterial, skin-lightening, skin-rejuvenating, and anti-ageing properties.

Non-Nano Iron Dioxide

A natural mineral pigment that gives safe, gentle color and coverage. We use non-nano particles, which are larger than 100 nanometres, so they sit on the skin's surface rather than absorbing into it.

Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

Soothes and protects the skin while adding gentle, natural coverage. Sits on the skin's surface to reflect UV rays without penetrating the skin. Anti-inflammatory & anti-bacterial, and safe for humans, marine life & coral reefs.

Silica

Helps absorb excess oil for a smooth, natural-looking finish.

Magnesium Stearate

Binds the formula together for a smooth, even texture.

Beeswax

Locks the formula to your skin so it stays put and glides on smoothly.

How to Use

  • Scoop a pea-sized amount: Take a small amount with a clean fingertip or a small spatula — a little goes a long way.
  • Warm it in your fingertips: Rub it between your fingertips to let the tallow melt and soften before applying.
  • Rub it in: Work the melted balm gently over your face with your fingertips, blending outward for an even, natural finish.
  • Store: Keep capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Storage & Usage

Handcrafted in small batches, our products naturally last 6–12 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Apply to the skin with clean, dry hands as often as needed.

What to Expect

Because we use pure, organic ingredients and no synthetic stabilisers, every handcrafted batch is naturally its own — colour, texture and scent can shift subtly with the seasons and temperature. That small change is the signature of a truly natural product, and it never affects how well it works.

Sensitive Skin

Real skincare should be gentle enough for everyone. If you have sensitive or reactive skin — or new to tallow — we always recommend a quick patch test on a small area first, then wait 24 hours before your first full use.

“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.”

“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.”
