How Our Skin THRIVED On Animal Fats Before Skincare Became An Industry

For thousands of years, animal fats were deeply valued and sought after.
They were used as nourishing foods, and just as naturally, applied to the skin to keep it soft, resilient, and protected.

Even Cleopatra, over 5000 years ago used animal fats and honey, valued for how deeply they nourished the skin.

But over the past 50 years, animal fats have gradually been replaced by vegetable oils and their byproduct, both in what we eat and what we put on our skin.

Why? Because Big Skincare created an entire system designed to keep you BUYING MORE AND MORE.

They are focused on selling you routines, layers of serums, moisturisers and toners, wrapped in luxury packaging with promises of anti-aging and glowing glass skin, while the formulas themselves are largely water, with barely any active ingredients and zero results.

At Ancestral Cosmetics, we believe that animal fats like beef tallow are the KEY to healthy and strong skin barrier that conventional skincare leaves behind.

Beef tallow is naturally similar to human skin and have a structure that closely mirrors our own oils, allowing it to absorb deeply and support the skin with ease. .

Because it is coming directly from nature and our skin recognise it, nutrients are absorbed deeply and deliver lasting nourishment, helping skin feel soft, resilient, and without the need for layers of products.

This is skincare in its most complete form, rich, effective, and completely natural - aligned with what our skin truly understands.

Beef Tallow is a VITAL skincare ingredient that has enormous impact on skin barrier

But most people are scared of using tallow on their skin because of fear that won’t smell good, will clog the pores…

At Ancestral Cosmetics, we clean and melt all our tallow in-house. We use only fresh suet, the purest fat from around the kidneys, sourced from Irish grass-fed, pasture-raised cows. Our full-time team hand-trims each piece to remove impurities before slowly rendering it in-house at low temperatures to preserve all the natural benefits of tallow.

This creates clean, skincare-grade tallow without the beefy smell or chemical treatments often found in industrial alternatives. This hands-on, high-integrity process ensures that every jar contains only the finest tallow, crafted specifically for skin.

Meet the founders of Ancestral Cosmetics

Renata and Mihael are parents of four children. While raising our kids our main priority was to give them the healthiest foundation possible. Very soon we realised that everything from food to cosmetics we put on our skin is a potential health hazard.

Even natural cosmetics brands were actually not at all natural, just advertised as such but still contained questionable preservatives, toxic mineral oils derived from crude oil, hormone-disrupting fragrance oils and chemically made cheap fillers falsely advertised as "natural" ingredients.

After we saw the truth of the fake natural cosmetics industry, we decided to make our own cosmetics for our 4 children to make sure we know what exactly goes on our children’s skin.

The moment everything changed was when we discovered the benefits of high-quality beef tallow in skincare. Food is skincare, and what we eat should be the same quality as what we put on our skin.

Our products are all handmade in Ireland with the purest ingredients. Our beef tallow is of the highest quality, 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, from the happiest cows in the world here in Ireland.

Before everything else, we are a family business.

Our kids are part of it, packing your orders and labelling our jars of Tallow & Honey Balm. We promise you that our products will always be made with 100% dedication and all our love poured into them.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Is Tallow & Honey Balm suitable for use on the face?

Yes, Tallow & Honey Balm is perfectly suitable for use on the face as a daily moisturiser.

Will this work on eczema and acne?

This product is not intended to treat any skin condition and we cannot claim that it does. We can tell you however that many of our customers have reported great results with reducing acne breakouts and soothing eczema while using our balm which you can see in our verified reviews. Honey is a natural antibacterial and tallow is soothing on the inflammations.

What can I use tallow balm for?

Tallow & Honey Balm can be used as a general multipurpose moisturiser for both the body and face. Use it to replace synthetic moisturisers, face creams, body lotions, day/night creams, and hand creams...

How to use tallow balm?

Take a small amount of balm in between the palms of your hands, warm it up and then apply it to your skin. You can also apply it directly to your skin, wait a moment until it starts to soften and then gently massage it in.

How often can I use tallow balm?

You can use the balm as often as you need to. Most people use it once or twice per day but this can vary depending on your specific skin type, climate in the area where you live, your lifestyle and other factors.

Our balm is completely natural and highly effective so little goes a long way. Some people use it twice per day or more while some people have great results using it once every other day.

Does the balm smell beefy?

We filter our tallow to make sure it’s nicely purified and there's no beefy smell left. We then add our own blend of pure essential oils for an amazing smell. Some people might be more sensitive to scent than others but most will not smell tallow at all just the goodness of pure essential oils.

What does it smell like?

The Original balm has a gentle woodsy scent coming from pure essential oils we use. The base notes are those of Frankincense and Sandalwood tied together with a small amount of Patchouli and Palmarosa and with a slight floral hint of Neroli and Rose Geranium at the top.

My tallow balm is hard. Is this normal?

Yes, Tallow & Honey Balm can be harder in structure because it’s a completely natural product without any stabilisers which means it's more affected by seasonal temperature changes. This means it will be harder during winter and softer in summer months.

Your balm will likely be harder when it arrives as it's stored in cold warehouses and delivery vehicles on the way to you. Leave it at room temperature for around 24 hours to soften up before using it.

In winter months it's recommended to warm up the balm between your palms and then apply it to the skin to allow for a smooth application. If you find it harder to scoop out with a finger you can use the back of your fingernail to scoop up a small amount of balm.

My tallow balm is soft. Is this normal?

Yes, Tallow & Honey Balm can be softer in structure because it’s a completely natural product without any stabilisers which means it's more affected by seasonal temperature changes. This means it will be harder during winter and softer in summer months.

If you live in a warm climate keep your balm away from direct sunlight. It can be safely kept at room temperature but if it's extremely hot you can store it in a cool, dry place or put it in the fridge if it's starting to melt.

Is your tallow halal?

Our tallow is NOT halal. We use fat from traditionally processed cows. We don't use any of the religiously processed beef.

Can babies and kids use Tallow & Honey Balm?

Our Tallow & Honey Balm is great for kids over 3 years of age. For babies and kids under 3, we recommend our Baby Protection Balm which is specifically formulated for sensitive baby skin & contains a small amount of gentle essential oils so it's perfect for sensitive baby's skin.

I'm allergic to bee products, should I use the balm?

Our Original Tallow & Honey Balm contains both honey and beeswax so if you have any allergies or sensitivities to these ingredients please be mindful of that.

I can't use essential oils, what do I do?

Our Unscented Tallow & Honey Balm is formulated without essential oils, making it suitable for people who prefer products without added fragrance ingredients.
