Irish grass-fed tallow makes all the difference.

Our skincare starts long before it reaches your hands.

It begins on Irish land, under soft rain and endless green pasture.

Ireland’s mild climate and rich soil create one of the most unique environments in the world for raising healthy, grass fed animals.

Cows here graze outside for most of the year, moving through fields that stay green even in winter. This slow, natural way of living produces tallow that is richer, softer and more nourishing than anything created in intensive farming systems.

  • Fresh suet only.

    Every week local farmers deliver fresh fat to our facility in Enniscorthy, in Ireland. Not frozen, not oxidised and never stored for months. Fresh, clean and full of natural nutrients.

  • We melt it.

    We render it ourselves with low heat and patience, the same way our families did for generations. This is hard, manual labour. No other brand is crazy enough to go through this pain.

  • Hand made.

    Every jar is hand crafted in Ireland. Because skincare should not be fake, watered down or mass produced. It should be real, honest, nourishing. Made with ingredients so clean you can eat them.

UNSCENTED Tallow & Honey Balm
Kristina Blome (Ennis, IE)
What I was looking for.

Finally a creme that I can tolerate. After having spend so much money on a huge number of 'natural' cremes, I finally found one that I don't react to. Love the way it feels on my skin. It feels so nourished and calm. So glad, that I finally tried it. Immensely grateful xx

Love love this product!

Can you believe....

I just love your tallow creams . My skin feels so hydrated and plumper! I have recommended your creams to friends.

Original Tallow & Honey Balm
Kirsty Flaherty (Yate, GB)
Fully committed

Dubious at first, thought it was a media hype. However this is my night time moisturiser now, I’m on my 4th pot! It feels so good on my skin, I wake in the morning and my skin feels moisturised still without any residue on my pillows. I’ve received lots of compliments on my glowing skin and how good it looks for my age (40) I have bought many expensive creams over the years and this is my now go to. I highly recommend this product!

Best Tallow I've Tried

I've tried several tallow products, but when I saw that this is made in Ireland, I was sure I had to try it. And oh, my goodness, it is exactly what I've been looking for. My age spots are going away (I'm 70) and I feel like my skin glows. You must give them a try. Products are in the US so it isn't shipped from Ireland

We're delighted to hear you love the tallow balm, thank you so much for sharing your experience! All our products are actually handmade in Ireland from Irish grass-fed beef tallow and we ship them fresh every week to our warehouses (Utah for USA, Suffolk for UK and Dublin for Ireland) so the closest warehouse will always deliver your order so that it arrives fast and with local post. That's why your order was sent from Utah.

Really love the texture and smell but especially love using it knowing it's a pure product with no added nasties. I put it on my face every night, I love it.

Fantastic - a game changer

After unsuccessfully trying numerous natural moisturisers to try and help with dry skin and perioral dermatitis this has been a game changer. Completely cleared my skin and is a super affective moisturiser too. Very happy I took a chance to try it

Unscented Tallow Body Cream

There’s nothing better!

I have been using products from Ancestral Cosmetics for over a year and their products are the best (and believe me - I have tried everything). I started using the Unscented Tallow Body Cream recently and find it to be another incredibly moisturizing and skin soothing product. I’m hooked, and have shared their products with my family, who also are delighted with the results.

Try it - you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful skincare

I have only been using this product for a week, and my skin is no longer dry. My skin is soft, and has a lovely glow. Speedy delivery and it smells lovely.

All 4 Ancestral Cosmetics products I’ve tried have exceeded expectations and prompted me to give as gifts this year to spread the word..

Love all the products I’ve tried!

So far I have used the tallow and honey balm, baby protection balm, the clarifying cream, and the cleansing balm and I love them all. The cleansing balm is perfect in the dry winter for daily use. It has kept my face from being perpetually chapped. I use the clarifying cream and tallow balm after cleansing and despite layering tallow on tallow, it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. My hands are also saved by the tallow and honey balm. I have used several brands of tallow products, but this one is the best.

Great Product

I like the addition on the geranium EO, it improves the smell of the product and reduces the slightly 'beefy' smell.

Great on skin and smells so good

Every winter I would use Drunk Elephant's Marula Oil but found it not enough and some of the oil sits on the face and then goes onto the pillow. The next morning my face would be dry and itchy in some areas (especially this eczema patch near my brows).. However, this is not the case for the clarifying cream, it absorbs well with just a little and the Geranium smells so great (reminds of the time I used Young Living's Geranium oil, beautiful fragrance). The next morning my face retained the moisture, not dry and not oily. No longer have that tight itchy feeling. Chose this over the original Tallow Beam as I was concerned about the oiliness. I think this one is great, will get my teenage daughter to try on her acne prone face. Sits well under make up and even after long morning walks in this cold weather, the skin is still fine!

Tallow Body Cream
Bern (West Drayton, GB)
Elbows so SOFT

I have been using castor oil, Jojoba oil, Primrose oil, Cerave and Vanicream in the past and none actually softens/moisturises the elbows as well as this. And it did so just on the first application. I was telling my 13 yo daughter that I recently bought a body cream made of cow fat and she was giving me the mum's gone crazy look. Anyways the both of us used it and almost immediately the cream just absorbs into the skin leaving it soft and not sticky or oily! She is a believer now... that tallow works and mummy is not crazy ! Smells marvellous too! She now joins me on the bed before her bed time to get a tiny bit of tallow for her elbows :)

Simply amazing!

I bought Tallow & Honey Balm for my husband who had been struggling with his skin. He had been using cortisone creams for some time but was merely fire fighting his symptoms.
Within 2 weeks of using the balm everyday his Skin looks desensitised, nourished and really healthy.
I would really recommend giving this wonderful balm a try.. even if you just want to nourish your skin.

Tallow & Honey Lipbalm (Peppermint)
Deborah Pistella (El Paso, US)
SO good

I used chapstick what felt like 24/7 and never felt lips as smooth and hydrated as I do now with the tallow honey lip balm. Works and doesn’t need to be applied multiple times a day, we love it!

Love it!

Started using this over a month ago and love it. I’m super sensitive to most products but this one is soothing and feels so good. Love it!🥰

My favorite tallow

Tallow Sun Balm
Helen G (Selby, GB)
Daily staple (even in the British weather)

We're told all the time to protect ourselves from the sun, but most SPF sets my skin off. Didn't have anything to lose when I tried this.
I admit the super-thick texture and brilliant white made me think of a well-known nappy cream brand (you know the one: grey tub, white label with the red logo) - that would be the zinc used to keep the UV away (said nappy cream also has zinc).
It is December, the jar is cold in my bathroom - but after 5 seconds or so on my face to warm up, it smooths in beautifully, and soaks in almost invisibly within 5 minutes. Then I pop a bit of powder and blush on and start my day.
It just happens to contain my favourite aromas of essential oils, so was an instant hit.
I use this daily, yes, even when it is pouring with rain!

Lovely

Very soothing, rich and thick. I only need a very small amount.
