Two of our bestselling products recreated for winter.
A powdery, comforting scent with a silky finish, built from real ingredients and pure essential oils.
The scent is our take on a winter evening. Soft lavender, a touch of vanilla, a smooth orris note, and the floral depth of jasmine grandiflorum. The deodorant version adds labdanum and benzoin for a slightly deeper, resin like warmth that still feels light and wearable.
The dream duo.
The body cream gives the deep nourishment cold weather demands.
The deodorant brings a clean, comforting scent that stays close to the skin.
Together they create a winter routine that feels simple, warm, and grounding.
The bundle includes:
1 x Velvet Dust Tallow Body Cream
A rich, melt in tallow body cream for deep winter nourishment. Scented with lavender, vanilla, orris, and jasmine grandiflorum for a soft, powdery, refined finish.
1 x Velvet Dust Tallow Deodorant
A gentle but effective natural deodorant that stays comfortable on sensitive skin. Scented with lavender, vanilla, orris, jasmine grandiflorum, plus labdanum and benzoin for a warm winter depth.
Both products are handcrafted in small seasonal batches using grass-fed Irish tallow and pure essential oils.

View AllIrish 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ (Body Cream)
What’s the difference between this cream and your Original Tallow Balm?
The Tallow Body Cream is soft, smooth, and easy to spread - a true moisturiser for daily, full-body use. It has a light texture, a gentle velvety scent, and absorbs quickly, leaving skin hydrated without greasiness.
The Original Tallow & Honey Balm is richer, denser, and designed more like a healing salve. It contains raw honey and olive oil, making it ideal for barrier repair, dry patches, and sensitive skin. It has a more waxy, occlusive finish.
Use the cream for everyday moisture.
Use the balm when your skin needs protection, calm, or deeper repair.
Can I use the cream on my face?
Yes - the ingredients are non-comedogenic and suitable for most facial skin types. If your skin tends to be oily or reactive, start with a small amount and apply to damp skin. It’s especially lovely on dry, mature, or wind-exposed skin.
Is it suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
Generally, yes. The base (tallow, jojoba, beeswax) is very gentle and well tolerated. However, the essential oil blend may be too much for ultra-sensitive users or those with fragrance sensitivities. For a scent-free option, try the Unscented Tallow Body Cream.
Will it leave my skin greasy?
No - this cream was made to feel light and breathable. It absorbs fully when used sparingly and massaged into damp or dry skin. There are no synthetic fillers, so you don’t need much.
What does it smell like?
It’s lightly scented with a natural blend of lavender, vanilla, jasmine and orris essential oils. It’s warm, powdery, and subtle - never overpowering. Just enough to make the experience feel special.
Can I use the balm and the cream together?
Yes - and many of our customers do. Use the cream as your daily go-to moisturiser, and the balm as a protective layer when your skin feels dry, cracked, or irritated. They layer well and serve different needs.
How long will a jar last?
A little goes a long way. With daily use, a 120ml jar typically lasts 1–3 months. Because there’s no water or fillers, each ingredient directly supports your skin.
Will it melt in hot weather?
It’s stable for most climates thanks to the beeswax, but like any tallow-based product, it may soften in heat. If it feels too soft, simply let it rest at room temperature or refrigerate briefly.
Is this product handmade?
Yes. Every jar is handcrafted in small batches using traditional methods. No outsourcing, no shortcuts - just simple, ancestral ingredients blended with care.
I can’t use essential oils, what do I do?
That’s ok! We also have an Unscented Tallow Body Cream. It's the same but without any essential oils so it's perfect for anyone with sensitivity to essential oils.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQ (Deodorant)
How does Ancestral Cosmetics Tallow Deodorant work?
Our deodorant works by neutralising bacteria that are the main cause of body odour. Gentle ingredients like magnesium hydroxide and non-nano zinc oxide neutralise bacteria that are causing body odour and ingredients like arrowroot powder help to absorb the sweat instead of stopping the body from sweating.
Does Tallow Deodorant contain aluminium?
No, tallow deodorant doesn’t contain aluminium. It also doesn’t contain any parabens, preservatives, triclosan, artificial fragrances, refined seed oils or petroleum-based ingredients.
Is Tallow Deodorant an antiperspirant?
No, Tallow Deodorant is NOT an antiperspirant. Antiperspirants usually contain aluminium that completely prevents the sweat, blocking the pores and trapping the sweat (and toxins) in your body.
This prevents the natural detoxification process and can cause health issues. Tallow deodorant neutralises odour-causing bacteria and helps to absorb sweat, keeping you smelling good while not disrupting the body's natural detoxification processes.
I am still sweating while using deodorant, is this normal?
Yes, sweating is a normal and healthy way for our body to detoxify itself and it shouldn’t be prevented. Our deodorant won’t stop you from sweating but active ingredients inside will help to absorb the sweat keeping you dry most of the time.
However, everybody sweats differently and some people sweat more than others so they may need a different approach or more regular application. If you struggle to stay dry or if you just prefer drier pits, we recommend applying 2-3 swipes every 3-4 hours.
How often can I apply my deodorant?
We recommend 2-3 gentle swipes 1-2 times per day but if you want drier pits, you can reapply it every 3-4 hours.
Does tallow deodorant contain baking soda?
No, our tallow deodorant doesn’t contain baking soda.
Do you use perfume (fragrance) in your formula?
No, we don’t use perfume or fragrance oils in our deodorant.
Our scented deodorants are made with a blend of 100% pure essential oils and our unscented deodorant is essential oil free.
I am sensitive to essential oils, what deodorant should I choose?
Our Unscented Deodorant has been created for people sensitive to essential oils or looking for a neutral scent in their deodorant. It is formulated without any essential oils and has a natural scent.
How to apply tallow deodorant?
- Hold to pit to soften for 5-10 seconds with your hand (or hold the deodorant on your armpit).
- Swipe down 2-3 times
- Smell great
For external use only. Skin sensitivities may occur. Do not apply directly after shaving. Do not over-apply or use on broken skin. Keep out of reach of children.
How long will one deodorant last?
One deodorant tube should last between 2-3 months depending on the use.
My deodorant is too hard, what do I do?
Our deodorant is made from only natural ingredients and as such can be more susceptible to temperature changes. It is normal for tallow deodorant to be slightly harder during colder months. To soften it, hold it on the pits for 5 seconds or longer if needed and then give it a swipe.
Is this deodorant going to stain my clothes?
Our deodorant won’t stain clothes if applied correctly. We recommend applying the deodorant after putting on your clothes. 2-3 swipes is all it takes so don't overdo it.
Store it at room temperature, away from sunlight to make sure your deodorant has the right structure to use.
Why are you using plastic packaging instead of cardboard for your deodorant?
While cardboard deodorant tubes are being touted as a sustainable alternative they come with some significant drawbacks.
The cardboard is not waterproof nor oilproof which means the product would leak out unless the tube is lined from the inside with a water/oilproof liner. So cardboard tubes come with a thin plastic (or soy paper) liner on the inside, similar to paper coffee cups.
This hair-thin liner has a much higher potential to melt and leak into the product when a hot deodorant is poured in than hard plastic containers do.
Manufacturers of these cardboard tubes often try to hide the contents of the liner itself, which often contains questionable chemicals like BPA or BPS, even though they are promoted with nice sounding names such as "soy paper liner".
At the same time, those cardboard containers are just a pain to use as deodorant needs to be pushed up with a finger, leading to overusing or wasting deodorant, and messy containers that get banged up when travelling or taking your deodorant to the gym.
So our conclusion was that cardboard tubes are neither healthier nor more sustainable in the long run compared to virgin plastic tubes we use.
