Cleanse your skin just like our ancestors did - the tallow cleansing revolution has just landed!
The oil cleansing method is based on the fact that oil dissolves oil and that's why we formulated our Tallow & Charcoal Cleansing Balm.
Beneficial fats and oils can penetrate deeply into the skin and can dissolve impurities and build up. Our tallow cleansing balm is expertly formulated to be effective in cleansing and dissolving impurities, has strong detoxifying qualities thanks to the charcoal and at the same time, it nourishes the skin and keeps the skin barrier intact.
Our Tallow & Charcoal Cleansing Balm is free of harsh surfactants, sulphates or any other chemicals commonly used in cleansing products. These compounds can strip our skin of its protective oils.
We only use natural ingredients like grass-fed beef tallow, castor oil, activated charcoal and pure essential oils that not only help clean and purify the skin but also deliver nutrients and vitamins our skin needs.
Grass-fed Beef Tallow shares similar oils to our skin and that makes it ideal to use in cleaning balms. It will help to gently dissolve the buildup while providing nourishment and intense moisturisation to the skin. We source only premium 100% grass-fed beef tallow from local farms that is high in fatty acids and vitamins.
Organic Castor Oil comes from the beans of the Ricinus Communis plant and has a long history of being used for medicinal purposes including for skin health. Its many benefits make it one of the most beneficial oils for skin and hair use.
It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and is very effective for acne-prone skin or calming down breakouts. Castor is an astringent oil which means it’s extremely effective in cleansing, purifying pores and removing buildup. It also helps balance the sebum production.
Activated Charcoal has purifying and detoxifying properties. It absorbs the buildup and impurities leaving the skin visibly cleaner. Charcoal is extremely effective in unclogging the pores and can help calm breakouts thanks to its antibacterial properties. It will maintain skin healthy, clean and balanced.
Essential Oils of Manuka, Clary Sage and Rose Geranium offer synergistic benefits to the skin. They have clarifying properties, help to balance the sebum and calm the irritations.

Let customers speak for us
Amazing product that does exactly what it says on the tin .. I have been using the honey and clarifying balm for over a month now and it has given me a new lease of life when it comes to confidence in my aging process .. I am 61 years old
I have been using the tallow and honey balm for a few weeks. The results are incredible. I’m 46 and I feel like this product has turned back time.
My skin feels hydrated, smooth, and my age spots have disappeared. Highly recommend for all ages. Perfection in a jar.
Loving it so far! Skin is definitely more supple and less dry and ive only been using it a week! Smells absolutely delicious too! Recommend!
I had to come here to leave this review because I'm so obsessed with this product!
Let me start by saying I have spent hundreds of dollars this year trying to find the right moisturizer that doesn't require a whole product line to see some results.
I'm 39 and my skin has started to change. It's more dry and I really have to use a lot of moisturizer + primer to get an even application of my makeup. I have been searching for something simple that didn't leave my skin oily.
I saw Ancestral Cosmetics advertised on Instagram and I decided to give it a shot. It had good reviews, was priced fairly, and i love the idea of natural ingredients. I tried it a few times and I'm obsessed!
-the scent is amazing
-you only need a tiny bit and it just melts right into your skin (i warm mine up in my hand first before applying)
-i use this under my makeup up and get the most even application AND i can smell it under my makeup up!
I will definitely be ordering again!
Delighted with this product. My daughter suffers with really bad eczema. I noticed an improvement after just one use. After 4 days of use there was a significant improvement of her skin. I have started using it on my face and dry patches. It's a fabulous product. I have already re-purchased a number of jars to make sure I always have some in stock. Photos were taken 3 days apart. I didn't take a picture before using the product so this picture was taken after first use.
This stuff is fantastic! I use it on my face and hands. since this is the unscented version, there is a slight tallow smell when first applied, but that quickly goes away. It has made my skin so soft and gotten rid of my dry patches. Even my sister noticed and asked me what I was doing differently!! She took my hand and looked at it because she said she noticed how the light was reflecting off of it. I said it’s the tallow balm!!
I was hesitant to try a new product for my face, especially at the price point this is at. I have been using this for a full month now, and have used maybe 1/6 of the jar. Seriously a tiny tiny amount (pea size) goes a long way, the moisturizing benefits are insane. Very emollient, does not leave me greasy, I live in Alaska and it is dry as heck here in the winter. This has been a game changer for me and my dry skin. Have definitely noticed a difference in the overall appearance and health of my skin, I can go without wearing foundation now which is incredible. I have noticed great glow, healthy complexion, chin/jawline acne has pretty much disappeared. I am a lifetime buyer now and definitely excited to look for body products. For reference I am 38, female, very dry and hormonal skin. Buy buy buy this stuff. I will easily get months out of one jar, so the price is absolutely worth it
Love your products but ordered this originally for my 9 year old she licks her lips and nothing works ! She has sore broken lips so we thought this would help as she can take her pot into school ! And it does all cleared up and she loves the feel taste and smell of it ! I’ve been using it makes your lips so soft and it will defo be an all round staple for us now ! Amazing 10/10 my mum has just ordered some and your tallow cream for her hands too !she uses it morning with tallow balm for skin and couple of times in school and of a evening and it cleared her lips up in about 3 days x
First of all I want to thank Mihael for the absolute best costumer service, as I firstly purchased the ‘Unscented Tallow and Honey Balm’ and didn’t work for the type of issue on my face. However he offered me their ‘Clarifying Cream’ with no extra charge, and I’m absolutely thankful for that.
I’ve attached a compilation of how my face has looked throughout these years, nothing would work for me, I’ve spent thousands and I swear nothing would work, there was always a breakout, itchiness, etc. Second compilation are photos from this week some of them on direct sunlight, I cannot put into words how different I feel and look. Still have some spots due to many years of picking my face but how quickly these spots are fading is astonishing. Thanks for this cream.
Long story short, I SEVERLEY damaged my skin barrier by overusing topical actives to the point my skin burned with anything applied. After deciding to go back to the bare minimum and only tallow as my day/night product and we have healing!!! Not perfect by any means,but better than it was 2 months ago. Let this be a visual reminder to not be afraid of smile, primal, but effective. Thank you all, and thank you unscented honey tallow!
My girl and I love all the products. The original honey and tallow balm works wonders, quickly. She’s obsessed with that one. I’m obsessed with the tanning oil. The sun screen balm with tallow and zinc is wonderful for the face and absorbs nicely. We just ordered the new black seed oil clarifying cream and are excited to add it to our skin care regime. Point is, we love this company and their all natural products! Tallow for the win.
Me and my husband have been looking for natural skin care and oral health. This product does not disappoint. I have chronic dry lips and the lip balm is amazing. The face cream smells great! And the sun balm works on our 4 year old daughter!!!!
It took two weeks for my skin to adjust to the Tallow balm, no it didn't completely magically resolve my hormonal acne instantly but it has made it SO MUCH BETTER! This works better than my retinol without fading my freckles. It also got rid of my acne scarring faster than Retinol and made my smile lines shallower in only a month. I love this product and recommend it to all my gals with difficult skin.
I love this product so much. My rosacea is calming and my skin feels plump and healthy. I’m 53 1/2!!! I use this morning and night on my face and décolleté.
It smells so good too!!! I will purchase over and over!!!!
I’ve been searching and searching for a moisturizer that keeps my face hydrated and dewy all day and this is the stuff right here. I’ve tried every cream from Sephora to Pharmacy Store but nothing quite did the job perfectly I always ended up having to re add or having to just deal with dryness on the skin but only the smallest amount keeps my face and body so moisturized. I’m obsessed with this I use it everywhere I see any dryness on the skin but mainly my face has never felt and looked this great. I am totally a forever customer.
