About Us

Welcome to Taranaki Tallow™ Skin Care! We're a small farm-based company with a big heart for sustainable, traditional skincare. Our journey began right here on our little piece of paradise in Eltham, South Taranaki, nestled beneath the majestic Mt Taranaki, in the heart of farming New Zealand.

A Nod to Donald: Our Inspiration

Our logo is more than just a picture of a cow—it's a tribute to a special member of our farm family: one of our first animals, Donald. His strong presence inspired the friendly face that represents our brand today. Every time you see our logo, you're looking at the handsome guy who helped start it all.

The Source: Pure Taranaki Goodness

We believe the secret to beautiful skin starts with the land. Living on rich, green pasture with clean Taranaki air means our ingredients benefit from a pristine environment. Our hero ingredient is the best local grass-fed Taranaki Tallow.

Tallow has been used in skincare for centuries because it's packed with the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) your skin loves, and its fatty acid profile is incredibly similar to the oils our own skin naturally produces, making it uniquely nourishing and easily absorbed.

Our Philosophy: Whole-Animal, No Waste

Our passion goes beyond skincare; it's about sustainability and respect. As farmers, we are committed to using the whole animal, ensuring minimal waste. By transforming a simple, nutrient-dense byproduct into a luxurious, effective balm, we honour the animal and provide a product that is both ethical and environmentally responsible.

Crafted with Love and Care

Every jar of Taranaki Tallow Skin Care is made with love and care. We combine our traditional, time-honoured methods with other pure, carefully-sourced ingredients to create a balm that is simple, powerful, and effective.

Our goal is to supply you with a sustainable product that not only feels incredible but truly works to cleanse, nourish, and revive your skin—just like the land that inspired it.

Thank you for supporting our farm, our philosophy, and a more sustainable way to care for your skin.
