About our tallow

Tallow is nature’s original skincare ingredient. It's a deeply nourishing fat rendered from grass-fed beef suet that mirrors your skin’s natural sebum.  This allows for rapid absorption, supporting long-lasting moisture balance without the need for synthetic moisturisers.  Perfect for sensitive, dry, or stressed skin, tallow offers a pure, nourishing alternative to conventional skincare.

Sourcing Our Tallow

At Dew Kind, we are proud to support New Zealand farmers by choosing certified organic suet from small, trusted farms.  Our cattle graze freely on organic pasture, with no growth hormones, antibiotics, or GMO feed.  This ensures pure, nutrient-rich tallow that works gently with your skin, providing a deeply hydrating and protective balm.

✔️ No Growth Hormones – Our cattle grow naturally, as nature intended
✔️ No Routine Antibiotics – Raised in low-stress, healthy environments
✔️ No GMO Feed or Additives – Pasture-raised, chemical-free cattle for the purest tallow

Why It Matters

The quality of tallow is directly tied to how the animals are raised. Conventional grain-fed farming produces lower-quality fats, while our organic, grass-fed tallow is abundant in vital skin-nourishing nutrients.

This means our tallow is rich in:

Omega-3 Fatty Acids – To help reduce inflammation and promote skin repair
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) – To support skin elasticity and firmness
Vitamins A, D, E & K – These essential vitamins fortify the skin’s barrier and promote balance

This makes tallow one of the most skin-compatible, nourishing moisturisers nature has to offer.

Why We Use Organic Jojoba Oil

We blend our tallow with organic jojoba oil, a light, non-comedogenic oil that mimics skin's natural sebum.  It absorbs quickly, deeply hydrates, and supports skin repair with antioxidant-rich vitamin E.  Combined with tallow, it creates a soothing balm that offers both protection and restoration.

Botanical Infusions for Gentle Care

Our balms are slowly infused with whole organic vanilla pods & calendula and chamomile flowers.  These botanicals add a layer of gentle nourishment without harsh additives, helping to calm and restore even the most sensitive skin.  With no essential oils added, it’s simply pure, nourishing tallow, blended with organic jojoba and botanicals for skin that feels as good as it looks.
