What’s the science behind the beef fat trend?
At Bathers Balm, we believe in using what nature gives us — nothing more, nothing less. And when it comes to deeply nourishing, skin-compatible ingredients, tallow is truly unmatched.
So, what is tallow?
Tallow is a vitamin-rich fat traditionally rendered from the suet of grass-fed animals. It’s been used for centuries to nourish and protect skin—and for good reason.
Tallow closely mimics our skin’s natural oils, making it incredible bioavailable and deeply restorative. It’s packed with vitamins A, D, E & K, plus essential fatty acids that help strengthen the skin barrier, lock in moisture, and soothe irritation.
At Bathers Balm, we source only the purest kidney fat from grass-fed cattle raised on a local farm here in Western Australia. We gently render it in small batches, carefully removing water and impurities to preserve its skin-loving nature. The result? A smooth, clean-smelling balm that melts into your skin and works in harmony with it.
Tallow truly reflects what Bathers Balm stands for—slow, intentional beauty that embraces nature, reduces waste and delivers real, lasting results for everybody. Ancient wisdom, thoughtfully redefined.
