$34.00

60ml - 2fl.oz

This tallow based healing salve is a staple for your natural apothecary. You can rest easy knowing you and your family are kept safe from harsh chemicals and toxins. Apply topically to heal wounds, minor cuts, burns, bruises, bites, boils and infections. Baby friendly.

Tallow is nature’s most traditional skincare ingredient and has been used for thousands of years by our ancestors. It hydrates, softens, protects, repairs and renews. Tallow mirrors our skin’s natural sebum, making it extremely bio available. It moisturises like nothing you ever experienced, absorbs into the skin beautifully so you are not left feeling greasy. It’s rich in skin-loving ingredients like vitamins A, D, E, K, B12, and essential fatty acids that have anti-inflammatory properties.

Kawakawa is a traditional Māori remedy for various skin conditions like dry irritated skin, eczema and psoriasis. We wild harvest our kawakawa and infuse it for 6 weeks in organic jojoba oil.

Beeswax offers significant skin benefits, acting as a natural moisturiser, protective barrier, and anti-inflammatory agent. Great for locking in hydration, soothing irritation (like eczema/psoriasis), softening skin, supporting wound healing, and protecting against environmental damage without clogging pores, thanks to its emollient, humectant, and antibacterial properties.

Tea tree is native to Australia and has been used as a traditional medicine by the Aboriginal people. Tea tree’s germ-fighting properties make it a valued natural remedy for treating bacterial and fungal skin conditions, preventing infection, and promoting healing. It soothes skin inflammation and can be used to treat and disinfect minor cuts and abrasions. Use it for small, superficial wounds, insect bites, and small boils. May reduce itching, useful for treating acne, herpes, insect bites, scabies, and skin fungal or bacterial infections.

Ingredients: NZ organic grass-fed tallow, organic jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, organic beeswax, wild harvested kawakawa, organic tea tree.

Suitable for both face and body. Can also be used as hand cream or lip balm.

Handcrafted and sustainably made. The tallow used in Rewilding Skincare products is 100% grass-fed from certified organic and regeneratively raised cattle from the Waikato area. I lovingly purify, render and deodorise every batch from my home in Waipu, NZ.

Organic - why is that important?

Rewilding Skincare is made with organic tallow which is free from pesticides and herbicides. When an animal or human body is exposed to fat-soluble toxins, such as certain pesticides or industrial chemicals, it moves them to fat cells to sequester them away from the bloodstream and other vital organs. Storing these chemicals in fat is a survival mechanism to reduce their immediate impact. But these toxins are not easily metabolized or excreted, and are thus transferred up the food chain. Whether we ingest or apply animal-based products topically, both end up in our bloodstream. Your skin is your largest organ and 60% of what you put on your skin gets absorbed into your bloodstream. This is why ORGANIC matters.

Additionally, opting for organic supports soil health, biodiversity, and reduces chemical runoff. We are spraying this place with powerful antibiotics, like glyphosate. That’s anti-life. We are covering our beautiful planet with an invisible layer of dust that is making its way into our bodies. Let’s stop spraying Mother Earth so she can breathe.


Silent revolution - There's a growing movement towards tallow skincare for various reasons, from a trend towards sustainability, provenance and a nose-to-tail approach, to the rise of cottage-core and homesteading, a quiet rebellion driving the return to a more traditional lifestyle, and of course, the clean beauty mega-trend. In its simplest form, in an increasingly complex world, tallow skincare represents a return to a simpler way of living.

How to Use

A little goes a long way. Tallow is firmer in colder climates and softer in warmer climates. On colder days rub a small amount between your fingers or palms before applying to your skin. On really warm days, you might like to pop your jar in the fridge. Apply to your skin for protection, hydration and healing.
