The Natural Power of Tallow: Why Leaf Skincare Embraces Suet-Based Skincare

We believe in the importance of utilising nature’s wisdom to heal, hydrate and protect your skin. One of our star ingredients—tallow, derived from suet (the fat surrounding the kidneys of NZ grass-fed animals) has been used for centuries in traditional skincare. Today, it’s making a well-deserved comeback, and for good reason.

Here’s why:

🌿 Deep, Lasting Moisture

Tallow is rich in saturated fats that closely resemble the skin’s own natural oils. This means it deeply hydrates without clogging pores, leaving your skin soft, supple, and balanced all day long.

🌿 Packed with Skin-Loving Nutrients

Tallow is a powerhouse of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are essential for skin health. These nutrients support cell regeneration, repair damaged skin, and promote a radiant complexion.

🌿 Strengthens the Skin Barrier

A healthy skin barrier is key to retaining moisture and defending against environmental stressors. Tallow reinforces this barrier, helping your skin stay resilient and hydrated.

🌿 Naturally Soothing

Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, tallow is ideal for calming irritated or sensitive skin. Whether you’re dealing with eczema, rosacea, or dermatitis, tallow can help soothe and restore comfort.

🌿 Promotes Healing & Repair

The unique blend of nutrients and fats in tallow supports wound healing, reduces redness, and can even help fade scars over time. It’s a gentle yet effective way to nurture your skin back to health.

🌿 Anti-Aging Benefits

Tallow contains antioxidants like Vitamin E, which help combat free radicals and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The result? Skin that looks youthful, firm, and glowing.

🌿 Pure & Non-Toxic

Our tallow-based products are free from synthetic chemicals, preservatives, and artificial fragrances. They’re perfect for sensitive skin and those seeking a truly natural skincare solution.

🌿 Biocompatible with Human Skin

Tallow’s molecular structure is remarkably similar to human sebum, making it easily absorbed without leaving a greasy residue. It works in harmony with your skin, not against it.

Leaf Skincare NZ is proud to offer products that are rooted in tradition and crafted with care. If you’re looking for a skincare solution that’s natural, effective, and deeply nourishing, tallow might just be your skin’s new best friend.
