Whether it be walking down the supermarket isles, or shopping online, the market is oversaturated with the numerous amounts of soap there is for us to pick from. Here at Matakana Tallow Co, we believe in making traditional body care that contains minimal ingredients.

In a small cabin, tucked behind the Matakana Village Butchery, a family-led collective is turning a traditional, often overlooked ingredient into simple, natural skincare, building a distinctly local narrative along the way.

Shaped by friendship and grounded in tradition, Matakana Tallow Co is a skincare brand built on simplicity and time-honoured ingredients.

Dry and sensitive skin requires support at the barrier level. Tallow's fatty acids and vitamins make it a natural option for nourishing without harsh chemicals.

Grass-fed beef tallow isn't just a trend - its unique composition makes it biologically compatible with human skin. The fatty acids in tallow closely resemble the lipids in human skin, helping lock in moisture and support skin health [Tallow Original, 2023].
