Why Us?

The tallow skincare industry is blossoming rapidly, and while it’s exciting to witness the revival of animal-based beauty, we believe that the key to truly effective skincare lies in slow-made formulations.

At Wild Haven Skin, we’re committed to going back to our roots. Our tallow-based skincare is handcrafted using traditional methods, thoughtfully designed to nourish, heal, and restore your skin’s microbiome.

How We Render Our Tallow

Our tallow is delicately rendered from pure beef suet at low heat, ensuring the integrity of its nutrient profile while minimizing odor. We never bleach, strip, or deodorize our tallow, as we believe in keeping things as pure as possible. Each batch varies slightly in scent and texture, reflecting the beauty of working with real, living ingredients.The end result is the purest tallow for your skincare needs.

Our tallow is sourced from small family farms, where animals are pasture-raised, 100% grass-fed and finished, and never given hormones or antibiotics. By partnering with farms that prioritize soil health and the wellbeing of their animals, we ensure the sustainability of our ingredients. 

Merging Tallow with Botanical Wisdom

We go beyond typical tallow balms by merging the nourishing properties of our 100% grass-finished tallow with whole plant infusions, therapeutic-grade essential oils, and botanical extracts. By working with the best of both the animal and plant worlds, we’re able to create multi-purpose products that go well beyond just moisturizing the skin. 

Low-PUFA Oils That Work With Your Skin

Many tallow companies formulate with olive oil, which can be pore-clogging and counterproductive for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin, as well as formulate with high-PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) oils like sunflower, almond, or rosehip oil, which are prone to oxidation, causing free radical damage, inflammation, and premature aging. 

Instead, we formulate our products with organic golden jojoba oil, a low-PUFA oil that closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum. Jojoba is non-comedogenic and absorbs quickly — making it the perfect complement to our tallow.
