Small-batch skincare from Matakana

Handcrafted in Matakana, New Zealand, Matakana Tallow Co creates traditional tallow-based skincare using locally sourced grass-fed beef tallow and minimal, carefully selected ingredients. Inspired by time-honoured skincare methods and a simpler approach to everyday moisturising, each batch is made in small quantities with a focus on quality, traceability and compatibility with the skin.

The tallow is sourced from local family-owned farm Matakana Local Prime, where cattle are grass-fed and raised in small herds, reflecting the brand’s close connection to the Matakana region and commitment to thoughtful sourcing. The brand also uses mindful packaging choices, with products housed in reusable glass jars with aluminium or tin lids.

Rich moisture with naturally nourishing ingredients

Naturally rich in fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E and K, tallow works alongside nourishing oils and essential oils to help soften, moisturise and replenish dry skin. The range includes scented and unscented creams designed to support the skin barrier while keeping formulations simple and gentle for everyday use.

Made without unnecessary synthetic ingredients, Matakana Tallow Co products are crafted to leave skin feeling calm, supple and deeply nourished.
