I was navigating those raw first days of breastfeeding, with cracked and painful skin, and I needed something 100% natural — with the fewest ingredients possible — that was safe for both me and my newborn.
My mum — my biggest support through that whole season — went looking for an answer. That’s when we discovered tallow. We found a jar at our local markets, and within days my skin had healed. I started using it on everything: baby massages, nappy rash, my own face. I’ve always had oily skin, and tallow turned out to be the only moisturiser that didn’t feel heavy.
A few months in, I tried making my own. Grass-fed tallow from the local organic butcher, a bottle of jojoba oil, and a few of mum’s essential oils — whipped together on my kitchen bench. Friends tried it, asked for jars. That’s when Byron Pure Tallow began.
This is more than skincare. It’s for the mums who want to feel safe about what they put on themselves and their little ones — pure, simple, nourishing. A return to honest skincare, poured by hand from Byron Bay.
