The things people ask us most before their first jar.
No. It's whipped light so a little melts straight in within about a minute, leaving a soft, non-greasy finish. A pea-sized amount goes a long way.
Your choice — pick from 8 scents, or go fragrance-free with Natural. Every scent comes from essential oils, never synthetic fragrance.
It's made for dry, sensitive and reactive skin and keeps to a short, simple ingredient list. As with any new product, patch-test on your inner arm first.
Lots of parents do, on dry patches and cheeks. It's just tallow, jojoba and (if you choose) essential oils — always patch-test first, and check with your health professional if you're unsure.
Most people find it sits comfortably without clogging, but everyone's skin is different — patch-test if you're prone to breakouts.
For daily face use, a 120ml jar typically lasts around 2–3 months. A little melts a long way, so it stretches further than it looks.

Fast delivery and free postage. Fantastic product — life changing for me. I now have 'normal' skin.

I was sceptical at first but wanted to veer away from products that contained all sorts of chemicals, so I gave it a try — and I have not been disappointed at all!

Amazing quality product for an affordable price. Locally made is a bonus. Good communication, great service — I will continue to purchase.
