The BOTALLOW Story – Premium Cosmetic-Grade Tallow Supplier

Pioneering the Future of Cosmetic Tallow

At BOTALLOW, we provide the highest quality, refined, and shelf-stable New Zealand grass-fed beef tallow for skincare formulators, manufacturers, artisans, and beauty brands.

If you're searching for cosmetic-grade tallow, you've come to the right place.

Why Tallow? A Powerful, Ancestral Skincare Ingredient

Tallow has been used for centuries in natural skincare, thanks to its skin-nourishing properties, rich lipid profile, and bioavailability. Unlike plant-based oils, beef tallow closely mimics human sebum, making it one of the most effective and deeply hydrating natural moisturisers.

However, not all tallow is created equal—which is why we founded BOTALLOW.

From Pasture to Purity: The BOTALLOW Story

BOTALLOW began with two childhood friends, Sara and Jane, who grew up in Taranaki, New Zealand—a region known for its world-class beef and dairy farms.

After successfully selling her award-winning natural skincare brand, Sara became an industry leader, testing and judging New Zealand’s Best of Natural Awards. It was then that she discovered a small-batch tallow balm. Intrigued, she gave it to Jane, a passionate skincare enthusiast, who immediately saw its potential.

Determined to create her own pure, nutrient-rich tallow, Jane sourced local Taranaki beef suet, rendered it herself because there were no quality tallow options available for skincare. 

Why We Created BOTALLOW

As Jane searched for a consistent, high-quality source of refined tallow, she quickly realized the market was lacking cosmetic-grade purity. The available options were:
❌ Culinary-grade tallows – strong-smelling, inconsistent, and often blended with other fats.
❌ Low-quality, unrefined tallow – prone to rancidity, impurities, and poor performance in skincare formulations.

At the same time, Sara had swapped her 12-step skincare routine for a single tallow-based balm and saw better skin results than ever before.

Together, they decided to fill the gap in the market—launching BOTALLOW, New Zealand’s first dedicated supplier of high-quality, refined, cosmetic-grade tallow.
