A gentle oil-cleanse — melts makeup away without stripping your skin
Removing your makeup shouldn't be a scrub-down. Harsh wipes and removers are drying solvents that strip your skin — and makeup dissolves best with oil, not detergent. It's the old rule: like dissolves like. Our Tallow Cleanser melts and lifts away makeup, sunscreen and stubborn mascara with soothing grass-fed tallow and gentle coconut-derived cleansers, then rinses clean. No scrubbing, no tugging.
Tallow's fatty acids are close to your skin's own oils, so it dissolves the day the way your skin understands — clean and comfortable, never that tight, stripped feeling. Gentle enough for sensitive, reactive skin. Naturally derived, NZ made, lightly scented with rose geranium.

The Tallow Cleanser is our newest skincare launch — these are verified reviews from customers across our wider tallow skincare range. Not everyone's tried the cleanser yet, but 100,000+ Kiwis trust the range it's built on.
"Went on a whim to try the tallow range for my dry, reactive skin as nothing else seemed to be working — it's so gentle. So glad I made the switch."
"My skin used to feel tight after washing (menopause) but with the tallow range it feels comfortable and nourished, not stripped."
"My skin has always been so reactive I'd flare at the smallest thing. After a couple of weeks with this range it's noticeably calmer — and softer. Worth every cent."
"Switched from a popular salon brand because of all the fillers. Way gentler on my skin, and the rose geranium scent is subtle and natural — not overpowering."
"Worth every cent. I love that it's NZ-made and the ingredients are simple. Lasts ages. My skin feels healthier than it has in years."
"I recently bought their balm, lotion, lip balm and soap. My daughter and I have had great breakthroughs in our combination/dry skin."
