Our story

Back to the essentials

FrenchTallow was born from a simple conviction: skin doesn't need twenty ingredients to be nourished. It needs the right one. By rediscovering beef tallow — the very material our grandmothers once relied on — we found a rare affinity with human skin.

Hand-crafted tallow
Our material

Grass-fed tallow, carefully purified

We select tallow from grass-fed cattle, then slowly purify it to obtain a pure, stable and virtually odourless base. Nothing else is added — no water, and therefore no preservatives.

  • Traceable origin, grass-fed herds
  • Artisanal small-batch purification
  • Hand-packed in France
  • A nose-to-tail philosophy, against waste

What we believe in

Transparency

A single ingredient, spelled out in full. INCI : Tallow.

Made in France

Every jar is hand-packed, in small batches.

Minimalism

Exactly what skin needs, and nothing superfluous.

Zero waste

Honouring a noble material rather than discarding it.

“You should only put on your skin what you could eat.”

It's the phrase that guides every one of our decisions, from the choice of raw material to the design of our jars.
