The Story of Livia's Tallow
Welcome to Livia’s Tallow, where natural skincare meets love, intention, and a deep desire to care for the people closest to us. The journey began from a heartfelt need: to create pure, nourishing products that truly support skin health.
We are often asked what led us to explore tallow... the full journey of making natural skin care started ten years ago in 2014, when I, Liv, developed cystic acne and made my first batch of all natural cleansing bars to heal my skin and give out to friends and family as gifts, but that eventually fizzled out when life got busy, as is common for most of us. Coming to the present day with creating a Tallow collection, this was inspired when I became pregnant with my daughter. As I prepared to welcome her into the world, I found myself searching for skincare that was safe, natural, and genuinely effective not only for me but also for her—something that didn’t just cover up skin issues but nurtured and restored the skin from within.
Further inspired by friends and family living with dermatitis, eczema, and other skin conditions—and having struggled with early adult acne myself—I knew I wanted to create products that could offer meaningful support. Livia’s Tallow was born out of a desire to approach skincare holistically, focusing on nourishment rather than temporary solutions. Every product is handcrafted with care, using grass-fed and finished tallow from Australian farmers and other skin-loving ingredients. Each jar is made with love, passion and dedication, free from harmful chemicals/synthetics and artificial fillers, ensuring you can trust what’s going onto your skin.
My goal is to bring this small business to the wider Australia and hopefully beyond. With one happy customer at a time.
Thank you for being here and trusting me to be part of your journey. I’m excited to grow with you and share the gift of simple, intentional self-care for you and your loved ones. ♡
Understanding Our Tallow
Our tallow is a simple yet powerful way to care for your skin from head to toe. With a long history of use across cultures, from the Bronze Age (3000 BCE – 1000 BCE) all the
way through to the Present Day, tallow has been trusted for centuries for its natural,
restorative benefits. Of course, initially it may seem unusual to use tallow (an animal byproduct), but its unique composition closely mirrors the oils in human skin. This makes it highly effective
at hydrating, soothing, and restoring balance. Our grass-fed, organic tallow is rich in
essential nutrients and fatty acids that absorb easily, promoting healthy, nourished skin.
Loaded with vitamins A, D, E, and K, it provides deep, lasting nourishment, Omega-3
Fatty Acids that help reduce inflammation, keep the skin moisturised, and improve barrier
function. It also contains linoleic acid, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory
properties, helping to keep skin calm and resilient. Whether you're soothing dryness,
supporting irritated skin, or maintaining moisture, our tallow balm offers natural, effective
care that you and your skin will wish you found us sooner!
