Irish grass-fed tallow makes all the difference.

Our skincare starts long before it reaches your hands.

It begins on Irish land, under soft rain and endless green pasture.

Ireland’s mild climate and rich soil create one of the most unique environments in the world for raising healthy, grass fed animals.

Cows here graze outside for most of the year, moving through fields that stay green even in winter. This slow, natural way of living produces tallow that is richer, softer and more nourishing than anything created in intensive farming systems.

Fresh suet only.

Every week local farmers deliver fresh fat to our facility in Enniscorthy, in Ireland. Not frozen, not oxidised and never stored for months. Fresh, clean and full of natural nutrients.

We melt it.

We render it ourselves with low heat and patience, the same way our families did for generations. This is hard, manual labour. No other brand is crazy enough to go through this pain.

Hand made.

Every jar is hand crafted in Ireland. Because skincare should not be fake, watered down or mass produced. It should be real, honest, nourishing. Made with ingredients so clean you can eat them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ - Clarifying Cream

Seed oils are bad. Why are you using "seed oil"?

Most commonly crucified seed oils today (canola AKA rapeseed, sunflower, soy, corn) are highly processed, bleached and deodorized with chemicals. This processing adds harmful chemicals to the oil itself making it unsuitable for human use.

These oils can have an unbalanced Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio and are generally high in PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) making them unsuitable for use in food and highly susceptible to oxidation when heated (aka cooking).

Black seed oil is an ancient oil. It's minimally processed by cold-pressing it (similar to olive oil) which preserves all the beneficial compounds in the oil such as thymoquinone and doesn't add any harmful chemicals in the process.

Extracted the way our ancestors did it thousands of years ago.

Can I use Clarifying Cream in the morning?

Yes, our Clarifying Cream is perfect to be used in the morning as a standalone product, as part of your skincare routine or under makeup. Can also be used in the evening instead of night cream as a last step in a skincare routine.

Can I use Clarifying Cream with other acne treatments?

Yes, our clarifying cream can be used in combination with other acne treatments or skincare products as your daily moisturiser.

Does Clarifying Cream work on breakouts?

Black seed's main active compound Thymoquinone has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties so it can have positive effects on breakouts. Combined with raw honey, beef tallow and essential oils that have proven track record of calming breakouts and cleaning up the pores, the Clarifying Cream can be beneficial for anyone with acne-prone skin.

This product is not intended to treat any skin condition and we cannot claim that it does. This is a skin moisturiser.

Is Clarifying Cream only for oily skin?

No, Clarifying Cream is perfect for all skin types including dry and normal skin types. This is because of our mix of ingredients such as tallow which is used as a moisturiser for dry skin and black seed oil and jojoba which are both excellent in hydrating the skin.

Can I use Clarifying Cream if I have dry skin?

Yes, clarifying cream is perfect for all skin types including dry and normal skin. It will provide intense moisturisation while being light and non-greasy on the skin.

Why do you use black seed oil in your cream?

Black seed oil is an ancient oil used in skincare for thousands of years. Thanks to its main active compound thymoquinone, it is an extremely potent antioxidant and offers antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties while being completely safe and natural.

Are there any essential oils in this cream?

Yes, we use 100% pure organic essential oils of Clary Sage, Chamomile and Rose Geranium. The concentration of the essential oils is very low but just enough for them to provide their therapeutic and beneficial effects on acne-prone skin and oily skin especially.

Is Clarifying Cream made from beef tallow?

Yes, our clarifying cream is made from only the purest 100% grass-fed Irish beef tallow, the same one we use in our Original Tallow & Honey Balm and our other products.

What's the difference between Clarifying Cream and the Original Balm?

The Original Tallow & Honey Balm is an all-purpose tallow-based balm. It is a rich moisturiser suitable for anyone and all parts of the body.

Our Clarifying cream is made with beef tallow too but it’s specifically formulated to be used on the face, especially on oily or acne-prone skin.

Is this cream a whipped tallow balm version?

Our Clarifying Cream has a smooth, soft and thin texture but it is not a version of whipped tallow balm. Whipped tallow balm is usually just tallow and a touch of other oils whipped to get a soft texture. This is a carefully formulated tallow cream with high-performance ingredients to get the best benefits to the skin.

Winder, US 🇺🇸 The clarifying set is absolutely the best skin care regime on planet earth

The clarifying set is absolutely the best skin care regime on planet earth. If I follow these steps as outlined, my face feels like heaven. I clean my face with the charcoal cleaner. Put it on dry! Then wash off with a warm towel or just get in shower after. At night I apply the clarifying cream and then in morning the original tallow and honey balm. Using the three products together is not only good for my face and skin, but my mental health. I am in a better mood when I consistently use these three together. And even if I don’t get the day perfect, any time of day I can use any of them is a win.
