Herefordshire Tallow & Honey: From Field to Face 🌾
For over four decades, D.T. Waller & Sons has been dedicated to honouring the animal and respecting the land, providing only the highest quality, locally sourced beef and meat to our community. Our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and zero-waste has always defined us.
Now, we are proud to introduce the next evolution of that commitment: Herefordshire Tallow & Honey, a line of exceptional, all-natural skincare born directly from our butchery heritage.
The Circular Economy: Transforming Heritage into Healing
In our pursuit of the highest-grade beef, a rich, pure by-product remains: beef fat. While nowadays, it is traditionally dismissed as waste, we see it like the old ways; as a valuable, nutrient-dense natural resource.
Herefordshire Tallow & Honey is our bold step into the circular economy. We are repurposing this exceptional beef fat—sustainably sourced from the very Herefordshire farms we champion—and transforming it through a traditional, slow rendering process into a potent, yet gentle balm. This is the ultimate expression of "nose-to-tail" ethics, ensuring the full value of the animal is used, minimising environmental impact, and turning waste into genuine wellness.
This product is not just skincare; it's a testament to our family's innovative spirit and a promise to our land.
The Skincare Secret: Why Tallow?
For centuries, our ancestors knew that the fat from grass-fed animals contained powerful, healing properties. This ancient secret is the foundation of our product.
Beef Tallow is uniquely compatible with human skin. It shares a striking similarity with the structure of the oils (sebum) our skin naturally produces, allowing for deep, unparalleled absorption. Our tallow is rich in vital, fat-soluble vitamins:
- Vitamins A, D, E, and K: Essential nutrients that nourish the skin at a cellular level, promoting regeneration and anti-ageing.
- Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA): Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, making it profoundly soothing for irritated or dry skin.
- Omega Fatty Acids: The building blocks that lock in moisture and create a supple, protective barrier.
Pure Ingredients, Pure Craftsmanship
Just as we select the finest local meat, we carefully source every element of our Tallow & Honey formulation. We permit zero synthetics—only natural ingredients from the field, not the lab.
