Tallow SA

Founded by Cathie “Cat” Beukes, Tallow SA grew out of curiosity, motherhood, and a kitchen experiment with grass-fed beef fat. Cat discovered firsthand the nourishing power of tallow, for both cooking and skincare, and quickly realised others were searching for the same simplicity and authenticity.

From that first small-batch pot, Tallow SA has blossomed into a proudly South African brand, sourcing ethically from local farmers and honouring nose-to-tail principles. Each product is rendered slowly, filtered carefully, and poured by hand.

A true reflection of the respect they hold for the ingredients, the land, and the people who make it possible.

Today, Cat leads a family-driven team dedicated to transparency, quality, and education. Their range is designed to help people reconnect with simple, wholesome living.

For Tallow SA, wellness starts at home, in the kitchen and on the skin, with ingredients you can trust, and a philosophy that honours both tradition and modern conscious living.

Grass-Fed Beef Tallow

Pure, food-grade beef tallow from free-range South African cattle—naturally rich in fat-soluble vitamins with a neutral, clean aroma. This pure tallow brings steady heat and steady results: a high smoke point for golden, even sears, and a clean flavour. Off the stove, it’s a dependable base for DIY balms, butters, and soap. Firm, stable, and easy to work with. Fry, roast, or bake without fuss; then scoop a little into weekend projects like salves or small-batch cold-process soap.

Hand-Crafted Tallow Soap

Traditional, cold-processed bars made with pure tallow and simple botanicals for a creamy, stable lather that cleans without stripping. They last, they travel well, and they keep routines uncomplicated. Park one at the sink or in the shower for everyday washing, or tuck a bar into a gym bag for an easy, low-waste clean.

Why We Love Tallow SA

Tallow SA is one of those rare brands that makes you stop and rethink what’s really going into your food and skincare. Their approach is simple: trust real ingredients, honour the whole animal, and craft products that genuinely nourish — inside and out.

Their tallow is versatile, stable, and deeply restorative, bridging the gap between nutrition and natural skincare in a way that feels intuitive and empowering.

What sets them apart is their commitment to real ingredients, thoughtfully sourced and crafted with care. They keep everything small-batch, ethical, and hands-on, sourcing grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle from local South African farmers. Every step, from rendering and filtering to hand-pouring and labelling, reflects care, intention, and integrity.

Tallow SA isn’t just about what’s in the jar; it’s about honesty, integrity, and mindful living.
