Platbakkies Tallow Treats

How many products did you use this morning? 👀

Most of us apply several personal care products before breakfast without giving much thought to what's in them.

This quiz is a fun way to take stock of your routine and start thinking about the ingredients you're putting on your skin each day.

Remember, this isn't about fear—it's about making informed choices. Even replacing just one or two products with simpler, thoughtfully formulated alternatives can be a great step toward a lower-tox lifestyle.

Has your tallow become firmer? That's a good thing!

Unlike many conventional skincare products, we don't add artificial softeners or stabilisers to keep our tallow the same consistency year-round. Instead, we let nature do what it does best.

Because our products are made with high-quality, nutrient-rich suet, they naturally become firmer as temperatures drop and soften again with warmth. It's a sign you're using a truly natural product, not one that's been heavily processed.

Simply warm a small amount between your fingertips, keep your jar in a slightly warmer spot, or gently warm the closed container in lukewarm water if needed. It will melt beautifully into your skin.

Natural skincare changes with the seasons—and we're proud of that. 🤍

Most people think carefully about what they eat… but rarely about what they put on their scalp every single day.

The average woman uses around 12 different hair products regularly — exposing herself to 100+ different chemicals every month.

And because your scalp is highly absorbent, those ingredients don’t just stay on your hair.

The good news? Haircare doesn’t have to be complicated.

When your scalp is properly nourished, simple and clean ingredients are often more than enough 🤍

Tallow vs conventional skincare… which one do you choose?

Modern skincare often promises healthier skin — but many products are filled with synthetic ingredients, harsh preservatives, fragrances, and fillers that can disrupt your skin barrier and impact the environment at the same time.

Tallow is different.
Because it’s naturally rich in vitamins and fatty acids that closely resemble the oils found in human skin, your skin recognises it, absorbs it, and knows how to use it.
Simple. Nourishing. Effective.

And when sourced well — especially from nutrient-rich suet — tallow also supports a more sustainable, less wasteful approach to skincare.

If you’ve been struggling with acne, chances are you’ve been told to dry it out.

But here’s the truth:
Most acne-prone skin is actually damaged, inflamed, and overtreated.
That’s why switching to something simple, like tallow, can make such a difference.

The key? Using it correctly.

Too much, too fast, or on already overloaded skin can work against you. But when used properly, tallow helps support your skin barrier, calm inflammation, and restore balance.

If you’re tired of complicated routines and products that don’t work, this might be your sign to simplify 🤍

“Natural” doesn’t always mean natural.

In the tallow skincare space, greenwashing is more common than people think — and it often hides in plain sight.

From suet vs trimmings, to beeswax “hiding” lower-grade fat, to long ingredient lists that overcomplicate a simple product… there’s a lot to watch for.

Here’s what no one is telling you. 🤍
