Our Story
From our farm to your skin
Our Commitment to Our Families & This Earth
Chantilly's Tallow only sources raw materials directly from our own farm and one other like-minded family friends farm. It matters to us to be ‘a part of the change our children’s children need.’ We both raise 100% Grass-fed, chemical-free cattle, processed on-site with care, using ethical and sustainable farming practices. Our balms are hand crafted in small batches at a time, using mineral rich spring water, sustainable packaging and ingredients you can trust.
From Our Farm – To You
Every jar travels directly from animals we know and care for, through our hands, to yours. No middlemen, no compromises — just pure, honest skincare.
Our Story
Chantilly's Tallow was born from the desire to respect the life of our cows by utilising as many of its gifts and offerings as possible. We started making cooking tallow, then learned a family member was dealing with systemic Acne and Tallow balm might be beneficial for that. So, we made our first batch in Dec 2022, and shared it around the family as Christmas presents.
When everyone started asking for more, we kept making it, and sharing it with friends too, and when they asked for more, we thought we might be onto something!
After improving our production process, partnering with a family friend's farm for back up supply, Chantilly's opened a mini ‘tallow lab’ to offer them to the wider community.
Our Farm
This passion began in 2002 as a mother seeking a more connected, wholesome way to live. Through permaculture study and years of growing food for our family, raising cattle came as a natural next step — animals we could trust, on land we could heal.
On our 100 acre farm in Gippsland, Victoria, we have just begun to move our cattle through rotational grazing systems that give the soil time to regenerate, increase bio-diversity, and improve pasture quality. We can support more cattle of higher quality while offering above-ground and below-ground creatures the opportunity to thrive.
By farming this way and crafting tallow balms with pure ingredients, we feel aligned with the traditional healthy living practices of our forefathers — birthing a piece of the past into the now, for future generations.
