Our Story: Nurturing Skin and Community with Pure, Natural Care

Hello! I'm Mikaila, a proud mum of three living in the beautiful Northern Rivers region of Australia. Together with my partner Daniel, we’ve dedicated over 20 years collectively to the health and wellness space. My journey began in nursing, where I developed a deep understanding of health and well-being, and transitioning from the medical industry to wellness felt like a natural step. Pachamama Tallow has allowed us to apply our combined knowledge to ensure our family thrives in a world increasingly filled with environmental toxins.

A Passion for Pure, Non-Toxic Living

Every day, we strive to minimise our exposure to toxins in every aspect of our lives—from the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe to the products we use on our skin. It was this passion that inspired me to create our first Tallow Balm. Initially crafted for my family, word quickly spread within our community, and soon, friends, family and clients were asking for their own. What started as a small, family-run endeavour has blossomed into a mission to provide everyone with safe, natural skincare solutions.

Sourcing the Purest Tallow

At the heart of our products is 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef suet fat, sourced from the kidney region of cattle. We partner directly with a NSW butchery who works directly with local independent Australian farmers who uphold the highest welfare standards. These farmers raise their livestock free-range, ensuring that no added hormones, herd antibiotics, or intensive feedlots are involved. The cattle are processed on-farm, meaning the abattoir comes directly to the farm which eliminates the unnecessary stress associated with live transport, which in turn improves the quality of the fat.

The rendering process is gentle and meticulous. The fat is heated to a liquid state without exceeding 85°C (minimum 75°C), ensuring that all the beneficial nutrients are retained. This careful preparation guarantees that our tallow is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A, D, E, and K, providing unparalleled nourishment for your skin.

Supporting Local and Sustainable Practices

We deeply value community and sustainability. All our ingredients are sourced from local businesses within the NSW area, fostering a supportive ecosystem where we all thrive together. By choosing to support local farmers and suppliers, we help maintain a beautiful, interconnected environment that benefits everyone.

Embracing Mother Earth

We honour and respect Mother Earth (Pachamama) by using sustainable, ethically sourced ingredients. Our commitment to the flora and fauna in our products means we handle every ingredient with the love and care it deserves. This reverence extends to our entire process, ensuring that each product not only benefits your skin but also supports the health of our planet.

A Family-Run Business with Heart

Our business is more than just skincare—it's a family affair. We handcraft each product with love, from pouring and labelling each jar to personally delivering your orders to the post office, often with our kids helping along the way. This hands-on approach ensures that every product you receive is made with the utmost care and dedication.

Building a Better World Together

We believe that when we support one another, we create a thriving ecosystem for all. By choosing our products, you're not only taking care of your skin but also contributing to a community that values sustainability, ethical practices, and the well-being of our environment.

Thank You
