Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is beef tallow, and why is it good for the skin?
Beef tallow is rendered fat from cattle. We use it because it closely matches the natural oils your skin produces, allowing your body to recognise and absorb it instantly. It is naturally packed with essential vitamins A, D, E and K, alongside calming fatty acids that deeply hydrate, protect and support the skin barrier.
Will this moisturiser make my face greasy or clog my pores?
Not at all. Because tallow mimics your skin's natural sebum, it sinks deep into the skin rather than sitting on top. The key is to use a very small amount, so a pea-sized drop is enough for your entire face. Once warmed between your fingertips and massaged in, it leaves a soft, fresh finish rather than a greasy layer.
What are the six ingredients in your moisturiser?
We believe in absolute transparency. Our formula contains only six pure, natural ingredients, starting with our star ingredient, organic grass-fed beef tallow. The remaining five are chosen strictly for their gentle, skin-loving properties to create the perfect lightweight texture. These are coconut oil, raw honey, olive oil, vitamin E and rosemary.
Does the moisturiser smell like beef?
No. Through a careful rendering and purifying process, the natural scent of the tallow is completely neutralised. Our final product has a clean, subtle and completely natural aroma, with absolutely no synthetic fragrances or chemical masking agents added.
Can I use this moisturiser under makeup during the day?
We recommend using this moisturiser as an overnight treatment rather than under makeup. Because our formula is incredibly rich, concentrated and entirely waterless, it performs best while you sleep, allowing the nutrients to work alongside your skin's natural nightly repair cycle. You will wake up with skin that feels fresh, soft and balanced.
Where do you source your tallow?
Our tallow is proudly sourced from a single, certified organic and regenerative farm in Oxfordshire. We partner directly with them because we are deeply committed to supporting British organic farmers and traditional agriculture, ensuring the highest quality ingredients while investing back into local craftsmanship.
How should I store my moisturiser?
Because our moisturiser contains no water, synthetics or chemical preservatives, it is highly stable. To keep it fresh, simply store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, where it will naturally maintain its smooth, lightweight texture.
Are your products suitable for vegetarians or vegans?
No, our tallow skincare range is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. The core ingredient across this range is premium, organic beef tallow (animal fat), which we source from regenerative British farms.
What should I do if I have sensitive skin or allergies?
Pasture was born out of a personal struggle with severe skin sensitivity, and we actually created this product to suit all skin types. By removing the common triggers found in mainstream skincare, such as chemical emulsifiers, synthetic fillers and artificial perfumes, we have created a balm that is incredibly gentle and supportive for all skin types, ages and genders. It has truly helped my own skin, and we hope it does the same for yours.
However, because everyone's skin is unique, we recommend carefully reviewing our full ingredient list (including our natural oils, raw honey and botanicals) before purchasing. If you have sensitive skin or known allergies, please consult a medical professional first, and always carry out a patch test 24 hours before using the product for the first time.
Can I use your products if I am pregnant or have a medical condition?
While our ingredients are completely natural and free from synthetic chemicals, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified doctor or medical professional before incorporating new skincare products into your routine, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have known allergies, or are managing any underlying health or skin conditions.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Every jar is handmade in small batches in Oxfordshire, so we prepare your order within 1 to 3 business days. Once it is on its way, UK orders usually arrive within 2 to 4 working days on a tracked service.
Is shipping free?
Yes, UK delivery is free on all orders over £30. For orders under £30 a small flat rate is shown at checkout. We also ship internationally, with costs calculated at checkout.
