Australian natural skincare brand, TUTTOFARE is disrupting the market with an ancient but proven ingredient: Australian grass fed and grass finished tallow, sourced from local producers using sustainable farming practices.

TUTTOFARE’s hero products, the Holy Grail Tallow Balm and Roman Blue Tallow Balm are gentle, non-toxic alternatives to regular moisturiser.

The business was started by husband and wife team, Clive Wright and Laura Daquino from humble beginnings in Melbourne in 2022. TUTTOFARE has since amassed more than 1,000 glowing reviews online, and fast gaining a cult following.

According to September data from Exploding Topics, a software tool that finds fast-growing topics before they go mainstream, tallow-based skincare has been called out as one to watch, experiencing 2,150% search growth over the last five years in the US alone. By definition, this means tallow-based skincare is an ‘exploding’ trend, coming in at number 70 on its list of 100 exploding topics to watch.

Tallow skincare even surpasses pimple patches (1,900%) and bakuchiol skincare (963%), among other popular skincare trends, as well as lab-grown diamonds (413%).

Unlike many regular moisturisers, TUTTOFARE Tallow Balm doesn’t just moisturise and hydrate skin, but helps heal dry skin, reduce redness and inflammation, while smoothing out fine lines.

“We let the results speak for themselves – we know that tallow’s specific fatty acid composition can work wonders for the skin, especially when formulated with other supportive ingredients,” TUTTOFARE co-founder, Laura Daquino said.

“As we only use gentle ingredients without any harsh chemicals, our Tallow Balm is sensitive-skin friendly and suitable for all skin types. It mimics the oil in your skin to rebalance natural oil production, which is why it has been a gamechanger for customers across skin types.

“Due to the density of fatty acids when it’s formulated as a balm, beef tallow goes a long way in helping to hydrate, heal and protect the skin. Tallow is effective at helping repair skin barrier function because when carefully formulated, tallow retains its richness in the most beneficial kind of fatty acids to ‘cocoon’ the skin.”

What makes TUTTOFARE Tallow Balm different from regular tallow? TUTTOFARE Tallow Balm is professionally formulated as a balanced skincare product with additional ingredients including jojoba oil and olive squalane, making it suitable across skin types, including acne-prone skin.

“Some people think all tallow skincare is homemade, which is not true in our case. We’re unique in the Australian market in that our products are professionally formulated right here to uphold the highest standards for sourcing, manufacturing and efficacy. We have so many naturopaths and health professionals recommending our products for this reason,” Daquino said.
