Tallow’s composition, which mimics that of our skin oil can help with eczema, dryness, flakiness, redness, hyperpigmentation, oiliness & acne and balancing skin.
As with any new skincare product or florals/herbs, be sure to do a patch test on the inside of your wrist to rule out sensitivities & allergies.
Store in a cool dry place.

The secret to sustainable skin health lies in ancient wisdom.
Inspired by the Quran, Hadith, & Prophetic Tradition, our Sacred Sunnah Skincare Box celebrates Sunnah ingredients like Black Seed, Raw Honey, and Qust Al Bahri along with time-tested ingredients like Beef Tallow (halal & grassfed), Natural Clays, and Raw Milk.
THE RICH BENEFITS OF SUNNAH INGREDIENTS
ORGANIC BLACK SEED OIL (in soap and butter)
Like Tallow, Black Seed helps boost collagen production making it known as an ‘anti-aging oil’
Smoothens the appearance of fine lines and brightens dull skin
Is used to help fade acne scarring and markings
helps reduce skin inflammation and redness
making it useful for eczema prone skin
RAW HONEY sourced from a local beekeeper (in soap)
Honey is a natural humectant, which means it holds & attracts moisture. In soap, this prevents the skin from drying out, and will not strip its natural oils.
Rich in antioxidants, which helps protect skin from free radicals
A gentle cleanser- cleans the skin well without stripping it
Soothing for inflamed, patchy, and aggravated skin
QUST AL BAHRI sourced from a local small business (in face mask)
Ibn al-Qayyim’s work shows how Qust Al Bahri (the milder counterpart to Qust Al Hindi) can be mixed with honey and (a small amount of) water to help
help fade dark spots
help fade discolouration
help fade scars & burn marks
Because Al Bahri is hot and dry in nature, adding honey to this face mask creates balance, especially for more dry & sensitive skin.
ORGANIC OLIVE OIL (in soap)
Balances the skin’s oil production - cleanses without stripping
Rich in vitamin E, polyphenols, and phytosterols
helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promotes skin cell regeneration.
Its anti-inflammatory properties make it great for sensitive skin
MISWAK (for teeth & gum). Research has shown how it:
Helps fight plaque and gum disease
Helps prevent any existing teeth decay from getting worse
Contains minerals such as chloride, sodium bicarbonate and potassium which are vital to oral hygiene
Helps strengthen the enamel in your teeth
The silica found in miswak can help remove stains & discolouration
Nourish your skin with our small-batch, intentionally crafted tallow skincare.
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE:
Black Seed Honey Soap - For the Face and Body
Black Seed Beef Tallow Butter 1oz
Detox Face Mask with Natural Clays & Qust Al Bahri
100% Natural Miswak
“Smile it's Sunnah” handmade sticker
Pamphlets on the benefits of sunnah ingredients, where it is found in the Quran & Hadith, and How to Use

Check our what our customers are saying about Ode to Tallow
“The thing I love the most is how my skin has healed using these products —especially the soaps. I used to get super dry and flaky hands after washing (the skin was peeling off). But within 2 weeks of using this soap my hands completely healed and have been better ever since.”
-Stephanie
My 7month old daughter had severe eczema and we used the Ode to Tallow butter as a moisturizer 2-3 times a day. It was very gentle on her skin and we noticed her eczema reduced since using the cream. The cream itself is very smooth and blends into the skin well!
-Arshia
“MashaAllah, since you showed up on my feed earlier this summer, I have been following you and decided to try the various tallow soaps and tallow butters and I am hooked. No more store bought body wash for me! All of the soaps are fantastic on your body and face, especially if you have sensitive skin!

Your Questions, Answered
-
Beef tallow is a natural fat derived from grass-fed cows that is very similar to human sebum. It is a great natural moisturizer that helps keep different skin types in balance.
-
They’re 100% halal. We only use ethical, clean, and hormone-free methods to make our tallow skincare products. We get our tallow from local family-owned farms. This makes sure that the production is clean, follows the rules, and doesn't use hormones.
The rest of our oils are organic and botanicals are either foraged, ethically sourced, or home grown
-
Our formulations are made with minimal, simple ingredients traditionally used for gentle care. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor or research the month’s botanical prior to using it.
If your skin is particularly sensitive or reactive, we recommend sticking with essential-oil free products like or All Natural Butter or Unscented Homesteaders Soap
-
No. High-quality tallow cream absorbs swiftly into the skin instead of sitting on top of it like mineral oils do. This makes the skin feel nourished instead of greasy.
We recommend applying a pea-sized amount to the face to allow for full absorption
