Natural-feeling skincare and beauty essentials, rooted in ancestral wisdom.
Ancestral Cosmetics’ mission is to bring back the ancient wisdom of natural beauty, using ingredients that have been recognised in traditional practices for over 5,000 years. The brand emerged from founders Renata and Mihael’s realisation that many food and skincare products may contain ingredients some people choose to avoid, with many "natural" cosmetics featuring preservatives, mineral oils, synthetic fragrances and fillers. That’s why they decided to do things differently.
Ancestral Cosmetics developed products with ingredients that are so natural, they could be eaten; containing no fillers or unnecessary extras. Their core ingredient, beef tallow, is a traditional natural fat valued for its rich, moisturising texture. The brand also incorporates cold-pressed olive oil, local raw honey and pure essential oils.
From moisturising balms to suncare products, Ancestral Cosmetics offers a considered range for everyday skin care and rituals. As a UK stockist of Ancestral Cosmetics, browse the selection at Healf.

For the Original Tallow & Honey Balm, melt a small amount into clean skin wherever it feels dry. A little goes a long way as the balm is highly concentrated and free from fillers. For the cleansing balm, massage into dry skin for 30 to 60 seconds, then wipe away with a warm, damp cloth, ideally in the evening. Healf stocks the full Ancestral Cosmetics range.
