Tallow & Charcoal Cleansing Balm effectively removes impurities and makeup without drying the skin. Formulated with 100% grass-fed beef tallow, organic castor oil, and activated charcoal, it cleanses deeply while nourishing and protecting the skin’s natural barrier. The activated charcoal detoxifies and unclogs pores, leaving the skin visibly cleaner and refreshed.

It is also packed with essential oils like Manuka, Clary Sage, and Rose Geranium that help balance sebum production, calm irritation, and promote a clear complexion.

Free from harsh chemicals, sulphates, and surfactants, this balm is ideal for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. Whether used daily or as a makeup remover, it provides a gentle, natural cleanse that nourishes and revitalises the skin.

Ancestral Cosmetics’ mission is to bring back the ancient wisdom of natural beauty, using ingredients that have been trusted for over 5,000 years. The brand emerged from founders Renata and Mihael’s realisation that many food and skincare products poses health risks— with many "natural" cosmetics containing harmful preservatives, toxic mineral oils, hormone-disrupting fragrances, and cheap fillers disguised as natural ingredients. That’s why they decided to do things differently.

They developed products with ingredients that are so natural, they could be eaten. Their core ingredient, beef tallow, is a highly effective natural fat known for its deep moisturising and skin-repairing qualities. The brand also incorporates cold-pressed olive oil, raw local honey, and pure essential oils. With every product free of fillers and unnecessary extras, Ancestral Cosmetics brings you solutions you truly need for optimal skin health and wellness.
