Why we chose Nana Latta for PraveBio.cz
Nana Latta is a Belgian natural skincare brand specialising in beef tallow formulations and shaped by its founder’s Chechen heritage. Its name means Mother Earth in Chechen, reflecting the brand’s philosophy: concise formulations, respect for ingredient provenance and skincare inspired by the traditional use of beef tallow.
The brand was founded by Laura Majieva, a graduate of Formula Botanica, the internationally recognised school of organic cosmetic formulation. Nana Latta therefore approaches tallow as more than a passing skincare trend. It combines grass-fed beef tallow with natural oils, waxes, botanical extracts and delicate aromatic notes, creating formulas with a clear purpose, an elegant texture and a beautifully refined sensorial experience.
We selected Nana Latta because it brings a distinctive point of view to the growing category of beef tallow skincare: handcrafted production in Belgium, small-batch manufacturing, considered packaging, natural formulations, subtle scents and a commitment to Halal standards. It is made for customers seeking uncomplicated natural skincare without unnecessary fillers, while still expecting thoughtful formulation, credible expertise and meticulous craftsmanship.
Beef Tallow Body Butter for Dry Skin – Lavender & Frankincense
Nana Latta Tallow Essential Body Butter is a concentrated waterless body butter for dry, rough or tight-feeling skin. It contains grass-fed beef tallow, organic olive oil, essential oils of lavender and frankincense, and natural vitamin E.
- Who it is for: adults with dry body skin and areas that are not sufficiently nourished by a lightweight body lotion.
- Where to use: hands, elbows, shins, heels and other dry areas.
- How it works: softens and nourishes the skin, leaving a fine lipid layer that helps reduce moisture loss and maintain the comfort of the skin barrier.
- How to use: warm a small amount between your palms and apply to clean, slightly damp skin.
Lavender brings a clean herbal note, while frankincense adds warm, resinous depth. The fragrance is natural yet distinct, making this version best suited to customers looking for aromatic evening body care rather than an unscented product.
The texture is richer than a body lotion, and a little goes a long way. Applying it to damp skin improves spreadability and helps prevent an overly greasy feel.

Suitable for
- dry and rough body skin
- hands, elbows, shins, heels and other hard-working areas
- after-shower or post-bath care
- customers looking for a fragranced alternative to an unscented tallow balm
Prave Bio recommends: an evening body-care ritual
- Redmond Bath Salt™ Plus – mineral bath salts to use before applying the body butter to slightly damp skin.
- The Green Lab Co. Lavender & Jasmine Shower Foam – fragranced cleansing care that complements the butter’s lavender profile.
- Organic Essence Lavender Solid Deodorant – a natural way to continue the same aromatic theme after showering.
What to know before you buy
- This is primarily a body-care product. The manufacturer presents it as a body butter; use it on the face only on small areas and in a minimal amount.
- It is not fragrance-free. It contains essential oils and the naturally occurring fragrance compounds linalool and limonene.
- Sensitive skin requires a patch test. A short ingredients list does not in itself guarantee that the skin will tolerate essential oils.
- The texture changes with temperature. The butter softens in warmth and firms in cooler conditions; this is not a product fault.
Key benefits of the Lavender & Frankincense Body Butter
- Grass-fed beef tallow – forms the rich emollient base that softens and nourishes dry skin. The manufacturer sources it as an animal-derived by-product that would otherwise go unused.
- Concentrated waterless texture – the formula contains no water phase, so considerably less is needed than with a conventional body lotion.
- Organic olive oil – complements the lipid base, softens the texture and helps the butter glide across the skin.
- Lavender and frankincense – create a herbal, resinous fragrance particularly well suited to an evening routine.
- Natural vitamin E – acts as an antioxidant within the oil phase and helps protect the oils from oxidation when the product is stored correctly.
- No synthetic fragrance or conventional preservatives – the scent comes from essential oils; the product is not, however, free from fragrance components.
- 100 ml with economical application – only a small amount, warmed between the palms, is needed for each use.
Lavender & Frankincense is intended primarily for body care. It spreads best in a thin layer over clean, slightly damp skin.
Why choose Nana Latta
Nana Latta is an independent Belgian tallow skincare brand founded by Laura Majieva. In her native Chechen language, the name means Mother Earth and reflects a respect for natural resources, traditional ingredients and making full use of what nature provides. The brand grew from Laura’s search for gentler care for her own sensitive skin and that of her son.
Laura combined family knowledge and her Chechen heritage with modern training in natural skincare. She holds a Diploma in Organic Skincare Formulation from Formula Botanica and is a certified health coach. Her formulas are therefore informed not only by the renewed interest in traditional beef tallow, but also by professional knowledge of formulation, cosmetic ingredients and the needs of the skin.
Nana Latta products are handcrafted in Belgium in small batches. Their foundation is grass-fed Belgian beef tallow, sourced through a family supplier with more than 200 years of experience in traditional processing. This upcycled by-product of the food chain is repurposed as a functional base for waterless skincare.
Another defining feature of the brand is its transparency around ingredient origin and quality. Nana Latta publishes a laboratory Certificate of Analysis for the tallow it uses, including information on purity and fatty-acid profile. The origin and processing of the tallow also meet Halal requirements. One of the brand’s products, Tallow Butter Family Daisy, was shortlisted for the European Natural Beauty Awards 2025.

Frequently asked questions
What is a beef tallow body butter, and how does it differ from a body lotion?
It is a waterless blend of fats and oils. Unlike a body lotion, it contains no water phase, has a richer texture, is used more sparingly and leaves a more noticeable lipid layer on the skin.
Who is Nana Latta Lavender & Frankincense suitable for?
Adults with dry, rough or tight-feeling body skin who want richer waterless care and enjoy a more pronounced lavender and frankincense fragrance.
Where should the body butter be applied?
Most commonly to the hands, elbows, shins, heels and other dry areas. Apply it to slightly damp skin after showering or bathing.
Can it also be used on the face?
The manufacturer presents it primarily as a body butter. On the face, try it only on small areas, in a minimal amount and after a patch test; the rich texture and essential oils may not suit every complexion.
Why should it be applied to damp skin?
A waterless butter does not add water to the skin. It spreads more easily over slightly damp skin, while the lipid layer it creates helps reduce moisture evaporation.
How much product is needed per application?
Begin with a pea-sized amount for a small dry area. Build up gradually over larger areas; using too much can leave a greasier film and may transfer onto clothing.
Is it better for morning or evening use?
It can be used at any time, but the rich texture and aromatic lavender-and-frankincense profile work particularly well as part of an evening routine after showering or bathing.
Does beef tallow clog pores?
Reactions vary, and the origin of the fat alone cannot predict how an individual complexion will respond. On the face, begin with a very small amount on a limited area, particularly if your pores clog easily.
Is the body butter suitable for acne or eczema?
It is neither a medicinal product nor a cosmetic intended to treat acne or eczema. It may only be used to moisturise dry areas; seek advice from a dermatologist for inflamed, weeping or persistently irritated skin.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The short, waterless formula may suit sensitive skin, but this version contains essential oils, linalool and limonene. Carry out a patch test before first use; for highly sensitive skin, choose the unscented version instead.
Can it be used around the eyes?
Do not apply it to the eyelids, close to the lash line or anywhere it could enter the eyes. It contains essential oils.
Is it suitable for children?
Because it contains essential oils, it is not the first choice for young children. An unscented product intended for the child’s age group is more appropriate.
Is it suitable during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
This is a cosmetic product containing essential oils. Follow the manufacturer’s directions; if you avoid essential oils during pregnancy or breastfeeding, choose the unscented version.
Does it smell of beef tallow?
The dominant notes are herbal lavender and warm, resinous frankincense. Those with a sensitive sense of smell may detect a faint trace of the natural fat base in the background.
Does it contain synthetic fragrance?
No. Its scent comes from essential oils. These naturally contain the fragrance allergens linalool and limonene, so “no synthetic fragrance” does not mean “fragrance-free” or “free from the risk of a reaction”.
Why does it contain no water?
The waterless formula creates a concentrated lipid texture and does not require the conventional preservative system used for water-based products. It is also used in smaller amounts than a standard cream or body lotion.
What do grass-fed and upcycled tallow mean?
Grass-fed describes tallow from cattle fed predominantly on grass, typically in a pasture-based system. Upcycled tallow means that the manufacturer processes animal fat as a by-product rather than allowing it to be discarded.
Is the product vegan?
No. Its base is beef tallow, an animal-derived ingredient.
Is the product Halal?
The manufacturer publishes a Halal certificate for the tallow used. When purchasing for religious reasons, we recommend checking that the document remains valid for the current batch.
Is tallow body butter sustainable?
The manufacturer uses tallow as an animal-derived by-product and works with a waterless formula. The product is not vegan, however, so any assessment of sustainability also depends on personal views regarding animal-derived ingredients.
How should it be stored, and why does the texture change?
Store in a dry, dark place away from direct sunlight. Natural fats soften in warmth and firm in cooler conditions; seasonal changes in consistency are normal and do not indicate a loss of quality.
How can water and impurities be kept out of the jar?
Use clean, dry fingers or a spatula, and close the container after use. Water introduced into the jar may shorten the usable life of the waterless formula.
Can it stain clothing?
Yes. If too much is applied, the oily layer may transfer to fabric. Apply a thin layer and allow it to settle briefly before dressing.
Can it be used on the hands, cuticles and heels?
Yes. The hands, cuticles, elbows and heels are among the most practical areas for use. It spreads best over slightly damp skin.
When is the unscented version a better choice?
For highly sensitive skin, young children, sensitivity to essential oils or whenever you do not want a noticeable fragrance on the skin.

After a morning shower, simple care often works best: something that does not slow you down or ask for several steps. Nana Latta is a Belgian natural skincare brand based on beef tallow, with an emphasis on fewer steps, clear formulas and comfortable use.
Use is straightforward: take a small amount, warm it briefly between your fingers and apply it to areas where the skin needs to feel softer and more comfortable. This makes the care easy to fit into days when you do not want to spend time in front of the mirror.
Behind Nana Latta is Laura, and the name Nana Latta means Mother Earth in her native language. The products are made in Belgium and are based on care that can be used every day without unnecessary complexity.
The formulas are based on beef tallow from grass-fed cattle, combined with selected botanical ingredients. The brand places emphasis on traceable documentation, small batches and clear information about the raw materials used.
The care follows a minimalist approach rather than short-term trends. It suits morning and evening use, at home or when travelling, for quick care without unnecessary layers.
What Nana Latta is known for:
- Tallow as the base: grass-fed beef tallow as the core ingredient in the formulas.
- Ingredient origin in Belgium: the tallow comes from a local supply chain in Belgium, with an emphasis on responsible sourcing.
- Small batches and handmade production: balms, butters and creams are made in Belgium, with oversight of every batch.
- Anhydrous formulas in butters and balms: no water phase, with an emphasis on simple composition and texture.

Care for the whole family
Who is behind Nana Latta
Behind Nana Latta is Laura. Her path into skincare came through family experience and the search for care that is clear and easy to use every day.
The brand draws on traditional work with simple ingredients, while also giving attention to safety, transparency and clear formulas. The result is a range of recipes based on tallow and botanical ingredients, without the need for a complicated routine.
Why tallow and botanical ingredients
Nana Latta products are based on grass-fed tallow – a traditional ingredient that has long been used in skin care for its simplicity and nourishing character.
In the formulas, it is combined with botanical oils and extracts. The aim is comfortable skin care with a minimalist approach: fewer products, considered ingredients.
Traceable origin also matters – the origin of the raw materials is documented through a clear supply chain and straightforward supporting documents, so it is clear what each product is based on.
Handmade in small batches in Belgium
Handmade production in small batches allows quality to be followed closely – from the raw materials to the final texture and scent.
The production keeps its artisanal character: natural ingredients are kept in their natural form, without pressure for every detail to look exactly the same.
Individual batches may therefore vary slightly in colour or texture, which is a normal feature of natural ingredients and anhydrous textures.
Documentation, certification and European standards
Traceable documents are part of the transparent approach, including a CoA certificate of analysis for grass-fed tallow and a Halal certificate for the tallow.
In Europe, cosmetics are subject to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
For the customer, this means clearly named ingredients, traceable documentation and a clear explanation of why the formulas contain specific raw materials.
Ingredient library: without embellishment
The website includes an ingredient library set up as a practical glossary: what each ingredient is and why it appears in the formulas.
The style is direct – the aim is quick orientation in tallow, oils and extracts, without marketing shortcuts or unnecessary promises.
When people search for terms such as acne or sensitive skin, it is best to stay within a safe framework: speaking about ingredients, routine, comfort and the skin barrier without oversimplifying. For health concerns or a diagnosis, medical consultation is appropriate.
Nana Latta – a return to simple care
Anhydrous formulas and restrained recipe stabilisation
Tallow butters and balms are anhydrous formulas – without a water phase, with a clear ingredient list and simple use.
Antioxidants, such as vitamin E, are used for formula stability and help protect oils from oxidation. A small amount is enough, and the texture spreads well once warmed in the palms.
The texture changes naturally, much like butter
Tallow behaves much like butter: it is firmer in the cold and softens in warmth. Its texture can therefore change naturally during the year, especially in anhydrous products.
It is recommended to keep the products in a cool place and away from direct sunlight, so they retain a pleasant texture.
Recognition in natural beauty
The product Tallow Butter Family Daisy has been shortlisted for the European Natural Beauty Awards 2025.
The blog, FAQ and ingredient library help with choosing a routine – resources where it is easy to check the ingredients and how individual products fit into everyday care.
Nana Latta is based on tallow, botanical ingredients and a transparent approach. Instead of trends, it offers artisanal, minimalist care that makes sense through its ingredients and the way it is used.
