Tallow Body Butter with Essential Oils Refresh deep regeneration • refreshing toning • velvety softness • energetic fragrance • protective film

Tallow body butter is a water-free balm based on beef tallow and oils. It doesn't work like a classic cream with a water phase; its main function is to moisturise, soften the skin, and create a comfortable protective film on the surface.

At Nana Latta Refresh, the base consists of pasture-raised beef tallow, rice starch, jojoba oil, and essential oils of peppermint, lemongrass, and sweet orange.

Refresh has a fresh minty-citrus profile and contains rice starch, which softens the density of the fat formulation. The resulting feel is more matte and less shiny than purely fat-based balms.

It's suited to daily body care, after a shower, after sports, or for hands and feet, where you'll appreciate the fresher scent and slightly cooling sensation.

It best suits normal to dry body skin that needs moisturising, softening, and a protective feel after washing. It's also appropriate for dry elbows, hands, knees, calves, or feet.

For very sensitive skin, it's advisable to start with a tolerance test, as the Refresh variant contains essential oils.

The base is simple and water-free, but essential oils may cause irritation on reactive skin. For sensitive skin, small children, or during periods of acute irritation, a fragrance-free variant without essences is often more suitable.

Before first use, apply a small amount to the inner forearm and observe the skin's reaction.

Primarily, it's a body butter. It can be tried on the face only in a very small amount and preferably on dry, well-tolerated skin.

For oily, acne-prone, or very sensitive skin, it's wiser to choose a product specifically designed for the face and without strong essential oils.

The skin's reaction is individual and depends on the amount, application area, and skin type. For body skin, a thin layer and application on damp skin are crucial.

If prone to acne on the back, chest, or shoulders, start locally and monitor tolerance. The product is not intended for acne care or prevention.

Water-free butter itself doesn't provide a water phase. A damp base after a shower, bath, or hydrolate facilitates spreading and helps lock in a feeling of suppleness.

On completely dry skin, it can be denser, harder to dose, and may leave a greasier film.

Start with a pea-sized amount for larger areas of the body. First, warm the butter between your palms before spreading it.

For anhydrous balms, a smaller dose is often more practical: it absorbs better, shines less, and doesn't burden clothing.

It's suited to after a shower, bath, exercise, or in the morning when the fresh scent of mint, lemongrass, and sweet orange stands out. It's also well-suited after exfoliation when the skin is smoother and ready for moisturising.

It can also be used in the evening, though for those with sensitive skin, the stronger mint profile may be more invigorating.

After shaving, the skin may be more sensitive, so we recommend waiting until the usual redness from mechanical irritation calms down. Then apply a very thin layer to damp skin.

Due to the essential oils, it's not suitable to apply the product to freshly irritated, injured, or stinging areas.

After a shower, the product can serve as a moisturising body care if the skin is in good condition. It is not intended for sunburn care or as a substitute for a product with a protective factor.

Do not apply it to overheated, sunburned, or painful skin.

It does not contain synthetic fragrance. The scent comes from essential oils of peppermint, lemongrass, and sweet orange.

The composition also lists natural allergenic components of essential oils, such as Limonene, Citral, Geraniol, Linalool, and Citronellol.

These are natural components of essential oils, which must be declared in cosmetics for customer awareness. It does not mean it is a synthetic fragrance.

For sensitive skin or known allergies to fragrance components, it is advisable to test the product on a small area first.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is usually advisable to handle products with essential oils carefully. Refresh contains peppermint, lemongrass, and sweet orange.

If uncertain, sensitive to scents, or experiencing health issues, opt for an unscented variant or consult a doctor.

Due to the content of essential oils, it is not an ideal choice for young children. For children's skin, simple unscented care without strong fragrance components is safer.

For older kids, use only a small amount and only if well tolerated.

No. The base is made from beef tallow, an animal-derived material. The product is suitable for customers who accept cosmetics using by-products from the food chain.

It is not suitable for vegans or customers who avoid animal ingredients in cosmetics.

Grass-fed refers to tallow sourced from pasture-raised cattle. In the context of cosmetics, it mainly provides information about the origin of the raw material.

This designation itself is not a therapeutic or health claim; for the customer, traceable composition and processing method are most important.

The brand cites a local Belgian source for better traceability, a shorter supply chain, and control over the raw material. For small batches, the origin of the raw material is important for the consistency of the formulation.

It is also a way to utilise animal material that might otherwise not be fully used in cosmetics.

Sustainability depends on the origin of the raw material, production, packaging, and consumption. For tallow, it involves using a by-product of animal origin, and for anhydrous cosmetics, it also involves a concentrated formulation without an unnecessary water phase.

However, it cannot be claimed that every tallow product is automatically ecological. For Nana Latta, the local origin of the tallow, small batches, and an anhydrous formulation are significant.

Rice starch adjusts the texture and helps reduce the greasy shine, which can be more pronounced in purely fatty balms. It makes the finish drier and more velvety.

It is a practical ingredient for customers who want nourishing body butter but do not want the feeling of a heavy greasy layer.

Jojoba oil is a liquid plant wax that improves spreadability and softens the final feel on the skin. In the formulation, it helps balance the heaviness of beef tallow.

This allows the butter to be applied more evenly after warming in the palms.

The scent is fresh and mint-citrus. Peppermint provides a cooling impression, lemongrass adds a green citrus tone, and sweet orange rounds out the fragrance.

It is not a perfumed product with a synthetic scent; the aroma comes from essential oils and may vary slightly between batches.

Yes. Tallow and oils naturally react to temperature. In the cold, the butter may be firmer, in the heat, softer or partially melted.

This change usually does not mean degradation. Once stored in the cold, the product will solidify again, although the texture may be slightly less whipped.

Store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. After use, close the lid tightly and do not touch the jar with wet hands.

To maintain quality for longer, it is advisable to scoop the butter with clean fingers or a spatula.

Follow the symbol and information on the packaging of the specific batch. For anhydrous balms, clean scooping and storage away from heat are important.

A change in scent, colour, or a suspicious odour is a reason to discontinue use.

In excessive amounts, the fatty balm may leave marks on textiles. Therefore, it is advisable to apply it in a thin layer and allow it to settle for a while before dressing.

Rice starch helps to mattify the finish but does not replace correct dosing.

Yes. The scrub first smooths the skin surface mechanically, and after rinsing, a small amount of butter can be applied to damp skin. This enhances the feeling of smoothness and comfort.

Do not use the scrub on irritated or injured skin.

Yes, hands, feet, heels, and elbows are practical areas for use. At night, a slightly richer layer can be applied, while during the day, a smaller amount is preferable.

For feet, wait before walking until the product has settled to avoid a slippery surface.

Yes, if well tolerated, it can be used daily. The key is dosing: the waterless butter is concentrated, and significantly less is needed compared to regular body lotion.

If a heavy film is felt, reduce the amount or apply only to drier areas.

Wash off the product with a gentle cleansing agent and discontinue further application. Stinging may be related to sensitivity to essential oils, mechanically irritated skin, or use on an unsuitable area.

If problems persist, or in case of an allergic reaction or skin diagnosis, consulting a doctor is advisable.
