Finally: Tallow Skincare Made in Belgium
For years, Belgian lovers of natural skincare had to order tallow products from the United States, the United Kingdom, or the Netherlands. High shipping costs, long delivery times, and uncertainty about quality made it a challenge to access this powerful, natural skincare. But those days are over.
Nana Latta is the first Belgian brand to produce authentic, handmade tallow skincare — and we are proud to bring this age-old tradition to Belgium.
Why Was There No Belgian Tallow Brand?
Tallow skincare has become enormously popular in recent years, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom. People are rediscovering the power of this traditional ingredient that our ancestors used for centuries. But in Belgium and the rest of Europe, it remained a niche product that was hard to find.
The reasons were varied:
- Lack of awareness: Many people did not know tallow as a skincare ingredient
- Modern trends: The focus had shifted to plant-based oils and synthetic ingredients
- Production expertise: Artisan processing of tallow requires specific knowledge and experience
- Quality sources: Access to high-quality, grass-fed tallow was limited
This created a gap in the market — Belgian consumers who wanted to experience the benefits of tallow had no local option.
How Nana Latta Changed That
My name is Laura, and I am the founder of Nana Latta — which means "Mother Earth" in my native Chechen language. My journey toward creating Belgium's first tallow brand began with a personal search for safe, natural skincare for my family.
As a mother, certified Health Advisor specialising in holistic medicine, and Organic Skincare Formulator, I wanted products free of harmful chemicals — packed with the benefits of nature. When I discovered tallow, I was fascinated by both the scientific foundation and the centuries-old tradition behind it.
But there was one problem: I could not find quality tallow products in Belgium. Everything had to be imported, which was expensive and impractical. So I decided to make it myself.
200 Years of Tradition Meets Belgian Quality
What truly makes Nana Latta unique is our collaboration with a family business that has mastered the traditional art of tallow rendering for over 200 years. This partnership guarantees that our ingredients are:
- Ethically produced: From grass-fed cattle that are treated with respect
- Sustainable: We use a by-product that would otherwise be wasted
- Of the highest quality: Age-old techniques ensure pure, nutrient-rich tallow
- Locally available: Shorter supply chains mean fresher products
This combination of ancestral wisdom and modern European quality standards makes our products exceptionally effective and trustworthy.

From Chechnya to Belgium: A Story of Care
My roots lie in the Chechen Republic, where natural remedies and traditional skincare are part of our culture. I brought this ancestral knowledge to Belgium, where I combine it with modern scientific insights and European quality standards.
Nana Latta is more than a brand — it is a bridge between cultures, between old and new, between nature and science. Every product we make carries this rich heritage within it.
Handmade with Love and Intention
Every Nana Latta product is handmade in small batches using the gentle cold process method. This traditional technique preserves the vitality of each ingredient and ensures that all natural vitamins and fatty acids remain intact.
We believe in quality over quantity. Every jar, every soap, every balm is made with care and attention — as if it were for my own family. Because that is exactly how I think about it: you are part of the Nana Latta family.
More Than Just Tallow
Although tallow is the star of our formulas, we combine it with powerful botanical ingredients:
- Bakuchiol: A natural retinol alternative in our Fancy Rose butter
- Vitamin C from orange peel: For radiant skin in our Sweet Orange butter
- Chamomile and raspberry: Soothing and gentle in our Family Daisy butter
- Zinc oxide: Natural skin protection in our Sun Balm
- Jojoba oil: Perfectly balanced in our Minimalist Butter
Each formula is carefully developed to address specific skin needs, while the nourishing power of tallow remains central.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is tallow skincare and why is it Belgian?
Tallow skincare uses rendered beef fat as its primary ingredient. Nana Latta is the first Belgian brand to produce it locally, eliminating the need to import from the US or UK and ensuring fresh, high-quality products under European cosmetic regulations.
Is tallow in skincare safe and ethical?
Yes. Nana Latta sources tallow exclusively from grass-fed cattle processed by a family business with over 200 years of experience. Tallow is a by-product that would otherwise go to waste, making it a sustainable and ethical choice.
Why choose a Belgian tallow brand over imported alternatives?
A Belgian brand means no import costs, faster delivery, strict EU cosmetic compliance, and customer service in Dutch and French. Products are made in small, fresh batches rather than sitting in transit for weeks.
Which Nana Latta product should I start with?
For most skin types, the Minimalist Butter (tallow + jojoba) is the ideal starting point. Sensitive or mature skin benefits most from the Fancy Rose butter with bakuchiol. For daytime use, the Sun Balm with zinc oxide provides gentle natural protection.
Is Nana Latta suitable for the whole family?
Yes. Our Family Daisy butter is specifically formulated with chamomile and raspberry for gentle, fragrance-free care suitable for all ages, including babies. All products are free from synthetic fragrances, parabens, and harsh chemicals.
