Not sure which one?
Minimalist or Fancy Rose?
Minimalist is the simplest choice: unscented, three ingredients, for face and body. Fancy Rose starts from the same nourishing tallow base and adds plant ingredients such as bakuchiol and rosehip, with a light floral scent. It is a face cream, so the ingredient list is longer. Choose Minimalist for simplicity, or Fancy Rose when you want a little more from your face routine.

Questions we get asked
Why did you create Tallow Minimalist Butter?
I created Tallow Minimalist Butter for people who have tried one gentle cream after another, yet their skin still seems to prefer simplicity. As a skincare formulator and the founder of Nana Latta, I wanted to make something I could reach for when I didn’t want another complicated formula — just a beautifully made, concentrated butter with nothing unnecessary added.
Three carefully chosen ingredients. No fragrance. No essential oils. No water. Just simple skincare, made intentionally.
Why does Tallow Minimalist Butter have only three ingredients?
Tallow Minimalist Butter combines grass-fed tallow, jojoba oil and natural vitamin E. Tallow provides rich nourishment, jojoba gives the butter a smoother, lighter feel, and vitamin E helps protect the oils from oxidation.
I didn’t want to make skincare complicated for the sake of making it sophisticated. I wanted to see how much you could do with very little — when every ingredient is carefully chosen.
What exactly is Tallow Minimalist Butter?
It is made with just three ingredients and whipped by hand in small batches in Belgium. Because it contains no water, it is highly concentrated: you only need a small amount to nourish the skin.
How is Tallow Minimalist Butter different from a mass-produced moisturiser?
We chose a different route.
Tallow Minimalist Butter contains no water and only three carefully selected ingredients. It is concentrated, made in small batches and whipped by hand in Belgium.
Simple does not mean basic. It means there is nowhere for an unnecessary ingredient to hide.
Is Tallow Minimalist Butter suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
There is no added fragrance and no essential oil. The formula contains just three carefully selected ingredients, making it a straightforward choice when you want to reduce what you put on your skin.
It is also assessed for use on babies.
Will Tallow Minimalist Butter clog my pores?
Jojoba gives the butter a smooth, lighter feel, while tallow provides rich nourishment without requiring a long ingredient list. This makes it a lovely option if you want a nourishing butter but are concerned about heavy skincare.
If you have oily, combination or blemish-prone skin, start with a very small amount. The butter is concentrated, so a little really is enough.
What does Tallow Minimalist Butter feel like on the skin?
Take a very small amount, warm it between your fingertips and press or massage it into the skin. It melts quickly and leaves the skin feeling nourished without needing a thick layer.
Twenty seconds later, there is nothing to feel except skin that has stopped being thirsty.
Is Tallow Minimalist Butter assessed for use on babies?
Its formulation contains no fragrance or essential oils and is deliberately kept very simple.
Because babies’ skin deserves the same thoughtful approach as adult skin, we recommend using only a small amount and applying it to clean skin.
Will my skin smell like tallow?
We use carefully rendered tallow and do not add fragrance or essential oils to mask it. The result is a very neutral, understated butter that lets your skin — rather than perfume — be the focus.
Why doesn’t Tallow Minimalist Butter contain preservatives?
Preservatives are primarily needed to control microbial growth in products where water is present. By creating a completely waterless butter, we can formulate differently from a conventional water-based cream.
Natural vitamin E is included to help protect the oils from oxidation. It is not being used as a conventional preservative.
Where does the tallow come from?
Rather than creating a new raw material, tallow gives us the opportunity to make use of a valuable existing by-product. Our Tallow Minimalist Butter is then formulated, whipped and finished by hand in Belgium.
Is the tallow Halal certified?
This is part of our commitment to being transparent about the raw materials that go into Nana Latta products.
Where is Tallow Minimalist Butter made?
From formulation to whipping and filling, we keep production deliberately small and hands-on. This allows us to pay close attention to the texture and quality of every batch.
