Ingredients You Can Trust
We believe you deserve to know exactly what you're putting on your skin. Every ingredient is carefully selected for its purity, effectiveness, and compatibility with your body's natural biology.
Our Ingredient Philosophy
At Amber Tallow, we follow one simple rule: if our great-grandmothers wouldn't recognize it, we don't use it. This means no synthetic chemicals, no unpronounceable additives, and no compromises.
We work with nature, not against it. Every ingredient is chosen because it works synergistically with your skin's natural processes. The result? Products that don't just sit on the surface—they truly nourish from within.
Transparency isn't just a buzzword for us. We list every ingredient on our products and explain exactly why it's there. No hidden fillers, no "fragrance" catch-alls, no mystery ingredients.
