From Farm to Face: The Family Story Behind Meadow & Moo

Tallow Skincare for the Whole Family — and the Heart Behind Meadow & Moo


There’s something deeply comforting about going back to basics.

When life gets busy, when our skin feels tired, and when our little ones’ cheeks turn rosy and dry from farm wind or winter air — it’s often the simplest ingredients that bring the most comfort and care.


That’s where tallow skincare comes in. It’s not new or trendy — it’s timeless. Our great-grandmothers used it, and for good reason. Pure, wholesome, and rich in skin-loving nutrients, tallow has quietly stood the test of time.


At Meadow & Moo, we’ve brought this beautiful old-fashioned ingredient back to life — with a modern, dreamy twist.



What Makes Tallow So Special?


Tallow is gently rendered beef fat — and before you say “wait, what?” — hear us out! When it’s sourced and prepared with care, it becomes a nourishing skincare treasure.


Tallow is incredibly close to the natural oils in our own skin, which means it melts right in — deeply hydrating without clogging pores. It’s packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with fatty acids that soothe, repair, and protect the skin barrier.


It’s ideal for:

🌼 Dry, cracked skin

🐮 Sensitive or eczema-prone skin

👶 Baby bottoms and dry cheeks

👩👧👧 Mums needing a little self-care

🧔♂️ Dads after shaving or a day in the elements


It’s gentle enough for newborns, yet rich enough for hardworking hands. That’s the beauty of it — one balm for the whole family.



The Story Behind Meadow & Moo


Hi, I’m Stephanie, the heart behind Meadow & Moo.

I’m a stay-at-home mum to three little girls, and we live on a dairy farm where life is full of muddy gumboots, baby calves, and sunsets over the paddocks.


When my girls’ skin became dry and irritated from the seasons and farm life, I wanted something pure, natural, and safe — something I could trust on their little faces as well as my own.


I began experimenting in our farmhouse kitchen, using simple, wholesome ingredients like tallow, manuka oil, and calendula. What started as a mum’s solution soon became a family ritual — and then, a little dream turned business.


Meadow & Moo was born from that — a blend of farm life, motherhood, and a love for creating something meaningful and natural for others.



A Balm for Every Season


From our Manuka Tallow Balm that soothes and heals, to our Black Raspberry & Vanilla Whipped Balm that smells good enough to eat — every jar is hand-crafted in small batches, poured with care, and made to nurture skin the way nature intended.


It’s about slowing down, reconnecting to the earth, and choosing simple, honest skincare that truly works.



More Than Skincare — It’s a Family Story


Every jar of Meadow & Moo carries a little piece of our homestead — the calves we raise, the daisies that dot the paddocks, and the love that goes into everything we make.


We’re proud to be a small family business, creating natural, nourishing products for families just like ours.

Because when you care for your skin with ingredients that come from the land, it’s not just skincare — it’s farm-to-face nourishment. 🌼



From our family to yours — thank you for supporting Meadow & Moo.

Here’s to soft skin, simple living, and finding beauty in the meadows. 🐮✨
