Back to Basics: The Earth Herd Harvest Story

Welcome to Earth Herd Harvest — a small, family-run skincare brand born in the heart of the Sutherland Shire, Sydney, Australia.

We're Holly and Peter, two everyday people who decided to take a closer look at what we were putting on our skin — and didn't like what we found. Chemicals, microplastics, synthetic fillers. Products that promised results but came at a cost to our health and the planet.

So we did something about it.

Where It All Began

Our journey started simply: one product at a time, we began swapping out the synthetic for the natural. When it came to skincare, we kept coming back to one extraordinary ingredient — 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef tallow.

It might sound unconventional. But tallow has been used for centuries, and for good reason. Its fatty acid profile is remarkably similar to the natural oils in human skin, making it one of the most biocompatible moisturisers nature has to offer. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, it nourishes deeply, absorbs easily, and leaves no greasy residue — just genuinely healthy skin.

Earth Herd Harvest was born right here in the Sutherland Shire — handcrafted in small batches, with care, intention, and a deep respect for what goes into every jar.

Our Ingredient Philosophy

Every ingredient we use is chosen with purpose. Our tallow is sourced from 100% grass-fed, grass-finished cattle — no grain finishing, no shortcuts. We complement it with locally sourced, skin-safe ingredients including local beeswax from Australian beekeepers, and non-nano zinc oxide for our mineral sun protection.

We believe in:

• Transparency — simple ingredient lists you can actually read
• Sustainability — tallow is a zero-waste byproduct of the meat industry, biodegradable and minimally processed
• Purity — no synthetic fragrances, no microplastics, no nasties

We're proud to be Certified Australian Made — every product is made right here at home, to Australian standards.

Handcrafted for Every Skin, Every Stage

Our range is designed for the whole family:

• Tallow Balm — our hero everyday moisturiser, pure and simple
• Rose Petal Powder Tallow Balm — a delicate, skin-loving twist on the classic
• Tallow Face Primer — a nourishing base that preps skin naturally
• Mineral Zinc Sunscreen — reef-safe, non-nano zinc protection
• Lip Balm with Tallow & Local Beeswax — simple, nourishing, and genuinely effective
• Baby Tallow Barrier Cream with Zinc — gentle protection for the most sensitive skin
• Baby Tallow Body Balm — soft, pure nourishment for little ones

Every product is made in small batches to ensure quality and freshness. Not sure where to start? Our Begin Anywhere Bundle and Everyday Essentials Bundle are a great introduction to the range.

Rooted in the Sutherland Shire

We're proud to call the Sutherland Shire home. It's a place that values community, the outdoors, and a slower, more intentional way of living — values that are woven into everything we make. When you choose Earth Herd Harvest, you're supporting a small local business with a big belief: that what's good for your skin should also be good for the earth.
