This serum sits in the routine between toning and moisturising, designed to work with the tallow moisturiser rather than compete with it. The plant-based oils in it are chosen to complement and penetrate before you seal everything in. It’s a layering approach that makes sense when you think about what your skin actually needs, rather than what a 12-step regime tells you to buy. I put it on Life Favourites for anyone who wants to understand a more considered way to use active ingredients without reaching for synthetics.

Mineral SPF is something I’ve paid more attention to since learning more about the chemical filters used in most conventional sunscreens and their potential effect on hormone health. This one uses zinc oxide as its active ingredient – a physical barrier rather than a chemical one – formulated in the same tallow and botanical base as the rest of the Cow Face range. SPF 25+, no oxybenzone, no synthetic fragrance. For anyone who spends time outdoors and wants protection without the chemical compromise, it’s a good one to have in the rotation.

I’m drawn to products that strip things back to what actually works. This moisturiser is made from organic, grass-fed Pembrokeshire tallow with cold-pressed castor oil, honey and a handful of essential oils. No more, no less. Tallow is structurally close to our skin’s own sebum – it’s one of the reasons it absorbs so naturally. Since reducing the amount of synthetic ingredients in my skincare, this is the kind of thing I look for: a short ingredient list I can actually read, made by people who care where it comes from.

So many people ask me about what comes between cleansing and moisturising and whether it actually matters. The thinking behind this toner is sound – rose water and glycerine to balance pH and calm skin, with clove essential oil for its antimicrobial properties. The other thing I like about it: it’s designed to improve how well everything applied afterwards absorbs. Simple ingredients, doing exactly what they say. Worth knowing about if you’re trying to keep your routine clean.

I find cleansing oils genuinely interesting because the principle behind them makes sense – using oil to draw out oil, without stripping the skin’s barrier in the process. This one is made with cold-pressed EVOO and hexane-free castor oil, presented in a glass bottle. No synthetics, no fragrance, no unnecessary additions. For anyone trying to simplify their routine and move away from conventional cleansers loaded with surfactants and preservatives, this is the kind of first step worth looking at.
