Made New Naturals ā Simple. Clean. Intentional.
Ā General Questions
What is Made New Naturals?
Made New Naturals is a small-batch skincare brand rooted in faith and built on transparency. We handcraft tallow-based products using minimal, nourishing ingredientsāno fillers, no synthetics, no shortcuts.
What makes your products different?
We donāt outsource rendering or buy pre-processed tallow. We render our own suet from locally sourced Michigan cattle, formulate intentionally, and share our process openly on social media. What you see is what you getāreal, clean skincare.
šæ Ingredients & Product Use
Why do you use tallow?
Tallow is one of the most skin-compatible ingredients available. Itās rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and its structure closely mirrors our skinās natural oilsāmaking it perfect for dry, sensitive, or irritated skin.
What ingredients do you use?
Our ingredients vary by product but may include:
ā¢ Hand-rendered beef tallow (from Michigan-raised cattle)
ā¢ Jojoba oil (gentle and balancing)
ā¢ Coconut oil (used in soaps for lather and cleansing)
ā¢ Essential oils (only in select products; always age-labeled)
ā¢ Vitamin E oil (used in some balms to extend shelf life)
We do not use avocado oil, preservatives, or added fragrance. Full ingredients are listed on each product page.
Can I use your products on my baby or during pregnancy?
Yes! Our unscented whipped tallow balm is safe for use on babies and during pregnancy. Always consult your healthcare provider if you're unsure. Essential oil products are labeled with appropriate age guidance.
How do I use the whipped tallow balm?
Scoop a small amount with clean, dry fingers and massage into skin. A little goes a long way! Use on hands, face, feet, baby bottoms, bug bites, sunburns, and more.
š§ Storage & Shelf Life
My balm meltedāwhat should I do?
Melting is completely normal in hot weather. Hereās what to do:
š Give it a stir, then pop it into the fridge for a short time, checking the consistency. Once it firms up, let it come to room temperature. The texture should return to normal. Itās still safe and fully effective.
How long do your products last?
Our products last 6ā12 months, depending on storage.
ā¢ Balms with vitamin E (like our scented balms) have a longer shelf life
ā¢ Products without vitamin Eālike the unscented balm, lip balm, on-the-go stick, and soapsāare best used within 6 months
How should I store it?
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep lids tightly closed and avoid getting water or dirty hands inside the jar.
š„ Rendering & Sourcing
Is your tallow grass-fed?
We intentionally choose not to label our tallow as āgrass-fed.ā The term is widely used but not regulated, especially in skincare. Companies may use pre-rendered tallow labeled grass-fed without knowing its origināor only include a small percentage of grass-fed fat.
At Made New Naturals, we prioritize transparency over buzzwords.
We source our suet directly from a trusted Michigan butcher, using Michigan-raised cattle, and we render it ourselves using wet and dry methods.
š½ļø You can even watch our rendering process on Instagram and Facebookāwe regularly post videos showing exactly how itās done.
š¦ Shipping & Returns
Where do you ship?
We ship within the United States. Shipping is free on orders over $70.
When will my order ship?
Orders are typically processed and shipped within 3ā5 business days. Youāll receive tracking info by email once it ships.
Do you accept returns?
