THE FOUNDER STORY
A lifetime of struggling. A return to what always worked.
Kylie has struggled with rosacea, acne, psoriasis and reactive skin since she was 12 years old. A lifetime of trying everything the skincare industry told her to use creams, steroids, prescriptions, dermatologist visits. Nothing stuck. Nothing lasted.
Then at 12, her doctor gave her two pieces of advice: move to Queensland for the UV. And use beef tallow on her skin.
Here she is at 39 living in Queensland, using beef tallow every single day. And it works.
The same advice her doctor gave her 12 year old self with psoriasis, rosacea and reactive skin decades ago is the foundation of every product Outback Tallow Co makes today. UV and beef tallow. Simple. Proven. Timeless.
What started in her kitchen in Townsville is now produced with world-leading manufacturer who guarantee batch after batch quality, contamination control and consistency. Old-age wisdom. Modern-day science. Simple. Effective.

THE INGREDIENTS AND WHAT THEY DO
Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
Tallow has been used to care for skin for centuries. Grass-fed beef tallow has a fat profile almost identical to human skin lipids meaning it absorbs deeply without sitting on top of the skin or clogging pores. It is rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and palmitoleic acid. These compounds support the skin barrier, reduce the appearance of redness, promote cell turnover and help the skin hold moisture naturally. Grass-fed tallow contains a superior nutritional profile.
Organic Jojoba Oil
Jojoba is technically a liquid wax ester not an oil at all. This matters because its molecular structure is remarkably similar to the skin's own natural sebum. This makes it one of the most skin compatible moisturising ingredients on the planet. It absorbs easily, helps balance the skin's natural oil production and creates a lightweight protective layer without blocking pores. For sensitive, reactive, eczema and psoriasis-prone skin, Organic jojoba is one of the gentlest and most effective ingredients available.
Blue Tansy Essential Oil
Blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum) gives Bootin the Blues its distinctive blue green colour. It is widely used in natural skincare for its calming properties and is a popular choice for sensitive, reactive and redness-prone skin.
Helichrysum Essential Oil
Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum), also known as Immortelle or Everlasting, is one of the most prized botanicals in natural skincare. Commonly used to support the appearance of calm, balanced skin particularly popular for sensitive or stressed skin.
Chamomile Essential Oil
Chamomile has been used for centuries in natural skincare for its gentle, calming properties. In Bootin the Blues it rounds out the botanical blend, adding another layer of gentleness to the formula.
Full ingredients: Grass Fed Beef Tallow, Organic Jojoba Oil, Helichrysum Essential Oil, Blue Tansy Essential Oil, Chamomile Essential Oil.
