Promoters argue this makes it more compatible with skin than many plant-based alternatives.<\/p><p class=\"text-sm text-foreground\/70 leading-[1.8] mb-3\">Tallow is also solid at room temperature, which makes it useful for balms, body butters, and thick moisturisers without needing added waxes or thickeners.

Claiming your tallow balm &#8220;heals eczema&#8221; or &#8220;treats dry skin conditions&#8221; puts your product into therapeutic goods territory, which is regulated by the TGA. Stick to cosmetic language: &#8220;moisturises,&#8221; &#8220;softens,&#8221; &#8220;nourishes.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"text-sm text-foreground\/70 leading-[1.8] mb-3\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-foreground\/90\">Source carefully and keep records.<\/strong>\u00a0Know where your tallow comes from.

Tallow is a legal cosmetic ingredient in Australia. It needs to be listed correctly on your product label using its INCI name. For example, &#8220;Tallow&#8221; or &#8220;Adeps Bovis&#8221;\u00a0 and your product must meet standard Australian cosmetic regulations. There are no specific restrictions on tallow as a cosmetic ingredient.<\/p><p class=\"text-sm text-foreground\/70 leading-[1.8] mb-3\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-foreground\/90\">Do I need insurance to sell tallow skincare in Australia?<\/strong> Yes, product liability insurance is strongly recommended for anyone selling handmade skincare, including tallow-based products. If a customer claims your product caused a skin reaction or other harm, product liability insurance covers the cost of defending that claim and any compensation that may be awarded. Selling without it puts your personal finances at risk.<\/p><p class=\"text-sm text-foreground\/70 leading-[1.8] mb-3\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-foreground\/90\">Is tallow vegan-friendly?<\/strong>\u00a0No. Tallow is an animal-derived ingredient, rendered from beef or mutton fat. It is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian customers and is not considered vegan by any mainstream definition. If vegan credentials matter to your target market, tallow is not the right ingredient choice.<\/p><p class=\"text-sm text-foreground\/70 leading-[1.8] mb-3\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-foreground\/90\">Does AUZi cover tallow-based skincare products?<\/strong> AUZi offers product liability insurance for handmade skincare businesses, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auzi.com\/portal\/soap-candles-insurance\/\">soap and candle makers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auzi.com\/portal\/cosmetic-product-maker-insurance\/\">cosmetic manufacturers<\/a>. If you sell tallow-based products, the first step is the Supported Products list for our Soap &amp; Candle Makers policy, and if your products are outside of the supported list, move to our Cosmetic Manufacturers supported product list. If all of your products fall within the supported category, obtain a quote and place cover all online in minutes.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"text-sm text-foreground\/70 leading-[1.8] mb-3\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-foreground\/90\">What is the difference between product liability and public liability for skincare sellers?<\/strong> Public liability covers injury or property damage that happens at your place of business or at an event, for example, a customer slipping at your market stall. Product liability covers claims that arise from your product, causing harm.\u00a0 If you sell skincare, you need both.<\/p><p class=\"text-sm text-foreground\/70 leading-[1.8] mb-3\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-foreground\/90\">Do I need to register my tallow skincare with the TGA?<\/strong> Most cosmetic products do not need TGA registration. But if your product makes therapeutic claims. For example, If it treats a skin condition, it may need to be listed or registered as a therapeutic good. Stick to cosmetic claims, and you are unlikely to trigger TGA requirements. If you are unsure, check the TGA&#8217;s guidance on the difference between cosmetics and therapeutic goods.<\/p><p class=\"text-sm text-foreground\/70 leading-[1.8] mb-3\"><strong class=\"font-semibold text-foreground\/90\">How do I find out if my tallow source is grass-fed or pasture-raised?<\/strong> Ask your supplier directly and request documentation. Reputable suppliers should be able to tell you the origin of their tallow and the farming practices involved. If you are marketing your products as grass-fed, you need to be able to substantiate that claim, so keep records of what your supplier provides.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53f4b68 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"53f4b68\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If you are making or selling tallow-based skincare and want to make sure you have the right cover, please take the time to review our Soap &amp; Candle Makers policy and\/or Cosmetic Manufacturing policy.
