About Feral Beauty: Ancestral Skincare for Modern Life

At Feral Beauty, we go beyond traditional tallow-based skincare. While many brands offer heavy, oil-only formulations, we emulsify our tallow to create luxurious oil-and-water-based products. This unique process not only transforms nutrient-rich tallow into a lighter, more elegant texture that absorbs effortlessly, but also allows us to include both water- and oil-based active ingredients. The result is skincare that delivers deeper hydration, enhanced nourishment, and powerful actives—without the heaviness of traditional tallow balms.

Our Story

We believe the wild knows best. Our philosophy is rooted in the power of nature's most primal ingredients—animal-based, nutrient-dense, and biologically in sync with your skin.

Founded by Melissa Algate, a veteran in the skincare industry with over a decade of global experience, Feral Beauty is the result of a personal evolution. Melissa holds four international diplomas in skin and body care, and has worked with some of the most recognized names in luxury skincare. For years, she followed industry norms—plant-based formulations, synthetic actives, and over-complicated routines.

But in 2022, everything changed. Melissa adopted a carnivore lifestyle and quickly noticed transformative effects—not just internally, but on her skin. The clarity, strength, and balance she had sought for years suddenly came from within—and from the ancestral, animal-based ingredients she had once overlooked.

Driven by results and grounded in science, Melissa launched Feral Beauty to bring wildly effective, animal-based skincare to those ready to cut through the noise. We focus on potent, time-honoured ingredients like tallow, emu oil, collagen, and lanolin—all ethically sourced and minimally processed to nourish the skin as nature intended.

Our Unique Approach

This isn't a trend. It's a return to what your skin truly recognizes and thrives on. Our emulsified tallow formulations represent a breakthrough in animal-based skincare—combining the proven benefits of traditional ingredients with modern texture and absorption.

Every product in our premium collection harnesses the raw power of nature to deliver real results. From our deeply nourishing grass-fed tallow moisturizers to our innovative snail mucin serums, each formula is carefully crafted to work in harmony with your skin's natural processes.

Why Animal-Based Skincare?

Grass-fed tallow is remarkably similar to human skin's natural sebum, making it incredibly biocompatible. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, plus essential fatty acids, our emulsified tallow formulations deeply moisturize while supporting your skin's natural barrier function.

Unlike synthetic ingredients that can disrupt your skin's balance, our animal-based formulations work instinctively with your skin, delivering lasting hydration and protection that your skin truly recognizes.
