Feed Your Skin: The Fattish Philosophy
Discover the power of tallow skincare with Fattish by Traditional Table — natural, handcrafted lotions made from pure, slow-rendered fats. Feed your skin the way nature intended.
There was a time when skincare was simple — when people used what nature provided, and everything that touched the skin came from the same kitchen that nourished the body. At Traditional Table, that philosophy never left us. It just evolved.
Meet Fattish — our skincare range born from pure, slow-rendered tallow and inspired by the idea that your skin deserves to be fed, not coated.
From the Table to the Tin
Our story began with real food — beef tallow, lard, and ghee, made the old-fashioned way right here in the Hessequa region of the Garden Route. These natural fats are rich in nutrients that nourish the body from the inside out. But what if the same goodness that makes your roast potatoes golden could make your skin glow?
That’s the beauty of Fattish — the same purity, rendered gently and whipped into a rich, velvety body butter that feels indulgent yet deeply natural.
No complicated ingredient lists.
No synthetic fillers.
Just real fat, real results.
Why Tallow?
Our ancestors knew what modern science is rediscovering — tallow is skin food.
It’s incredibly close in structure to our skin’s natural oils, which makes it easily absorbed and deeply restorative.
Tallow is packed with:
Vitamins A, D, E, and K – essential for skin repair, tone, and elasticity
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) – helps soothe inflammation and redness
Stearic and palmitic acids – support the skin barrier and lock in moisture
Natural antioxidants – protect against dryness and environmental stress
It’s the most bioavailable moisturizer nature ever made.
What Tallow Skincare Is Good For
Tallow is a powerhouse for all skin types — from dry and sensitive to oily and acne-prone.
Tallow skincare helps with:
Dry or cracked skin: Deeply hydrates without clogging pores.
Eczema, psoriasis & dermatitis: Soothes irritation and supports healing.
Aging skin: Improves elasticity, tone, and texture while reducing fine lines naturally.
Acne-prone skin: Balances sebum production and supports the skin’s microbiome.
After sun or shaving: Replenishes and repairs skin after exposure or irritation.
Baby skin: Gentle enough for little ones — pure, chemical-free nourishment.
How to Use Tallow Body Butter
A little goes a long way. Fattish is pure fat — no water, no filler — so you only need a small amount for deep hydration.
Directions:
Warm a pea-sized amount between your palms.
Apply to slightly damp skin after a shower or bath.
Massage gently until absorbed.
Bonus uses:
As an overnight hand or foot balm (cover with cotton socks or gloves).
As a post-sun repair treatment for shoulders, nose, or chest.
As a natural makeup remover — gentle on eyes and effective at breaking down makeup.
Your skin will feel nourished, supple, and softly radiant — without any greasy residue.

From Farm to Skin
What makes Fattish unique isn’t just what’s in the tin — it’s how it’s made. Each batch is rendered, purified, and whipped by hand, right here where it all began.
We believe in honest ingredients and ancestral wisdom — because what we put on our skin should be as real as what we put on our plates.
Both are handcrafted in small batches in Stilbaai, where sea air meets pastureland and time moves a little slower.
Feed Your Skin, Naturally
If your skincare shelf feels a little too complicated — it’s time to simplify. Go back to the basics. Back to the fats that built generations of healthy, resilient skin.
It’s time to get a little Fattish.
