Out of sheer desperation, our founder started searching for solutions outside the beaten path. That is when he discovered an age-old ingredient once common in skincare: grass-fed tallow. Rich in vitamins A, D, E and K, and fatty acids nearly identical to those in our skin. The very first tallow came from close by, straight from his aunt’s farm in the Netherlands. A few simple, homemade jars finally brought the relief that no luxury brand had been able to deliver.

What began as a personal discovery soon felt much bigger. He knew this had to be shared. Along the way, we created a strong team, who were just as passionate about the idea of skincare without the nonsense. They recognized the frustration, saw the potential of tallow, and decided to build something new together. That is how Cocotallow was born: skincare that is honest, fun, and effective, returning to the essence.

For a while, the three founders experimented, tested, and refined. Family and friends became the first testers, each jar handmade and improved with honest feedback. The kitchen turned into a small lab space and notebooks filled with formulas and tweaks. Slowly but surely, a cream was created that not only worked for Bodil but for everyone who tried it.

What began as Bodil’s personal search has grown into a brand with a mission: Cocotallow. Today, more and more people trust our creams, not because of fancy marketing but because they truly work. And we are just getting started. Together, Bodil, Christiaan, and Davey are building a more honest beauty industry, with skincare that actually does what it promises. From a Dutch farm to your bathroom shelf, this is only the beginning.
