Meet Emily

Hi! We’re Chris and Emily – the husband-and-wife team behind Bloom Tallow, based out of Nelson, New Zealand.

Our journey started in our own home, during one of the toughest seasons of Chris’s life. After years of battling eczema and reactive skin, Chris found himself stuck in the never-ending cycle of steroid creams, antibiotics, and moisturisers. Eventually, he hit a wall—his skin became so sensitive that even basic products caused stinging, flaking, and pain. He was diagnosed with Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) and began a long, difficult road toward recovery.

In the middle of that, we started asking: what if we went back to something simple? Something nourishing?

That’s when Emily began making small batches of whipped lamb tallow balm in our kitchen—using 100% grass-fed lamb tallow from right here in New Zealand. We kept it pure and clean, with only a few ingredients to support healing and hydration. The results were amazing.

Chris found the balm incredibly soothing. It helped reduce inflammation, calmed his skin, and supported the healing of wounds. The tallow balm became a key part of his daily routine—and continues to be. He recommends the unscented version, especially for sensitive and compromised skin.

What started as a balm for Chris soon became something friends and family were asking for too. So, we decided to make it available to others who might be struggling just like we were. And that’s how Bloom Tallow was born.

We believe skincare shouldn’t be complicated. It should be gentle, natural, and truly nourishing. Our tallow balm is made with care in Nelson, NZ, using local ingredients.

Thanks for being here. We’re so glad you found us.

Real Results with Bloom Tallow – Blue Tansy 🌿✨

This is a vulnerable post for me but I’m wanting to share my results.

I’m nearing the end of my pottle of Bloom Tallow “Blue Tansy,” and after using it consistently for about a month, I knew I had to share my honest experience—because the results speak for themselves.

In the “before” photo, I had fake tan on, which actually masked a lot of the texture and breakouts I was dealing with. The “after” photos…
That’s my bare, natural skin—and I’m honestly blown away. My skin is noticeably more glowy, breakouts have reduced, pigmentation has calmed, and my overall complexion just looks so much healthier.

After spending thousands on skincare products and even cosmetic clinic treatments with no real long-term improvements, I decided to take a more natural approach. That’s when I found Bloom Tallow.

I still have a long way to go, it’s not an overnight fix.. but these small wins feel amazing to me. Thank you, Bloom Tallow, for creating something that actually works. 💙👏🏼

I personally LOVE the scent of this tallow it’s so sweet but not overpowering, I’ve been using it on my body after showers to keep my skin feeling hydrated during the cold days and it helps so much!

Golden hour Tallow

I tend to get dry patches on my face/skin and for years I’ve struggled to find a product that wasn’t too harsh. My skin doesn’t get irritated at all and I only need to apply bloom tallow a few times over the week before my skin is back to normal!

My son's dry skin bumps on knees and elbows are healing up nicely. Eczema on face and backs of knees, likewise. He reports no stinging sensation, which he has experienced with other creams and lotions. Thank you! We'll be ordering more!

I am hooked on tallow

So glad I can get more on line. My skin and hair love it. My curly hair isn't dry and frizzy anymore and my skin feels so much better (less dry). Perfect for hands as well.

Beautiful product

I love this product, so smooth and nourishing and makes my skin so soft. I prefer the sented over unscented.

Good stuff

Very nourishing cream- I had a patch of itchy psoriasis or similar on my ankle that had been there for about 5 months and nothing was helping it. I started using Bloom tallow on it daily after showering and it cleared up completely within 3 weeks. Love it

My son had a skin infection on his hand, which has been hard to get rid of, it is a fight to get him use eczema cream. He doesn't like using creams at all! Once he tried Bloom Tallow, that all changed. He loves it! It has helped to clear up his skin infection. It's a win from us!

Miracle tallow

I had some eczema on the back of my legs that I struggled to get rid of for the last 2 years. Even with using steroid creams the eczema would always come back. Within 3 days of using Bloom Tallow my eczema was cleared and skin was soft again. It even soothes the itching. Love it!!
