Biohacking Tallow Face Cream (Night Nourish Formula)

Why Use a Biohacking Tallow Face Cream?

A biohacking tallow face cream isn’t just another moisturiser—it’s a night-time ritual that supports both your skin and your cells. While you sleep, your body enters a state of deep repair and regeneration. Applying this nutrient-rich formula before bed enhances that process, combining ancestral skincare wisdom with modern biohacking science.

Tallow closely mimics your skin’s natural oils, making it highly absorbable and ideal for nourishing the skin barrier. This night nourish formula includes MCT oil, black seed oil, rosehip oil, and methylene blue—a powerful mitochondrial antioxidant shown to support collagen production and reduce signs of ageing. Paired with essential oils like frankincense and clary sage, this cream also nurtures emotional wellbeing through scent and ritual.

Perfect for dry, ageing, or tired skin, this is skincare that works while you rest.
