Antiqua Luxe

The Tallow Soapery

While you’re browsing here at Mothers Homestead, you may notice our tallow soaps and skincare are lovingly crafted under a different name: The Tallow Soapery. This is my dedicated skincare business, created solely to focus on traditional, nutrient-rich tallow formulations for healthy, radiant skin. I’m delighted to offer these products here as well, so you can enjoy everything I make in one place while Mothers Homestead continues to grow. And if you’d like to explore the full skincare range and find more information about tallow, you’re always warmly welcome to visit and browse The Tallow Soapery website too.

Antiqua Luxe Body Butter is formulated to repair the skin barrier, deeply hydrate, and soothe inflammation, making it ideal for skin that is dry, reactive, or compromised by modern living.

Built on a base of grass-fed tallow and shea butter, this body butter provides lipid profiles that closely resemble human skin, allowing for superior absorption and long-term barrier support. With infused comfrey root, borage oil, baobab oil, calendula oil, neem oil and hemp seed oil; this formulation promotes calm, comfort, and visible skin renewal. Rather than sitting on the surface, Antiqua Luxe melts into the skin, improving elasticity, smoothness, and resilience with consistent use.

This is slow skincare for the body; rich, intentional, and designed to be used daily or as an intensive treatment for dry or troubled skin.
