About us

Our skin is like a shield, the largest protective organ of our body. What we put on it is absorbed immediately. In a world full of synthetic products, our health often comes second.

In the quest for cheaper alternatives, traditional animal fats have been replaced by stable mineral oils. And we are flooded with products full of parabens, silicones and fillers that only create the illusion of effectiveness, at the expense of our health.

In 2021, my interest in holistic health began. By changing my diet and lifestyle, I got rid of several health ailments. When I then looked at the products I used daily, I was shocked: even the 'natural' options were often full of harmful substances.

There was no other option but to do it myself. So I simply started applying Tallow to my face. The results were extremely good. Over time I was looking for something more luxurious, in terms of scent and spreadability. (Tallow is hard at room temperature). So I slowly started adding ingredients, such as raw honey, and experimenting with different ratios and temperatures. Eventually the now popular Tallow & Honey Balm came about, which was perfect for me.

In addition to the balm, Tallow Soap also quickly took off. Friends and family were enthusiastic and thus Shrine Cosmetics was born. With the aim of being able to help as many people as possible who are looking for a natural product that works, without unnecessary junk.

Traditional ingredients, modern performance.
