Our Story
Back to what works.
Nudae started with a simple frustration - why does skincare have to be so complicated? We went looking for something better, and found it in the oldest skincare tradition there is.

Skin as it was meant
to be fed.
Simple, nourishing skincare inspired by nature.
Somewhere between synthetic skincare and 10-step routines, we forgot something. Our great-grandmothers didn’t have a routine. They had tallow.
Tallow isn't a trend. It's a return.

Why tallow?
Your skin's oldest ally.
Tallow shares an almost identical fatty acid profile to human skin sebum - making it uniquely biocompatible. Unlike synthetic moisturisers that sit on the surface, tallow works with your skin, not against it.
CLA
Anti-inflammatory fatty acid
A, D, E, K
Fat-soluble vitamins
0
Synthetic additives

Grass-fed sourced

I use it morning and night and my skin has stopped feeling tight and dry for the first time in years. There is a natural fat smell when you first open the tin — but you get used to it quickly and honestly it just tells you there’s nothing artificial in there. Skin has never felt better. Worth every cent.

I won’t lie, it felt a little rich the first time I used it — but I applied it to damp skin like the instructions say and it made all the difference. My skin has been so calm and soft since.

I’ve been using it for three weeks and my skin is genuinely the best it’s been. Such a simple ingredients list — I know exactly what I’m putting on my face.
