Tallow & Charcoal Cleansing Balm effectively removes impurities and makeup without drying the skin. Formulated with 100% grass-fed beef tallow, organic castor oil, and activated charcoal, it cleanses deeply while nourishing and protecting the skin’s natural barrier. The activated charcoal detoxifies and unclogs pores, leaving the skin visibly cleaner and refreshed.
It is also packed with essential oils like Manuka, Clary Sage, and Rose Geranium that help balance sebum production, calm irritation, and promote a clear complexion.
Free from harsh chemicals, sulphates, and surfactants, this balm is ideal for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin. Whether used daily or as a makeup remover, it provides a gentle, natural cleanse that nourishes and revitalises the skin.
Why Ancestral Cosmetics is Healf
Ancestral Cosmetics’ mission is to bring back the ancient wisdom of natural beauty, using ingredients that have been trusted for over 5,000 years. The brand emerged from founders Renata and Mihael’s realisation that many food and skincare products poses health risks— with many "natural" cosmetics containing harmful preservatives, toxic mineral oils, hormone-disrupting fragrances, and cheap fillers disguised as natural ingredients. That’s why they decided to do things differently.
They developed products with ingredients that are so natural, they could be eaten. Their core ingredient, beef tallow, is a highly effective natural fat known for its deep moisturising and skin-repairing qualities. The brand also incorporates cold-pressed olive oil, raw local honey, and pure essential oils. With every product free of fillers and unnecessary extras, Ancestral Cosmetics brings you solutions you truly need for optimal skin health and wellness.
With our Healf Curation Process, we do the work for you. Shop with confidence knowing that every item has been tried, tested, and curated for you.

Cleansing balm
Does the job. Doesn't dissolve with warm water, you are better using a cloth to remove it.

The best wellbeing website…
The best health and wellbeing website in the UK. The range of products is fantastic, even on hard to reach USA products. I love the subscription service too. I'd be lost without this website.

Amazing!
Healf isn't just another wellbeing brand. They really get it. The products are fantastic, and the support is always so personal and genuine!
Janet
Great products, service, and customer support
Healf have a great range of wellbeing products not available elsewhere in the UK. They are competitively priced as one-off, but even better if you take up the 'subscription' which is super flexible too. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Healf.

I love Healf
It's the only place I get really decent health and wellbeing brands, particularly US brands. I've bought a Pvolve set, lots of Skinny Confidential stuff, Thorne supplements etc., the really great stuff that's impossible to get otherwise.
