Christmas Gift Guide: Nature's Reserve Camel Suet Tallow Skincare
Short answer: our Nature's Reserve Christmas gift packs are handmade camel suet tallow skincare, priced from $82 to $119, and each one saves you between $14 and $22 on buying the balms separately. Choose the Day & Night Duo ($82), the Face Trio ($95) or The Pamper Pack ($119). For stocking fillers, our lip balms start at $16.50. The Christmas prices finish on 6 December 2026.
What is Nature's Reserve?
Nature's Reserve is our skincare range, made in small batches by us here at Shallow Well Beef. Most of it is made with camel suet tallow, which is the fat from around the kidneys rather than the hump. There's only a little of it on each animal, so not many people make skincare with it. We render it down until it's soft, clean and almost scent-free, then blend it with oils and butters into rich balms.
It's the same "nothing goes to waste" thinking that runs through everything we do on the farm.
