❤️ Handcrafted with Pride in Park Forest, Illinois, USA ❤️
Nefertem began in 2012 as one of the first modern tallow skincare brands in America. We started with a simple goal, to create real natural skincare without hidden chemicals.
What began as a personal need for our family grew into a commitment to pure ingredients, honest processes, and traditional craftsmanship.
From the start, we chose to hand render grass fed, grass finished tallow in small batches.
This slow, hands on method protects the integrity of the fat and honors the old world approach that inspired us. It also allowed us to teach our children the value of discipline, quality, and doing for self.
Today, every moisturizer, soap bar, salve, and balm we make reflects that same intention.
Clean ingredients, no fillers, and timeless methods that have served families for generations.
Nefertem is more than skincare. It is a continuation of tradition, a celebration of Midwest workmanship, and a promise to create products that you can trust on your skin and in your home.
Thank you for supporting our little, family owned brand that still makes everything by hand, right here in the USA.
We hand-render grass-fed tallow, follow strict quality standards, and craft every product with intention.
Our family has been working with tallow for more than 15 years, learning and refining methods that keep the ingredient at its purest.

Nefertem, in ancient mythology, is the embodiment of healing, beauty, and renewal.
Represented by the lotus flower rising from muddy waters, Nefertem symbolizes integrity, growth, and the potential to bring order out of chaos.
This principle inspires everything we do. Like the lotus, we believe in rising each day with purpose, crafting products with care and intention to uplift humanity.
The name Nefertem reminds us to honor our values, truth, balance, and harmony, as we strive to make a positive impact one handcrafted creation at a time.
