The Clarifying Cream from Ancestral Cosmetics is a light, non-greasy cream specially developed for acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation and other forms of skin imbalance. Tallow, black seed oil and raw honey nourish, soothe and protect. The cream is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing, helps regulate sebum production and restores the skin barrier.

Black seed in Egypt

Black seed (Nigella sativa) is not related to kitchen cumin, but to the buttercup. A small bottle of black seed oil was found in Tutankhamun's tomb. In the Middle East, the seed is called habbat al-barakah, the blessed seed.

Made in Ireland

Ancestral Cosmetics makes this cream by hand in Ireland, with tallow, cold-pressed black seed oil, an extract with more than 3% thymoquinone, jojoba oil, raw honey, beeswax and essential oils of chamomile, clary sage and rose geranium.

Facts about this product

After cleansing, apply a small amount to face and neck, once or twice a day, as the last step of your routine.

Tallow & Black Seed Oil Clarifying Cream

This light, non-greasy cream has been specially developed for acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation or other forms of skin imbalance. The combination of grass-fed beef tallow, black seed oil and raw honey makes a powerful blend that deeply nourishes, soothes and protects the skin.

Why this cream works

The Clarifying Cream is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing. It helps regulate natural sebum production, restores the skin barrier and promotes healthy skin flora, all in a gentle, non-burdening way. Perfect for daily use.

Powerful, natural ingredients

100% grass-fed beef tallow: skin-identical fat, rich in vitamins A, D, E and K. Cold-pressed black seed oil: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and rich in antioxidants. Black seed extract: extra high in thymoquinone (more than 3%), for maximum effectiveness. Raw Irish honey: softens, balances and supports wound healing. Essential oils of chamomile, sage and rose geranium: soothe and care for the skin.

Without compromise

Free from synthetic substances, mineral oils and fragrances. Only real, pure ingredients that nourish and support the skin, no fillers, no junk.

Based on age-old wisdom and modern science

As with all their products, Ancestral Cosmetics only works with ingredients that are traditionally used in skincare, are 100% natural and are scientifically supported in terms of safety and effectiveness.

Unique benefits of beef tallow

BCFAs and OCFAs: fatty acids with natural antimicrobial action. Coenzyme Q10: protects against skin ageing. Omega-3 and 6: essential for a healthy skin barrier. Skin-identical lipids: support healthy skin flora and resilience.

What you still wanted to know.

For blemish-prone, oily or combination skin and skin with pigmentation spots. The cream is lighter and less greasy than the pure tallow balms.

After cleansing, apply a small amount to your face and neck and let it absorb, once or twice a day. Use it as the last step, over any serums or lighter oils.

The essential oils of chamomile, clary sage and rose geranium naturally contain limonene, geraniol, linalool, citral and citronellol. If you have sensitive skin, test on a small patch first. The cream contains tallow, honey and beeswax, so it is not vegan.
