Why Food-Grade Skincare Is Better for Your Skin

From the farm to our kitchen to your skin

Why Your Skincare Should Be Made in a Kitchen, Not a Lab

At Zero BS, we go to great lengths to ensure all our ingredients are locally sourced and that we have real relationships with our farmers and suppliers—whether it’s our grass-fed tallow, essential oils, beeswax, or cold-pressed olive oil.

We believe skincare should be made like food: in a kitchen, not a laboratory. That’s why we call our range skin food—because every ingredient is food-grade and there for a reason.

The Zero BS Philosophy: Back to Basics Skincare

Our approach is simple: combine ancestral skin remedies with modern science to create truly effective, petroleum-free skincare. If a product isn’t safe enough to eat, you shouldn’t be putting it on your skin.

The truth? Most skincare on the market is a chemical soup—either sitting on the surface collecting dust, or worse, being absorbed into your body. At Zero BS, every ingredient we use is natural, food-sourced, and safe enough to ingest.

What’s Really in Your Skincare Products?

Take a closer look at those mainstream moisturisers and cleansers. You’ll find:

• Petroleum by-products

• Chemically extracted seed oils

• Water-based formulations that require synthetic preservatives

Even so-called “natural” botanical products contain water (listed as aqua or aqueous cream)—which means they must contain preservatives to stop bacteria from growing. Some brands use synthetic vitamins or antioxidants as “natural” preservatives, but here’s the kicker: many of these are petrochemical derivatives too.

For example:

• Vitamins E, A, D, and C can all be synthesized from petroleum.

• Synthetic antioxidants like BHT still legally call themselves “vitamins.”

This is marketing spin—not skin nourishment.

Why Tallow is the Perfect Skin Match

Our free-range, grass-fed tallow is:

• A close molecular match to your skin’s natural oils

• Rich in bioavailable vitamins, fatty acids, and natural antioxidants

• Free from hormones, antibiotics, and chemical processing

Unlike synthetic preservatives, tallow’s natural antioxidants give our products a three-year shelf life—without needing to add a single chemical.

This makes our products not just safe, but clinically proven to support skin barrier repair, hydration, and inflammation reduction. That’s what makes Zero BS a therapeutic, not just another clean beauty brand.

Educate Yourself. Know Your Ingredients.

We’re not here to scare you—we’re here to help you think differently.

Start reading labels. Ask questions. If you wouldn’t eat it, why are you putting it on your skin?

At Zero BS, everything we make comes straight from the farm, to our kitchen, to your skin.
That’s skin food. No BS.
