returning to what's real

Modern skincare has strayed far from its roots - packed with synthetic chemicals, overcomplicated formulas, and ingredients stripped of their natural vitality. At amio, we believe in going back to basics. Skincare, like food, should come from real, nourishing sources - not from a lab. Grass-fed tallow brings the skin exactly what it needs: the full spectrum of fatty acids, vitamins A, D, and K, and antioxidants that nature intended. No fillers, no hormone disruptors - just simple, time-honored nourishment that works.

sourced with purpose

amio’s tallow is proudly sourced here in Aotearoa New Zealand, from grass-fed and finished cattle raised with care. We believe the shortest journey from source to skin creates the most potent results. Our balms are carefully formulated and crafted in certified facilities to ensure purity, quality, and transparency.

ingredients you recognise

We’re exposed to countless chemicals every day - many of which have no business being in skincare.

The average woman applies around 168 different chemicals to her body every day through personal care products. It only takes 6 seconds for those chemicals to absorb into your skin.

At amio, we believe less is more. Our formulas are built around ingredients you can recognise and trust. By choosing nutrient-rich, unrefined tallow, we avoid the instability of highly processed seed oils and the hidden risks of synthetic additives. Our products are free from preservatives, synthetic emulsifiers, and unnecessary extras - because your skin deserves better.

naturally resilient, naturally effective

Thanks to its unique composition, tallow closely mirrors the structure of human skin lipids, making it incredibly compatible and effective. It’s naturally shelf-stable without the need for chemical preservatives, keeping its nutrients intact. Unlike many plant oils, which can oxidise quickly due to their high polyunsaturated fat content, tallow remains robust and nourishing over time.

full circle

amio means "to circle" - and for us, it’s a symbol of coming full circle with how we care for ourselves. Stepping back from the modern skincare industry crowded with unfamiliar chemicals and complicated routines and going back to time tested, trusted ingredients from the earth.
