WAGYU TALLOW, THE SKIN COMPATIBLE SECRET.

BEFORE SERUMS. BEFORE SYNTHETIC EMOLLIENTS. THERE WAS TALLOW.

Used traditionally for generations, tallow is experiencing a modern return to skincare. But KOYU takes the idea further.

Human sebum, our skin's own protective oil, is rich in fatty acids like oleic and palmitic acid.

Wagyu Tallow shares several of these same fatty acids, closely mirroring skin's own chemistry. It works with skin rather than sitting on top of it.

But KOYU isn't simply tallow in a jar.

We combine Wagyu Tallow with carefully selected skincare actives to create dedicated formulas for different moments of the day.
