Our Story
"I Didn't Set Out To Build A Skincare Company."
"When my son developed severe eczema at 18-months old, we tried everything doctors recommended.
Steroid creams would calm it for a while. Then it came back worse.
Watching him scratch until he bled was heartbreaking.
So I started researching the ingredients families had relied on long before modern skincare existed.
After months of testing, I created our Sano cream.
Within weeks, his skin had completely healed.
It never came back.
Today, thousands of families use that same cream to soothe eczema, psoriasis and sensitive skin naturally."
- Alex da Silva, Founder of Silva Cosmetics

What makes your Whipped Tallow Cream award-winning?
Our Whipped Tallow Cream is handcrafted from 100% grass-fed beef tallow, known for its vitamins A, D, E, and K that deeply nourish and support healthy skin. Its luxurious, whipped texture absorbs easily, delivering exceptional hydration without greasiness — the quality that earned it recognition.
Is tallow really good for your skin?
Yes! Tallow’s fatty acid profile closely resembles our skin’s natural oils, making it highly compatible and deeply moisturizing. It helps repair dryness, support the skin barrier, and promote smooth, balanced skin.
Can I use tallow on my face and body?
Absolutely. It’s gentle enough for the face and rich enough for dry areas like hands, elbows, and feet. A little goes a long way — just massage in a small amount as needed.
Does tallow smell beefy?
Not at all. Our tallow has been rendered to perfection. It’s lightly scented with a soothing blend of bergamot, may chang, and lavender essential oils, giving it a fresh herbal-citrus aroma with no animal scent.
Can natural skincare really help eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea?
Yes. Natural skincare can be very effective for eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea when it’s formulated to support a compromised skin barrier. Many conventional products contain fragrances, alcohols, and harsh ingredients that can trigger flare-ups.
Natural skincare made with gentle, skin-supportive ingredients helps calm inflammation, restore moisture, and protect the skin barrier — which is essential for long-term skin health.
Is natural skincare safe for long-term use on eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea?
Yes. High-quality natural skincare is designed for long-term use, making it suitable for chronic conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.
Unlike harsh treatments that may only suppress symptoms, natural skincare supports the skin’s own healing process. When products are fragrance-free, non-toxic, and barrier-focused, they can be safely used every day as part of a long-term skincare routine.
How long does it take to see results from natural skincare?
Everyone’s skin is different, but many customers notice improvements within a few weeks of consistent use. Early changes often include:
- Less itching or discomfort
- Improved hydration
- Reduced redness
Because these are chronic skin conditions, healing happens gradually. Using gentle, supportive skincare daily gives the skin the best chance to repair and stay balanced long-term.
Why does my skin flare up when I use “normal” skincare products?
Many mainstream skincare products are not designed for sensitive or inflamed skin conditions. Even products labelled “gentle” can contain ingredients that strip the skin barrier or cause irritation.
When the barrier is weakened, the skin loses moisture more easily and becomes reactive. This can lead to redness, itching, dryness, and flare-ups. Switching to skincare specifically formulated for eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea can help calm and protect the skin.
What ingredients should I look for if I have eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea?
Look for simple, nourishing ingredients that soothe and strengthen the skin rather than irriate it. The best skincare for eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea focuses on:
- Supporting the skin barrier
- Reducing redness and irritation
- Locking in moisture without clogging pores
Avoid products with synthetic fragrance, harsh cleansers, drying alcohols, and unnecessary fillers, as these are common triggers for sensitive and inflamed skin.
Is it suitable for sensitive, acne or eczema prone skin?
Yes. Our tallow cream contains only natural, non-comedogenic ingredients and no synthetic additives. It’s ideal for dry, sensitive, and mature skin types and often well-tolerated by eczema and acne-prone skin too.
How should I store it?
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because it’s whipped, it may soften slightly in warm weather but will firm back up when cooled.
