Growing up in Bondi, where health and wellness are a huge part of life, I was inspired to create something that’s not only free of toxins but also sustainable—perfect for the environment we live in, with the beach and outdoor lifestyle at its core. Skincare for men is often overlooked, and self-care is sometimes even frowned upon, dismissed as unnecessary or indulgent. I created Bonditallow to challenge the toxic natural products on the market and provide a natural, effective solution for everyone. After much trial and error, I’ve finally developed a range of products that I’m proud to say is not only good for your skin but also requires minimal upkeep and fits seamlessly into an active, outdoor lifestyle.

My career in rugby and trade has shaped my approach to health and wellness. I’ve been following a animal based diet, which has done wonders for my performance on the field and in my trade work. If eating healthy fats can benefit my body internally, why shouldn’t the same principles apply externally? With the tough physical demands of trade work, water and land sports, shaving, and daily exposure to the Aussie conditions, our skin copes with a lot of wear and tear. All I wanted was a product that’s free from chemicals, made with organic ingredients, and built to last.

After using tallow for a month, I noticed my face felt tighter, my skin cleared up, and even some old injury scars started to fade. My partner actually asked, “Are you getting Botox?” That’s when I knew this product was really making a difference.
