About us

We're a small family living in the countryside, where calm, nature, and simplicity have always been a natural part of life.

For over three decades, we've used our own tallow as skincare – an old family recipe that began as a way to make use of what nature provides, and turned out to be something truly special.

For many years, we only shared it with friends and family.
They kept coming back with the same words: "This is the only thing that actually works."

Eventually, our youngest son Rafael suggested we share our tradition with more people – and that's how Rafael Mini was born.

Today, we make two things, both by hand: our tallow skincare and our scented candles. Two different crafts, but the same philosophy – natural ingredients, small batches, and no shortcuts.

All our tallow comes from our own farm, where we do everything ourselves – from rendering and purifying to stirring, pouring, cooling, and labeling every jar by hand. The same care goes into our scented candles, hand-poured in small batches.

We produce everything fresh, in small batches, to preserve all the nutrient-rich fatty acids and bioactive properties that make tallow so unique for the skin.

We add no synthetic preservatives or unnecessary ingredients – just pure, fresh tallow, local honey, and natural extracts your skin will love.

Our balm is registered in the EU's CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal) and meets established criteria for natural skincare.
This means every product is reviewed, safe, and made in accordance with recognized standards for quality and safety — without compromising on what's natural.

When you order from us, your product is made to order. It takes a little longer, but the result is something else entirely:

• Skincare and candles that feel alive, genuine, and made just for you.

We know there are many selling tallow products and candles today, but the difference lies in the freshness and the craftsmanship.
If a product can ship straight from a warehouse, it has likely been sitting there for a long time – losing its scent, nutrients, and effect.

Our philosophy is simple: Better to be slower, but made with love and respect for both the raw ingredients and the customer.

We're not a big company. We're just a family who believes that the best things come from nature, not from factories.

Every jar and every candle we send from our farm is the result of care, experience, and love – from our family to yours.
