Not your average skincare brand
Welcome to Dutch Heritage Cosmetics, where tradition, nature, and a touch of quirkiness come together. No big teams. No investors. Just one woman, a kitchen, some pots of tallow, and an idea that got a little out of hand.
How it started
In 2021, I — Bianca — began making skincare in my own kitchen. It started out small, but demand grew quickly. By 2023, we moved into our first studio space, but within six months it was too small. We relocated to a beautiful 180 m² workspace in Kortenhoef, surrounded by farms and peace. Everything is still handmade here, from tallow creams to soaps, deodorants and sunscreens.
What we make
Our skincare is rooted in one of the oldest beauty traditions in the world: pasture-raised animal fat. We combine this with carefully selected organic ingredients, sourced directly from farmers and trusted suppliers. We give agricultural byproducts a second life as luxury skincare – good for your skin, and better for the planet.
All handmade. All in-house.
Product formulations? Me.
Label design and printing? Also me.
Website building, photography, copywriting? Still me.
Every jar is hand-labeled and filled right here.
Order shipping is handled by a fulfillment center now – because it just got too busy – but the rest stays handcrafted and personal.
Meet Bianca
I'm Bianca, born in Naarden, living in Soest, and running Dutch Heritage Cosmetics from Kortenhoef. I live an animal-based lifestyle, love a good steak and plenty of eggs, and in my free time you’ll find me reading books or lost in the stillness of nature.
I adore traveling, live with three crazy cats, and I'm a self-proclaimed conspiracy enthusiast.
You can tell me the wildest stories – I don't judge.
You won’t find me in supermarkets. I believe in supporting our farmers directly – and through DHC, you do too.
Thanks for being here. This little dream of mine wouldn’t be the same without you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our products and services
Yes, our tallow comes from grass-fed and grass-finished cows. Exactly the way it should be: pure, nutrient-rich, and top-quality.
Our tallow is sourced from a certified organic butcher in Limburg, who works closely with local farmers. We use fat from grass-fed Black Angus cows — a conscious choice for both quality and traceability.
Whenever possible, we choose organic ingredients. It’s better for you, and better for the planet.
Nope. Most of our products are available in an unscented version — no added fragrances at all. For scented products, we only use pure essential oils.
Absolutely. That’s exactly who we make them for. Our formulas are simple, nourishing, and gentle. And for those who are extra sensitive, we offer unscented versions without any irritants.
Our products have a shelf life of 6 to 12 months after opening. Unopened you can store the products 30 months.
No, please don’t. Tallow is a firm fat, much like butter. Keep your product at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and out of the fridge, to keep it smooth and spreadable.
Yes, all of our products are safe to use during pregnancy and suitable for little ones too.
Absolutely. Many of our customers use them as a daily face cream, nighttime moisturizer, or even lip balm.
Yes. We use glass jars and metal tins wherever possible — reusable, recyclable, and they look great on your shelf too.
