Credibility & Certification

Are your organic and grass-fed claims independently verified?

Yes. Hayes Meadow is fully certified by both the Soil Association (Organic AB20424) and A Greener World (Certified Grass Fed & Finished, Animal Welfare Approved, Non-GMO).
These independent bodies guarantee that our animals are fed only grass and forage, and that our land management protects soil, water, and wildlife.

Why is certification important?

In a world full of “natural” and “farm-made” marketing, certification brings real accountability.
The Soil Association ensures we meet rigorous organic standards — no synthetic inputs, antibiotics, or GM feed — while A Greener World confirms our high-welfare, grass-fed, and sustainable farming methods.
You can review our certifications directly through the Soil Association (soilassociation.org/our-standards) and A Greener World.

Hayes Meadow certifications reflect our commitment to honesty, quality, and environmental care. We believe tallow skincare should come from trustworthy sources and clear methods, not marketing claims. That’s why we share our process openly and hold ourselves to high standards every day.

We use natural ingredients and render our own tallow in small batches here in the Devon. The tallow we use is fully traceable and sourced from local farms that meet strict welfare and environmental guidelines. In addition, our packaging is recyclable, and we avoid unnecessary additives or synthetic fragrances.

Although we are a small business, we follow many of the same principles required by formal certification bodies. For example, our products meet cosmetic regulations and we are inspected by trading standards. Each product is legally compliant, safe to use, and created under responsible conditions.

Transparency is central to our work. We publish information about our ingredients and processes so customers can make informed choices. You can learn more about our approach to natural tallow skincare or read about our gift sets to see how we put our values into practice.

For those interested in wider industry standards, you can find details on UK cosmetic product safety rules. We align our processes with those principles to ensure every Hayes Meadow item is safe, sustainable, and true to its word.
