Our Story: Tallow Skincare Made for Sensitive Skin
Hi there, and thanks for being here!
Our small family business began with a simple but urgent need—to help improve the skin health of our two youngest children. They live with multiple food allergies, asthma, and severe eczema, and finding safe, effective skincare felt nearly impossible.
We tried countless “hypoallergenic” and over-the-counter products, but most caused more harm than good—often stinging and leaving their skin even more irritated. After years of frustration, and with a combined 21-year background in healthcare and cosmetology, I knew there had to be a better way.
So I got to work.
Why Tallow? A Return to Traditional Skincare
Tallow is simply rendered animal fat, most commonly from beef—but it’s far more powerful than it sounds. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with essential fatty acids, tallow closely mirrors the natural composition of our skin. This makes it incredibly nourishing and deeply compatible, especially for dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin.
In short—it’s real, effective skin food.
I source high-quality suet from a local butcher and carefully render it myself to ensure purity and consistency in every batch. From there, I create simple, intentional tallow skincare products designed to support and soothe even the most reactive skin.
From Our Kitchen to Families Like Yours
When we introduced tallow-based products into our children’s routines, the difference was undeniable. While not a cure for eczema, these products became one of the most helpful and deeply moisturizing solutions we had found.
That experience is what led us to share our products with others.
What started at one local market each week has grown into a brand now carried in over 35 stores across the country. We’re proud to support families who feel stuck between “nothing works” and “everything causes a reaction.”
Rooted in Tradition, Made with Purpose
Our logo—a heritage breed turkey—represents our commitment to traditional methods and time-tested ingredients. Tallow has been used in skincare for generations but was largely replaced during the industrial shift toward mass production and lower-cost ingredients.
We’re bringing it back—intentionally.
Every product we make is handcrafted with care. Each jar is hand-filled, each soap hand-cut, and every formula thoughtfully created with sensitive skin in mind.
This is truly a family business. Our kids are part of it all—helping with labeling, sorting, markets, and more. And the most meaningful part? Hearing from customers who finally found something that helps their skin—or their child’s skin—feel better.
Because we’ve been there.
More Than Skincare
In addition to our tallow skincare line, we also raise small batches of organically grown garlic, as well as lamb and poultry, right here on our farm. It’s all part of our commitment to quality, sustainability, and doing things the right way—not the easy way.
Our logo is a heritage breed turkey, which I get questions about often! It simply stands for traditional ways and ingredients. Which is fitting since tallow has been used since ancient times but was left behind during the industrial revolution when goods became mass produced for as cheap as possible and ingredient quality has continually become poorer ever since.
It truly is a family business! Each jar of lotion is hand piped, each soap hand cut, and all formulated simply and with purpose. All the kids help in various ways including labeling, marketing, sorting, and helping at events and farmers markets throughout the year. The best part is hearing from a customer that their skin or their child's skin has improved! It's just close to my heart, because I have been THAT parent before. Searching and trying anything to help make their baby's skin a "little happier".
We also produce small amounts of organically grown garlic, lamb and poultry meat on our tiny farm.
