Hi, I'm Lily!
This all started in my own kitchen, trying to soothe dry, sensitive skin (and baby cheeks) with ingredients we actually trusted. No synthetics. No mystery "fragrance."
"Just nourishing, grass-fed tallow and old-world ingredients our grandparents would recognize."
What began as small batches for our own family turned into a community of families all over the US rediscovering ancestral skincare.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, tallow is excellent for oily and combination skin.
Because it closely resembles the skin’s own natural oils, it helps balance sebum production instead of clogging pores. Many customers with oily or acne-prone skin find that tallow helps calm breakouts, reduce redness, and restore a smooth, healthy complexion.
Tallow is non-comedogenic, deeply nourishing, and supports your skin barrier without leaving a greasy residue.
A little goes a long way. Most customers find that a single jar lasts 6–10 weeks with daily use, depending on how much you apply and whether you use it on just your face or your whole body. Because tallow is so concentrated and rich, you only need a pea-sized amount per application.
Yes, our tallow balms are gentle, clean, and safe for even the most delicate skin, including babies.
Our ingredients are simple, pure, and free from fragrances, preservatives, and synthetic additives. Many parents use tallow for rashes, dry patches, cradle cap, and general moisture. As always, if your baby has known sensitivities, we recommend doing a small patch test first.
