What’s In My Products (And Why It Matters) 🤍

What’s In My Products (And Why It Matters) 🤍

When I started making my own skincare, I wasn’t trying to create a business — I was just looking for something better.

Something simple. Something I could trust. Something made with real ingredients.

That’s exactly what you’ll find in every product I create.

🌿 It Starts With Tallow

At the heart of my products is beef tallow, made from suet and trim.

I carefully wet render and then dry render the tallow to create a clean, nourishing base that your skin can truly recognize and use.

This process matters — it’s what creates a smooth, stable, high-quality balm without the need for fillers or synthetic ingredients.

✨ High-Quality, Organic Ingredients

Every additional ingredient I use is chosen with intention and sourced for quality.

I use organic, cold-pressed oils whenever possible to preserve their natural nutrients and benefits for your skin.

Depending on the product, ingredients may include:

• Organic beauty-grade olive oil
• Organic castor oil
• Organic jojoba oil
• Organic rosehip oil
• Organic raw cocoa butter
• Organic coconut oil
• Vitamin E oil

🌸 Thoughtfully Selected Additions

To enhance the experience and benefits of each product, I also use:

• Pure essential oils like frankincense, lavender, and geranium
• Natural mineral pigments like iron oxides (for color in makeup)
• Non-nano zinc oxide (for gentle sun protection and skin support)
• Organic Beeswax (for structure and protection in balms and sticks)
• Organic Cane Sugar (for gentle exfoliation in scrubs)

✨ Why These Ingredients Are So Nourishing for Your Skin

Each ingredient I use is chosen not just for simplicity, but because it truly supports your skin in a meaningful way.

  • Tallow – Rich in skin-loving fatty acids and nutrients that closely resemble your skin’s natural oils, helping to deeply moisturize and support the skin barrier.
  • Olive Oil (Beauty Grade) – Packed with antioxidants and healthy fats that help soften and protect the skin while locking in moisture.
  • Castor Oil – Known for its ability to deeply hydrate and help draw moisture into the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
  • Jojoba Oil – Very similar to your skin’s natural sebum, making it incredibly balancing and gentle, even for sensitive skin.
  • Rosehip Oil – Rich in vitamins and antioxidants that support skin renewal and help improve the appearance of tone and texture.
  • Raw Cocoa Butter – Deeply moisturizing and helps create a protective barrier to keep skin hydrated and soft.
  • Coconut Oil – Nourishing and cleansing, often used to gently remove makeup and support soft, smooth skin.
  • Vitamin E – A powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin and support overall skin health.

🌸 Supportive & Functional Ingredients

  • Frankincense Essential Oil – Often used to support the appearance of healthy, radiant skin.
  • Lavender Essential Oil – Known for its calming properties, both for the skin and overall experience.
  • Geranium Essential Oil – Helps promote balance and a healthy-looking complexion.
  • Beeswax – Creates a natural protective barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture without clogging pores.
  • Non-Nano Zinc Oxide – Sits on top of the skin to provide gentle protection and is often used for soothing and supporting sensitive skin.
  • Cane Sugar – A gentle, natural exfoliant that helps remove dry, dead skin to reveal smoother skin underneath.
  • Iron Oxides – Natural mineral pigments used to add safe, gentle color in makeup products.
  • Arrowroot Powder – Arrowroot helps create a smoother application for products with iron oxide.

🤍 Why I Keep It Simple

Most skincare products today are filled with long ingredient lists — many of which your skin doesn’t actually need.

I believe in doing the opposite.

Keeping things simple means:

  • Your skin can recognize and use the ingredients
  • You know exactly what you’re putting on your body
  • You can feel confident using these products on yourself and your family 

Why I Keep It Simple

Every product is:

  • Handmade in small batches
  • Carefully crafted from start to finish
  • Made with real, nourishing ingredients

Because you deserve skincare you can trust 🤍
