My journey & tallow skincare
I was never this crunchy. I used to use whatever beauty products were on sale. Not much phased about what is in it, as long as it fulfilled its function.…
The more I learn about skin, hormones, and how our bodies actually work, the more I find myself stripping things back. Not adding more products, more steps, more miracle ingredients. Just… less.
For years I bought into the idea that good skincare meant a full routine. Cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser, SPF, and whatever conventional skincare routine has been normalised. My bathroom shelf was full, but my skin wasn’t happy. And honestly, I couldn’t tell you what half of those ingredients were actually doing.
When I started learning about how our skin absorbs what we put on it, and how certain chemicals can interfere with our hormones, I realised we have overcomplicated skincare and wellness. The answer wasn’t another product. It was fewer products, made from things I could actually understand.
Every bar I make is cold-processed, which means I use lye to saponify fats at a low temperature. It’s a slower method, but it keeps the natural goodness of the oils and fat intact.
I use filtered and distilled water to steep and infuse botanicals. The fats are simple: tallow and fruit oils. Things that have been used for generations because they work.
What you won’t find: synthetic fragrances, endocrine disruptors, or filler ingredients that don’t serve a purpose. If it doesn’t need to be there, it’s not there.
I think we’ve been taught to fight our skin. To strip it, correct it, fix it. But skin isn’t broken. It just needs support.
That’s what I’m trying to offer with these soaps. Ingredients that are whole and unprocessed, that work in harmony with your body rather than against it. It’s not fancy, and it won’t promise to change your life overnight. But it’s honest, and it’s made with care.
This is skincare the way it used to be. Slow, intentional, and rooted in nature.
