Clean Ingredients
No parabens, artificial fragrance, or synthetic colors. Nothing you can’t name.
WHY PORK TALLOW?
Not all tallow is the same.
Our tallow comes from Kunekune pigs we raise ourselves. It is lighter than beef tallow, nearly scentless, and especially high in vitamin D because our pigs graze on open pasture in the Iowa sunshine. It absorbs like your skin already knows it.
A Family Farm. A Shared Craft. A Slower Way of Doing Things.
What started as a need for safer, more honest products for our family turned into something more.
We’re a Veteran-owned, family-run farm raising heritage Kunekune pork and handcrafting tallow-based skincare in small batches.
We render our own tallow. We infuse our own herbs. We raise our animals with care and intention.
You’ll find us checking on pigs at sunrise, packing coolers for market, and pouring balms in our apothecary.
Nothing is rushed.
Just good work, done daily.
Simple Formulas, Real Results.
Made with ingredients your skin recognizes—and nothing it doesn’t.
