There’s a moment each year when you can feel the world hold its breath: the fields go gold, the air smells of woodsmoke, and the warmth of summer fades into the cool promise of winter. On the farm, that shift slows everything down. The pace softens, the body listens, and even the skin asks for deeper care. Fall reminds us that slowing down isn’t stopping, it’s a different kind of growth.

Healthy skin begins from within. At Meadowlark Made, we explore the gut-skin connection and share holistic strategies to calm eczema, dermatitis, and acne using diet, lifestyle, and natural prairie-based products.

Nourish your skin naturally with Meadow Glow Facial Balm. This blend of pasture-raised tallow, meadowfoam oil, prairie herbs, local beeswax, and neroli essential oil, supports brighter, even-toned, glowing skin.

Former holistic esthetician Syd shares why oily or breakout-prone skin is often undernourished; and how Meadowlark Made’s Harmony Facial Balm uses wild-harvested herbs and skin-friendly tallow to restore calm, balance, and resilience.

As a former holistic esthetician and master formulator, we love ancestral ingredients like honey, tallow, and beeswax. But some combinations (like honey and tallow in balms) can be unsafe without proper formulation. Here’s why we keep our tallow products anhydrous, benefits of beeswax, and what to watch for in the saturated tallow market.

Foraged Grace is our whipped facial balm crafted for mature and dry skin. With wild-foraged herbs and skin-loving lipids, it softens fine lines, restores the barrier, and brings lasting moisture — no tugging, no harshness, just nourishment for graceful aging.

Your skin barrier is your body’s shield, keeping hydration in and irritants out. Learn how Meadowlark Made’s prairie-crafted skincare blends pork tallow, local beeswax, and organic oils to strengthen you skin barrier, lock in moisture, and support healthy, resilient skin.

Late summer can leave your skin feeling dry, sensitive, or just a little “off.” With over five years of experience in holistic skin care, I’ve learned that this is the perfect time to slow down, simplify, and give your skin what it really needs — moisture, rest, and support for the season ahead.

Formulated by a holistic esthetician, each Meadowlark Made facial balm is infused with slow-rendered tallow, hand-harvested herbs, and plant-based oils to support graceful aging, sensitive skin, and a healthy glow—no fillers, just nature’s wisdom.

Essential oils can enhance skincare when used thoughtfully. Learn how Meadowlark Made blends oils with tallow and herbs for gentle, nourishing formulas — including intentional facial skincare blends.

At Meadowlark Made + Farm, our skincare starts with slow farming and sacred stewardship. Learn how our Kunekune pigs, regenerative practices, and faith-led approach shape every jar we create.
