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.

Whether it’s your first tattoo or your fifteenth, your skin deserves more than a drugstore afterthought. Our Tattoo Balm blends heritage Kunekune tallow, skin-soothing herbs, and a whisper of essential oils into one deeply nourishing formula—crafted to support recovery, comfort, and ink vibrancy from day one. No petroleum. No fake fragrance. Just real, recognizable ingredients.

Herbalism, to me, isn’t just about remedies. It’s about relationship. It’s about walking barefoot down the dirt road near our home, or wandering through my parents’ timber, or pausing in a meadow—and staying open. My eyes are always scanning the ground, not just for plants, but for the lessons they carry. It’s a quiet kind of learning, guided by curiosity, reverence, and faith.

Before lab‑made drugs dominated, herbs growing freely in ditches and prairies were our medicine. In this blog, we explore how plants once trusted for healing were labeled unwanted, and why it matters to restore ancestral wisdom and our connection to the land.

Not all lip balms are created equal. Ours is rich, smooth, and made with ingredients your great-grandmother would recognize: from nourishing pork tallow to soothing rosehip oil. No fillers, no mystery stuff—just real results.
