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.

Tallow isn’t defined by the animal it comes from, but by the process of rendering fat into something stable, pure, and incredibly nourishing. What started as a small batch of balm for our family, has turned into a product we’re proud to share.

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.
