There's one rule behind everything in our store.
Every product we sell is one I've used myself and like.
That's not a slogan. It's the filter every product goes through before it earns a spot, whether it's a bread bag, a jar of seasoning or a tallow balm. It's also why our skincare shelf is short. Short ingredient lists. Ingredients chosen for what they do. Beeswax and honey from our own farm wherever we can use them.
At first I made all of our soaps and skin care, but as our little store grew, I simply didn't have enough time anymore. Thing would regularly be out of stock, and I just couldn't keep up. That is when I realized that our maker community didn't have to be confined to sewing. Now, local women help me keep those same skin care recipes stocked and ready to ship.
If you're new here, this is the whole lineup, and where I'd start.
Start here: Frankincense Tallow Balm
If you only buy one skincare product from us, make it this one.
The Frankincense Tallow Balm has been the only moisturizer I've used on my face for more than three years. It's the first thing we grab for a sunburn, and it's what we reached for when my son was dealing with eczema.
Ingredients: grass-fed tallow, olive oil, calendula oil, frankincense essential oil, lavender essential oil, lemongrass essential oil.
Tallow is rich in fatty acids that closely resemble the oils your skin already makes, along with vitamins A, D, E and K. It helps your skin hold on to moisture and keep its barrier intact. Everything else on this list was built around it. (For the full story, read Why We Put Tallow on Our Skin.)
For your face
- Charcoal & Tallow Face Bar: tallow, water, sodium hydroxide, castor oil and activated charcoal. The wash that goes with the balm.
-
Tinted Lip Balm: tallow, jojoba oil and local beeswax with mineral pigments for a sheer tint. Rosy Petal for subtle and everyday, Harvest Blush for warmth, Farmstead Berry for a fresh flush.
For your body
- Tallow Body Balm: our customers loved the Frankincense Tallow Balm so much they asked for one made for the whole body. Tallow, local beeswax, shea butter, jojoba oil, and lemon and lemongrass essential oils.
-
Lotion Bar: a 2 oz bar of organic beeswax, olive oil, shea butter and mango butter that softens with your body heat. Oat Milk & Honey, Lavender, Lemon Breeze and Unscented.
-
Hand Made Soap: most of our bars are made with honey and beeswax produced on our farm, plus olive oil, shea butter and castor oil. Scents include Lemon Honey Breeze, Milk & Honey, Lavender Field, Golden Orchard and Frankincense & Charcoal. There's also a travel sample set and an Ends & Cuts variety pack.
-
Hand Made Lotion: this is the one product on this list we don't make start to finish ourselves. It's handmade in small batches in partnership with Wash Ashore Soaps, with rice bran oil, aloe vera, mango butter and chamomile extract. I want you to know that up front.
For your lips
- Lip Balm: the beeswax comes from our own hives. Choose Tallow & Beeswax (Unscented or Lemon & Honey), or the Beeswax version, made with sweet almond oil, mango butter, coconut oil and avocado oil, if you'd rather skip tallow.
Small things that help
- Itch Stick: tallow, jojoba oil, shea butter, beeswax, calendula and peppermint, lavender and tea tree essential oils, in a pocket-size stick for bug bites and dry, itchy spots. Kids love having their own.
-
Soap Sack: natural fiber exfoliation without a plastic loofah. Hang your bar and skip the soapy puddle.
-
Soap Dish: the angled bottom drains back into the sink and leaves you with a dry bar of soap.
Sets
- Nourish and Flourish Face Set: Tallow Balm, Charcoal & Tallow Face Bar and Lip Balm. The whole face routine.
-
Tallow & Tranquility Set: Tallow Balm, Soap Body Bar, Face Bar, Lip Balm and Beeswax Lotion Bar. Head to toe, and our favorite gift.
