✨ Rendered Suet Update ✨

I’ve been getting tons of questions about the rendered suet I’ve been working on — especially now that I’m partnering with Silver K Farms! 🐄💛 it’s important to know that the products you’re using have clean ingredients. Tallow is no different. Before you buy any jar from the store shelf, make sure it’s a trusted name with quality ingredients, just like Silver K Farms’ grass-fed suet.

I can render suet into beautiful, clean tallow perfect for:
• skincare + balms
• soap making
• candles
• crafting
• homestead + DIY projects

I just can’t sell it as a food product, but for all your non-food, apothecary, old-world needs… I’ve got you covered!

✨ AND—through my partnership with Silver K Farms, we’ve launched an exclusive new product: Hand Repair Balm. Ultra-nourishing, tallow-based, with restorative frankincense essential oil crafted for dry, cracked winter hands. 🌿 (2oz. tin $14).

Slow-crafted, small-batch, and rooted in tradition.

🌑 Full Moon Cleanse Support 🌿

Did you know nature offers powerful allies for clearing parasites and restoring balance? Two of our favorites: black seed oil and oil of oregano.

🌿 Black Walnut Hull Tincture 🌿

Traditionally used for its powerful cleansing and antiparasitic properties, black walnut hull supports digestive health and helps the body naturally eliminate unwanted invaders. Rich in tannins and iodine, it also promotes a balanced gut environment and healthy skin from within.

Handcrafted in small batches at Mill Slough Apothecary, our black walnut hull tincture is made with freshly harvested green hulls and slow-extracted for potency and purity.

🖤 Black Seed Oil supports immune strength, soothes inflammation, and helps the body naturally eliminate unwanted guests.

🌿 Oil of Oregano is a potent antimicrobial and antifungal that helps cleanse the gut and support overall wellness.

Together, they make a strong natural team during a full moon parasite cleanse — working alongside herbs like black walnut, clove, and wormwood, and balanced with natural binders to sweep toxins away.

Support your body’s rhythm, trust the wisdom of plants, and feel the difference. 🌕✨

Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) has long been revered for its immune-boosting properties, especially when it comes to fighting respiratory illnesses and the common cold. Packed with antioxidants, flavonoids, and vitamins, elderberries help support the body’s natural defenses and may reduce the severity and duration of colds and flu-like symptoms.

This weekend was a special one for Mill Slough Apothecary. We were able to dabble in our Mill Slough Apothecary’s Herbal Charcuterie Collection for a very dear friend and bride! Our charcuterie is designed to blend the apothecary’s slow-crafted, earth-rooted wellness with beautiful, sensory food experiences.

We crafted 150 tallow lip balms for wedding guests and over 150 charcuterie cups for the reception — bringing our love for handcrafted, intentional creations into every corner of the celebration.

The lip balms were a nourishing keepsake guests could take home, while the charcuterie cups offered a new twist on our slow-crafted philosophy — fresh, beautiful, and made with the same heart as our apothecary line.

If you’re planning an event, we’d love to help you add that same handmade touch — whether it’s custom apothecary favors, wellness gifts, or beautifully curated grazing tables.

✨ Please feel free to message me for pricing and to help with ideas to make your next girls night, retreat, or event unforgettable!

🌿 Rooted in tradition. Crafted with care. Shared in celebration.

💖Be Well.

🌼 Introducing: Elderflower Whipped Tallow Face Cream 🌼

Our newest creation at Mill Slough Apothecary brings together the timeless beauty of elderflower with the nourishing power of grass-fed tallow and jojoba oil.

✨ Elderflower is rich in antioxidants and naturally soothing compounds that help calm inflammation, even skin tone, and promote a radiant glow. We slowly infuse these delicate blooms in jojoba oil, allowing their skin-loving benefits to meld into a silky, botanical infusion — then blend it into our signature whipped tallow base.

✨ Bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative, helps smooth fine lines, improve texture, and boost collagen — without irritation or sensitivity.

The result? A deeply moisturizing, lightweight cream that supports bright, balanced, youthful skin — crafted slowly, with care in small batches, and entirely from nature. 🌿

✨ Elderflower Whipped Tallow Face Cream — nature’s glow in a jar. ✨

Choose from unscented, lavender, or elderflower. Message to order.
