What an amazing welcome from the Marquette Co-op! This is what community is all about. I'm so grateful for their support and for helping us bring Sovereign Skincare to more people in the U.P. Come say hi during Wellness Weekend and see what they're all about!

We're so excited to welcome another local maker to our Wellness Department — Sovereign Skincare from Calumet!

"At Sovereign Skincare, we're reviving a daily ritual our ancestors once knew, transforming local, whole ingredients into comprehensive formulas that feed your skin and nourish your spirit. Where others simplify, we alchemize. Because life is better fully moisturized!

Quality starts at the source. We obtain our tallow directly from local farms committed to ethical and regenerative practices, including our trusted partners Barb and Matt Guindon at Guindon Farms and Jean and Nathan McParlan at Frozen Farms in Calumet. We render it ourselves in small batches using our signature triple-filter process to ensure the highest purity.

Our commitment to quality means every blend is founder-formulated and packed full of healing herbs and mushrooms to harness the synergistic properties of each element. When we can't source locally, we use exclusively certified organic ingredients to ensure the final product awakens your skin's innate vitality."

Follow along at to see the alchemy in action! FEED YOUR SKIN LIKE THE SOIL."

I was in the lab yesterday pushing a new formula to its limits🤪 Just seeing what was possible, when something clicked. I had a total revelation.

I never set out to replace tallow. I love it too much! My goal was to understand it deeply so I could learn its secrets and honor its unique essence.

Well, after a ton of trial and error, I did just that. I've alchemized a new tallow-inspired vegetarian blend that has nearly identical properties.

Profane? Probably. Sacrilege? Most likely. Coming soon? Without a doubt!

When the world gives you cold... You give it FIRE!

INTRODUCING KALI'S KARMA. This is more than just a moisturizer. It's a formula designed to STOKE YOUR INNER FIRE!

We paired our pasture-raised tallow with warming herbs like ROSEMARY & LAVENDER, known to increase blood flow. We added CASTOR OIL to stimulate lymphatic pathways.

It's a blend that cleanses your channels and resonates with your body's own natural heat.

Don't just lock in moisture after the cold. UNLOCK YOUR INNER FIRE before you even step outside!
