When I first started TallowKind, a close friend said, “I’m going to try your products because I know how particular you are about what you use.” That meant so much to me because she knows I don’t just use things. I care deeply about ingredients, sourcing, and how they affect our bodies.
Just last week, while sitting at the park with two of my closest friends watching our kiddos play, we were chatting about all the things close friends can talk about. One of them laughed and said, “You’re so picky, but that’s not a bad thing.” She’s right. I am. Because I’ve learned that the little things matter.
Recently, while brainstorming Christmas products with another dear friend, an idea came up that was adorable — but it just didn’t align with my brand. She said, “I respect your opinion,” and that meant more than she probably realized. Staying true to convictions and being transparent in a world that often values trends over truth isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it.
TallowKind was never about keeping up with the Joneses. It was about paving our own path — the one less traveled. A path rooted in integrity, transparency, and care.
I’ve always been particular about skincare because I’ve lived through the side effects of products that weren’t made with women’s health in mind. I’ve used things that wrecked my hormones, damaged my skin barrier, and left me feeling embarrassed and defeated. I’ve walked the hard road of infertility and medical treatments, and I’ve seen firsthand the impact that toxic ingredients can have on our bodies.
That’s what pushed me to do better. Because once you know better, you can’t unknow it. And it’s not just for me anymore. It’s for my daughter, Tatum. For Rowan, my son. For every mama who wants her little ones to have access to safe, nourishing skincare that doesn’t come at the cost of their health.
We’re surrounded by toxins every single day — in our food, our environment, and our homes. If I can do one small thing to help lower that toxic load for my family and for yours, I will.
That’s what TallowKind stands for: clean, honest, handcrafted skincare made with total transparency and without compromise. Products you can feel good about using on yourself and the littlest members of your family.
Because you deserve that peace of mind.
Because your family deserves better.
And because doing better — for ourselves and each other — is what this whole journey is about.
