Born in a small town in the Northwest Territories and later raised on a remote Caribbean island, I spent my early years immersed in the rhythms of nature and the beauty of simple living. After moving to Victoria, BC to pursue post-secondary studies, I carried with me not just those early lessons in resourcefulness, but also a long-standing struggle with dry, sensitive skin—something I often ignored, believing it was just part of life.

It wasn’t until my second daughter was born and began showing signs of eczema within her first few months that I truly started searching for answers. I knew I had to be her advocate in a way I hadn’t been for myself. That search led me to something both surprising and timeless: beef tallow.

After incorporating tallow into her skincare routine, her eczema cleared up quickly and has never returned. Encouraged by her results, I tried it myself—and for the first time in years, my skin felt calm, nourished, and truly healthy.

As I continued to learn, I was amazed to discover that tallow’s story stretched far beyond skincare. For centuries, it has been cherished across cultures—for cooking, candle-making, crafting, and countless practical uses. What began as a simple solution for my daughter grew into a deep respect for this traditional, sustainable ingredient and the resourceful way of life it represents.

Working with tallow connected me back to a slower, more intentional way of life—one that honours traditional wisdom, reduces waste, and celebrates the full use of what nature provides. Today, I’m proud to share that philosophy through products made with care, respect, and purpose.
