Collection: About Us

Hi there, I’m Taylor—founder of Little Tallow Co.

Our journey to tallow started out of love and necessity. One of our children was struggling with chronic eczema, and like so many parents, I spent countless hours (and dollars) trying to find something—anything—that would actually help. We tried every clean, “safe” product on the shelf, but nothing truly worked. His skin was still dry, inflamed, and reactive, and I was tired of feeling defeated and discouraged.

That’s when I stumbled across something that felt almost too simple: tallow.

Rooted in tradition and used for generations, tallow is rich in nutrients, gentle on sensitive skin, and surprisingly powerful. I began making small batches of balm in my kitchen, not expecting much—until I saw real, lasting change in my son’s skin. It began to calm, soften, and heal in a way I hadn’t seen before.

That moment changed everything.

I started making it for other family members. Then friends. And before long, I realized this wasn’t just about us anymore. There are so many families out there who are trying to navigate sensitive skin, allergies, and the overwhelm of ingredient labels they can’t trust.

So we built Little Tallow Co. with a simple mission:

To create safe, nourishing, truly natural skincare for families—without the overwhelm.

Every product we make is handcrafted in small batches using 100% grass-fed and finished tallow from regenerative farms in Pennsylvania. We source with care, formulate with intention, and never add anything we wouldn’t use on our own children.

Our hope is that when you open a jar from us, you feel not just relief for your skin—but trust. That someone’s been there. That someone cared enough to make it by hand. That someone understands.

Our balm isn’t just made with good ingredients—it’s made with intention, care, and a whole lot of heart.

At the core of every jar is pure, rendered beef tallow—an ancestral skincare staple that’s deeply nourishing and incredibly effective. Tallow naturally contains skin-loving vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as essential fatty acids that help moisturize, soothe, and restore the skin’s barrier. It mimics the natural structure of our skin’s own oils, which is why it absorbs so beautifully and works so well for even the most sensitive skin.

We source our tallow locally here in Pennsylvania from a regenerative farm that’s passionate about ethical, sustainable practices. Their cattle are 100% grass-fed and finished, raised humanely on open pasture, and never exposed to hormones, antibiotics, GMOs, or soy. It’s a difference you can feel—and one we’re proud to stand behind.

We’re a small family-run business, and we bring a personal touch to every part of what we do—from the moment your order is placed to the day it ships out. On any given day, you’ll find me hand-pouring balms at our kitchen table, my daughter proudly sticking labels onto balms, my son helping me cut bars of soap, and my husband packing orders with care. It’s a little chaotic and very real—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

We answer every customer email ourselves, and we make our products in small batches to ensure they’re fresh, effective, and made with attention to every detail.

Our hope is that when your order arrives, you feel not just relief for your skin—but the warmth and love that went into making it.

From our family to yours—thank you for being here.
