About
We don’t scent our products with fragrance or essential oils because we believe that our bodies’ natural scent is a reflection of our inner health.
We want to stand out in the beauty and skincare space by being a brand that chooses to enhance our skin’s natural aroma with products that are not overly scented. Our products are inspired by nature. We would rather smell like the forest, a wildflower or a spring rain because those ingredients are actually in the product. Scent is simply a beautiful addition and happy unintentional result to our products - especially the herbal infusions.
Inspired by Nature

Abby Thompson
FOUNDER, CEO & CREATOR
I’ve always had a passion for health and wellness. I received my Masters of Science degree in Recreational Therapy at Clemson University. After graduation, I started my own consulting business helping corporate workers and community members live a leisure-based and holistic lifestyle. I am also a yoga and fitness instructor, and I enjoy sharing my love of movement, mindfulness, and exercise with others.
I grew up with a love for nature. You could find me playing in the dirt near a creek, climbing trees, running through the grass barefoot, or collecting grasshoppers. Being a naturalist at heart, I started living a holistic, non-toxic lifestyle in college to naturally support my hormones and ADHD. This lifestyle carried over to my marriage, pregnancy, and motherhood.
When I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, I knew that I wanted to be home with my daughter full time. Fueled with a God-given passion to help others live holistically, I prayed for an opportunity that would allow me to continue to share the gifts God gave me.

Nic Thompson
COO, HUSBAND, & BIGGEST SUPPORTER
My name is Nic Thompson and I am native to Easley, SC.
Being raised in the woods or on the water, I formed a true romance with anything outdoors. Yes, I am a proud meat eater, but I truly fell in love with the animal. I am passionate about creating the best environments for our wildlife to thrive in and if you catch me nose down in my phone, I’m probably researching how to help even more. We all have a part to play so please always pick up that piece of trash, don’t stack rocks in the creek bed, and keep your wake boats on the main lake.
When I’m not in the woods hunting or on the lake fishing I’m helping homeowners take care of their greatest asset. Their HOME. I am a Project Manager for a local construction company, Cornerstone Construction, where our main focus is roofing, gutters, siding and a little bit of solar. I absolutely love my job and really helping people within our community keep up their curb-appeal with a working roof above their head.
When Abby approached me with the idea of tallow, I probably said something along the lines of “cow fat? really?”. Then I tried it. Needless to say I’m now a HUGE fan. I’ve always suffered with redness/itchiness on my face along with every male in my family. Once I started growing a beard it just got worse. Nothing ever truly helped me until Abby made her first batch of tallow. PTL.
Abby and I have always been big on a “nose to tail” belief when it comes to harvesting animals.
Everything has a use, just ask our ancestors.
The Nose to Tail Lifestyle
Abby and her husband Nic eat a nose to tail diet. Nic is a seasonal hunter. Abby and Nic believe in honoring the animal to its fullest capacity by eating the meat. They also love supporting local cow farms for bones to make bone broth and bone marrow whip. Abby started using beef tallow for cooking which naturally turned into using tallow for skincare as well. Abby started making her own tallow skincare at home because she quickly saw the benefits for herself, Nic, and her daughter and wanted others to find relief as well from acne, rashes, sunburn, and razor bumps (just to name a few of the conditions that Abby personally noticed benefits).
“As an active mother, I need a quick and simple skincare routine that works for me. I want to feel good about the ingredients in the products that I put on my skin while feeling beautiful and maintaining a natural glow. Tallow skincare has revolutionized my skin. I feel confident and beautiful everyday after I apply my products.” - Abby Thompson
Truth About Tallow
Tallow is animal fat that has been rendered and solid at room temperature. We use the organ fat in our skincare due to its fragrance, texture, and nutritional properties.
Using tallow for skincare is not a new fad, but an ancient tradition. We are proud to source our fat from local family farms in the Upstate of South Carolina who grass-feed and pasture-raise their cows.
Tallow is rich in amino acids that promote skin regeneration, hydration, antiaging and repair. It is also non-comedogenic and antimicrobial making it a great choice to enhance the natural beauty of your face.
