The Journey Behind Tallow Vera
About the founder
Hi! I'm Erin
In 2018, I suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spent two years at home recovering. Recovery consisted of a strict, brain-healthy diet, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and making the switch to clean products.
My HBOT doctor educated me about the effects of harmful ingredients, and I immediately did away with my skincare and personal care products.
Unfortunately, this left me with limited options that I felt comfortable applying to myself, as my body and recovery were vulnerable.
A family member learned about tallow, so I decided to make it and give it a try. I was immediately hooked!
However, we quickly realized that many tallow balms were often very smelly (like a hamburger), gritty, and had an unpleasant application.
We set out on a mission to create the best balm possible, avoiding a beefy smell, gritty texture, and unpleasant application. Our drive to create the best balm comes from our care for you. Nothing is more frustrating than a company that doesn’t care, and it shows in their products. How you do one thing is how you do everything!
My journey has been far from short and easy, but I wouldn’t trade my learning for anything!
Thank you for being here and supporting us at Tallow Vera!
All the best,
Erin & Dallin
