The Journey Behind
Tallow Vera.
Tallow Vera wasn't born from a business plan. It was born from a health crisis, a doctor's advice, and a refusal to settle for skincare that didn't meet our standards.
Hi, I'm Erin.
And this is how it started.
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 very limited options that I felt comfortable applying to myself — my body and recovery were vulnerable.
A family member told me
about tallow.
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 knew tallow was the answer, but the execution was falling short everywhere we looked.
We set out to create
the best balm possible.
We set out on a mission to create the best balm possible, avoiding a beefy smell, gritty texture, and unpleasant application. Our drive 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. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, every single batch.
My journey has been far
from easy. But I wouldn't
trade it for anything.
That experience taught me exactly what your skin needs — and exactly what it doesn't. Every product we make comes from a place of genuine care, because we've lived the frustration of not having better options.
Thank you for being here and supporting us at Tallow Vera. It means everything to us.
