From the founders of Tallow Vera

Meet True Friend.
Care without compromise.

You already trust us with your skincare. We want to introduce you to the brand we built for everything else — deodorant, soap, and body care made with the exact same zero-compromise standards.

Same founders
Same values
Same zero-synthetic standard
Handmade in Cleveland
Why We Built True Friend

Tallow Vera was for your face.
True Friend is for the rest of you.

After Erin's TBI recovery, she didn't just question what was going on her face. She started looking at everything — the deodorant she used every single day, the soap bar in the shower, every product her skin absorbed without a second thought.

What she found frustrated her the same way the skincare industry did. So she built the answer. True Friend is that answer for body care — the same refusal to use anything synthetic, harmful, or dishonest, applied to the products most people have never thought to question.

"If I wouldn't put it on my skin during recovery, I wouldn't put it in a product. That's the entire standard — for both brands."

What Both Brands Share

Same founders.
Same unbreakable standards.

Zero Synthetics
No synthetic fragrances, dyes, or preservatives. In any product. From either brand. Ever.
Full Transparency
Every ingredient disclosed. Every choice explained. No "fragrance" hiding chemicals you didn't agree to.
Family-Made
Erin & Dallin make everything themselves in Cleveland. Small batches. Hands-on. No shortcuts.
You Truly Matter
Not as a customer — as a person. Every product starts with the same question: would we give this to someone we love?
A Note From Erin

You trusted us with your skin.
We don't take that lightly.

When I was recovering from my TBI, I didn't just overhaul my skincare. I started looking at everything touching my body — and I found the same problems everywhere. Products designed to make money, not to actually care for people.

True Friend is what I built to answer that. Not just for the face — for the deodorant you use every single morning, the soap bar in your shower, the products your whole body absorbs without you thinking twice.

If you trust Tallow Vera, I hope you'll give True Friend the same chance. Same refusal to cut corners. Same promise to tell you exactly what's in it and why. Same belief that you deserve better than what the industry has been giving you.

— Erin, Tallow Vera & True Friend Co.
