Under the Lid: Tallow 🐮

This is where it all starts.
Grass-fed + finished local tallow: rich in vitamins A, D, E + K and made to match your skin’s biology.

It locks in moisture, calms irritation, and actually absorbs.

We use it because it works.
Simple as that.

✨This sweet little one’s skin transformed in just one week using our Unscented Whipped Tallow. ✨

Mama had reached out and let us know she made a few simple shifts in her diet — and paired them with our nourishing tallow to support her daughter’s dry, inflamed skin.
⁣
Now? Her skin feels softer, less reactive, and visibly calmer.⁣

Because healing doesn’t always come from a pharmacy — sometimes, it starts with food, fat, and a little intuition.

The sun isn’t your enemy.
But your sunscreen, your diet, and your habits? They might be.

We were designed to live with the sun.
Morning light tells your body it’s safe. It sets your hormones, boosts your mood, kicks off vitamin D production.

And yet we’re taught to fear it.

Here’s what’s really going on:
Your diet is full of seed oils + sugar → hello inflammation + skin sensitivity
You wear sunglasses all day → your body can’t trigger melanin, your natural UV defence
You use chemical sunscreens → absorbed into your bloodstream, messing with your hormones

Let’s flip the script.

Protect your skin the right way:
→ Get early sun without SPF or sunglasses — 10–15 min of real light sets your rhythm
→ Eat antioxidants and healthy fats — your internal sunscreen
→ Cover up when needed — hats, shade, breathable clothing
→ Use mineral-based protection — zinc oxide that sits on your skin and reflects UV

That’s why we made Sunbound, a mineral-based sun balm with non-nano zinc oxide, grass-fed tallow, and herbal-infused oils. Just real protection rooted in nature.

Because sun care should support your body, not silence it.

Please note: We believe in honest skincare. This is a cosmetic product, not a drug. SPF is estimated, not lab-tested. Use common sense in the sun—shade, hats, hydration.

Here’s what I use on the daily*
And by daily, I mean the days I actually wear mascara.

I try to keep my beauty products as clean as my skincare. While they’re not perfect, my go-to’s are always the Thrive Causemetics Brow Fix and ILIA’s volumizing mascara.

Another staple? Dr. Bronner’s Unscented Castile Soap. I mix a few drops with water to gently remove makeup or freshen up post-workout—then it’s straight into a layer of our unscented whipped tallow.

I really do stick to the less is more approach—and my skin’s been better for it.

Most people have no idea what tallow is — but your skin does.

It’s not a trend. It’s not watered down.
It’s a whole ingredient your skin recognizes — rich in fat-soluble vitamins, deeply absorbable, and free from the fillers most moisturizers rely on.

Tallow has been used for generations to heal, soothe, and protect. At Bare Bones, we bring that tradition forward — blending slow-rendered, grass-fed + finished tallow with purposefully chosen oils and herbs. No fluff, just function.

👉 Swipe through to learn why this ancestral fat belongs on your skin.

Years of hormonal birth control, processed food, and constant stress. Poor sleep, blood sugar crashes, and a gut that couldn’t keep up.
Layered on top of that? A bathroom full of products packed with fragrance, alcohols, parabens, sulfates, and promises they couldn’t keep.

My body was begging for something different—and my skin was the first to show it. Breakouts, inflammation, sensitivity… it became the norm.
I felt like I was always trying to fix something I didn’t fully understand.

I kept putting my trust in products and people who didn’t know better—only to be left disappointed and inflamed.
It was exhausting to feel uncomfortable in my own skin.

Eventually, I stripped it all back. I started using unscented, natural soap to wash my face. I paid attention to what I was eating. And I stopped chasing complicated routines.

Eventually I stumbled across tallow.
A whole ingredient—rich in fat-soluble vitamins, bioavailable nutrients, and a kind of ancestral wisdom my skin recognized immediately.
It wasn’t trendy. It wasn’t the norm. But it worked.

I trusted the fat—and for the first time in a long time, my skin finally felt at home.

You’ve been warned—this road leads to softer, calmer, better-fed skin.

Tallow is rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and shares a similar biology to our own skin’s natural oils. That means better absorption, deeper nourishment, and long-lasting moisture—without the fillers, fragrances, or fluff.

Whether you’re new to tallow or just taking a different route, we’re glad you’re here.
Stay steady. Trust the tallow.

Bare Bones Summer Mix: “Touch Grass” 💿

Rebrand rule #1:
It had to feel like something.
Not trendy. Not polished. Just real.

Like stepping out after months of grey.
Bare feet. Cold grass. East Coast air that wakes you up.

This mix hits the same.
So does the skincare.

No fluff. No filler. Just the good stuff.

Tallow lives in the sweet spot—passed down from generations, and passed around the group chat.
It’s old-world skincare making a modern comeback—not because it’s trendy, but because it works.

For generations, tallow was a household essential—used not just for skin, but for cooking, candles, and salves. It was rendered low and slow, shared between families, and made with a deep respect for the whole animal. Nothing wasted. Everything with purpose.

And that’s still the energy.
A return to simple, skin-loving care made in small batches with intention.
Still made by hand. Still shared by word-of-mouth.
Because some things never needed fixing—just remembering

Golden beginnings.
Before it’s whipped, poured, or balm-bound—it starts here.
