Render and Root

With The Settlement – I just got recognized as one of their top fans! 🎉

Today marked the end of an incredible chapter, and my heart is incredibly full.
​To the organizers of The Settlement: thank you from the bottom of my soul for welcoming Render & Root into your beautiful space today. The energy, the community, and the absolute vibe you built in Cleveland was nothing short of magical.
​A lot of sweat and tears go into creating something this special, and it showed in every single detail. You didn’t just host an event; you built a family of makers, artisans, and shoppers who believe in quality and community.
​While we are deeply saddened to see this chapter close, we are profoundly grateful to have been a part of today's final market. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, shared their stories, and supported our homestead-to-face vision.
​To The Settlement crew—thank you for giving small businesses like ours a place to shine. We’ll definitely keep our eyes open for whatever surprises you have next.
​May God truly bless you all on the next section of the trail. 🖤✨

🎪 TOMORROW! Craft & Vintage Market at The Settlement
​The big day is here, Cleveland! Tomorrow, May 30th, Render & Root is setting up at the beautiful Settlement venue from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Forget mass-produced store brands full of chemical fillers. Come experience luxury, "homestead-to-face" skincare crafted right here in Bradley County.
​We slow-infuse organic botanicals into grass-fed beef tallow for a full 48 hours. Because tallow is biologically identical to your skin's natural oils, it absorbs beautifully for a weightless, silky finish—it takes just a moment to sink in, leaving a deep, non-greasy glow with absolutely no beefy smell.
​To achieve this premier luxury texture, we enrich our formulas with a powerful lineup of premium, deeply therapeutic oils:
​Golden Jojoba Oil: Matches your skin's natural pH to balance oil production.
​Rosehip Seed Oil: Nature's retinol, packed with Vitamin C to brighten and repair.
​Argan Oil & Vitamin E: Deeply restorative antioxidants that heal skin cells.
​Raw Shea Butter & Pure Beeswax: To lock in moisture while creating a breathable, protective barrier.
​Food-Grade Emu Oil: Delivering unmatched, deep-penetrating cellular repair.
​🌟 THE MARKET SPECIALS
​The Duo Bundle: Mix and match any two of our 2oz daily skin balms or specialty items—2 jars for $35!
​The Sovereign ($25): Our flagship biological face restorer. Hand-whipped with a 48-hour infusion of Gotu Kola, Calendula, and Chamomile, deeply enriched with Frankincense, Lavender, Golden Jojoba Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, and raw Shea Butter to target deep wrinkles and advanced skin repair. (Note: Due to high demand, The Sovereign is excluded from the Duo bundle—grab yours early!).
​🌿 LUXURY FACE & SKINCARE
​Southern Rose Face & Skin Balm: A stunning daily balm, deeply enriched with premium Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, and Rosehip Seed Oil for a beautifully radiant, luxurious glow.
​Botanical Bare: Our pure, essential-oil-free daily face and skin balm. Slow-infused with Bay Leaves, Rosemary, and Calendula for clean, versatile hydration.
​Lavender Face & Skin Balm: Deep daily hydration infused with a slow botanical infusion of Bay Leaf, Calendula, Rosemary, and Clove, rounded out with premium Lavender and Frankincense oils for a timeless complexion.
​Specialty Infused Lip Balms: Premium, 48-hour slow-infused lip restorers packed with Calendula and Chamomile. Available in a refreshing Pineapple, Peppermint, and Lavender Lemon blend designed to completely lock in moisture without that heavy, waxy buildup.
​🛠️ HARD-HEALING REPAIR & REMEDIES
​The Cultivator: Our rugged gardener's salve. Built specifically with heavy-hitting botanicals, Frankincense, and Lavender to soothe rough hands, scratches, and stubborn skin irritation from working the soil.
​The Appalachian Remedy Sting & Bite Balm: Got torn up by a bug bite, bee sting, or briar on the trail? This heavy-hitting specialty balm cools inflammation and targets immediate skin repair on contact.
​🧔 PREMIUM MEN'S GROOMING
​The Woodsman (Beard Balm): Our signature beard balm crafted with a slow infusion of Calendula Flower alongside Argan, Jojoba, and Fractionated Coconut oils. Scented with Sandalwood and Cedarwood for a professional beard hold that treats dry "behind the beard" skin.
​🐾 100% ORGANIC PET CARE
​Hound Heal (Dog Lick): Our 100% organic, lick-safe pet salve formulated with food-grade Emu oil, RAW honey, and infused German Chamomile and Calendula Flower for dry paws, snouts, and hot spots. No essential oils, completely safe if licked!

THE SCAR THAT PROVED IT
​They cut the cancer out. This is how I brought my skin back to life.
​Look at the difference in these photos. The first is the raw, angry texture left behind on my leg after surgery. The second is my skin beautifully calmed, smoothed, and restored.
​I didn't use lab-made chemical creams or liquid plastics to fake a smooth layer on top of my scar. I used our own Sovereign Face & Skin Restorer.
​Because our grass-fed tallow is biologically identical to your skin’s own oils, it doesn't just sit on top. It absorbs deeply to deliver real, cellular repair. It takes just a moment to sink in, leaving a weightless, silky finish that completely changes how your skin heals.
​🌿 COME SEE THE REVEAL IN PERSON!
​Don't just take my word for it. Come feel the weightless texture for yourself this weekend. I will have our full apothecary line fully stocked, including The Sovereign, The Woodsman, and Hound Heal.
​Where: Craft & Vintage at The Settlement (693 Kinser Rd, Cleveland, TN)
​When: Saturday, May 30th | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
​The Event Special: Mix and match your favorites with The Duo Special—get any two 2oz jars for just $35!

Is your face cream a byproduct of the oil industry? 🛢️
​I was shocked when I found this out, and I bet you will be too. Research shows that nearly 80% of department store face creams are loaded with petroleum-based ingredients.
​Ever see "Mineral Oil" or "Petrolatum" on a label? That is literally a liquid byproduct of refining crude oil. It’s the same stuff used for motor oil, just refined for a fancy jar.
​The Problem: It sits on top of your skin like plastic wrap. It feels smooth for a second, but it provides zero nutrition. It’s just a cheap filler.
​The Render & Root Difference: We do things the "slow" way. Our 48-hour botanical infusions use grass-fed tallow because it is biologically identical to your skin’s own oils. It doesn't just sit there—it's invited in.
​Stop paying for the oil industry. Start feeding your skin.
​✨ Neighborly Tip: Check your labels today. If you see Mineral Oil, your skin isn't breathing.
​

THE $120 INDUSTRY SCANDAL. 🤫🩹
​I’ve been quiet for a week for a reason. I’ve been in the lab perfecting a "Liquid Gold" breakthrough that the big department store brands hope you never find out about.
​Most "luxury" creams are just $120 plastic wrap. They sit on top of your skin, suffocating your pores. I’m done with the lies.
​THE REVEAL IS COMING. I am finalizing everything now. When we go live, we are celebrating the truth by giving away FOUR (4) full-sized jars of The Sovereign plus a Special Mystery Gift I’ve been testing in the lab.
​WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO KNOW?
​Type "TRUTH" in the comments.
​Share this post. (If you have a friend who needs to stop suffocating their skin—or someone who loves a luxury giveaway—let them know this is coming!)
​Keep your eyes on this page. The "Settlement" begins soon...
