Common Inquiries & Curious Concerns

  • 🐄 Tallow
    Ah, the journey to secure the finest suet for our esteemed tallow is truly a magical endeavor. We embark on a picturesque expedition to a neighboring county where we have the pleasure of meeting the charming farmers and bestowing affection upon their delightful animals. Our discerning quest for quality leads us to utilize only the most exquisite grass-fed, grass-finished beef suet.

    🐝 Honey & Beeswax
    All things bee come from our endearing partners nestled in the heart of Fort Meade.

    🐐 Goat Milk
    Our fresh goat milk is sourced from a charming little farm nestled in Parrish, FL. Take a moment to envision the picturesque setting as they regale you with the heartwarming tales of each goat, all of whom have their own name and unique story, and are embraced with boundless affection.

    🥚 Eggs
    Behold, our splendid array of egg suppliers! We are blessed to work with a variety of purveyors, each adorning us with their finest, freshest butt nuggets. Our esteemed suppliers hail from the enchanting lands of DeSoto and Highlands County, alongside revered family farms that partake in the “Certified Humane Raised & Handled" program.

    Butter & Buttermilk
    Alas, we can claim credit only for the delicious buttermilk, whipped cream, and butter that springs forth from the magical elixir we obtain - not the cream itself. Our land does not host any cows, but fear not! We source our dairy from local, quaint family farms where jovial cows graze on lush pastures and enjoy the luxury of back scratchers! These wondrous creatures are raised without the interference of hormones, antibiotics, or harsh pesticides.

    Vanilla Extract
    Made right here at the apothecary. We carefully immerse the finest (whole) Madagascar vanilla beans in velvety bourbon for a minimum of 6 months, but often extending to a year or more.

  • ▪️ Tallow is the final form of an all-natural, highly nourishing animal suet which gets whipped to a smooth cream.
    ▪️ Brimming with wholesome elements, it bestows a multitude of benefits upon your precious skin.
    ▪️ Our pure tallow exudes a gentle, earthy essence, reminiscent of the natural world. Fear not, for our tallow is rendered and filtered to remove impurities and to help reduce (or almost eliminate) the earthy scent.

    As nature intended, our tallow contains no preservatives or stabilizers. As such, we encourage you to safeguard its properties by storing it in a cool place, away from the warmth of the sun's loving embrace.

    Tallow & Weather:
    Always remember the wisdom of the ancients: “Tallow is as sensitive to the warmth of the sun as we are to a friendly smile." In the dance of time and transit, if your tallow arrives in a softened state, fear not! Tallow is a stable fat, simply place it in the cool embrace of the icebox for a few hours, and it shall return to its solid form. You may even work some magic with a hand mixer to restore its wondrous whipped shape. Let not a moment of wonder be lost, for tallow is a sturdy companion on the journey of life.

  • Ah, yes. The near colorless soap bars! While there are quite a few natural colorants for artisanal soaps, we prefer to leave these luscious bars in their natural state.

    As we broaden our selection of soaps, we shall employ colorants derived from naturally occurring bases, such as vegetable powders.

    It's important for us keep ingredients as simple and natural as possible.
    That's why you won't find synthetic fragrances, dyes, titanium dioxide, or “melt and pour" bases here.
