The journey of "reroot" began with a simple visit to a local farm, where grass-fed, grass-finished cows roamed freely in their pastures. Witnessing their contentment and vitality, I was inspired to choose this farm for my beef, appreciating their commitment to regenerative farming practices.
As I discussed my order with the butcher, I opted to include the edible organs, bones, and particularly the suet, intrigued by the traditional uses of these parts. This decision marked a significant step in my journey toward embracing a more natural and ancestral approach to living, despite my unfamiliarity with such practices growing up.
My culinary background in the barbecue industry served me well, as I crafted delicious, nutrient-dense beef dishes with the grass-fed meat. However, my adventure took a turn when I ventured into rendering suet into tallow, a process I dedicated considerable time to perfecting. The result was a versatile, nutrient-rich tallow, reminiscent of the natural fats our ancestors utilized before the rise of processed oils.
The unexpected benefit of this endeavor was discovering tallow's remarkable skin-nourishing properties. After noticing a significant improvement in the eczema on my hands, I delved deeper into the benefits of tallow, learning about its compatibility with human skin and its rich nutrient profile.
Motivated by this discovery, I began creating tallow balms, refining the tallow to ensure purity and removing any residual scent. Sharing these balms with friends and family, I realized the potential to offer something truly beneficial, rooted in nature's wisdom.
Thus, "reroot" was born, out of a desire to reconnect with natural, ancestral practices and provide products that nurture both body and soul. We are excited to introduce our Naked Tallow Balm, a testament to our mission, with more all-natural products on the horizon.
We invite you to join us in "rerooting to natural" skincare. If there's a product you love and wish for a natural alternative, we're eager to hear your ideas.
Together, we can rediscover the wisdom of our ancestors, blended with the best of modern technology, for a healthier, more grounded life.
