“I’m a nurse. I’ve seen what goes into most products — and that’s exactly why I wanted to create something different.”

Most Lip Balms Make You Reapply All Day. This One Sinks In
Petroleum-based balms sit on top of your lips and wear off fast — so you're reapplying every twenty minutes. Tallow is different. Rich in the same fatty acids your skin already makes, it absorbs and actually conditions your lips instead of just glossing over them.
Smooth, never waxy. Moisture that lasts past your next coffee.
Made by a Nurse. Tested on Her Family First.
Aly didn’t start Waymaker Essentials because she loved skincare. She started it because she was tired of reading ingredient labels filled with things she couldn’t recognize or trust.
As a nurse and mom, she wanted something simpler — ingredients she felt confident using on herself and her family. So she started making her own.
Grass-fed tallow. Arrowroot powder. USDA-certified organic ingredients. Nothing unnecessary.
Every jar is still handcrafted in small batches in Minnesota.

I’ve heard so much about the health benefits of beef tallow and I prefer to use natural products on my dry skin. So when I found these products at a Farmer’s Market I knew I had to try it. The lotion is dreamy! Smells wonderful and absorbs quickly. I will be coming back to buy more for sure.

I have had two orders of this wonderful product - the lavender scent & the tea tree scent! Both are amazing smells, & so calming!! The texture is unreal! I have never felt something from the store as fluffy as this whipped tallow butter & even better, no artificial ingredients or harsh chemicals. A little goes a long way, so definitely priced to value. I would recommend this to everyone, & will be a life-long customer!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it smell or taste like beef?
Definitely not! This is one of the most common questions we receive. Our tallow is carefully rendered and blended with organic jojoba oil, giving it a very subtle, natural scent. Not a beefy smell or taste.
Is it safe to ingest?
Yes. It's made from natural, organic ingredients, with no petroleum or synthetic flavoring.
Can I mix and match the scents?
Yes! Choose the Variety Pack for one of each, or stick to a single favorite.
Is it good for very chapped or winter lips?
Yes. Tallow nourishes deeply, so it's a favorite for dry, cracked winter lips, kids included.
