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

Your Face Doesn't Need More Products. It Needs the Right One.
If your skin feels tight after cleansing, flaky by the afternoon, or you've layered serum on cream on oil and still feel dry — the problem isn't that you're missing a step. It's that most of those products sit on the surface and evaporate.
Tallow is different. It's rich in the same fatty acids your skin naturally produces, so it absorbs the way nourishment is meant to — feeding the barrier instead of coating it.
We whip ours with arrowroot powder so it melts in light and matte, never heavy or shiny. Just calm, comfortable skin that stays soft past noon.

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
How do I use it?
Apply as you would any other type of lotion. Use as much or as little as needed. A little goes a long way.
Will it cause me to break out or clog my pores?
No. It's whipped with jojoba oil and arrowroot powder, which absorb easily. Many people with acne-prone skin use it daily, but everyone's skin is different, so we suggest patch-testing first.
Will it feel greasy on my skin?
No. A little melts in and absorbs within a minute, leaving skin soft and matte — not shiny.
Will it smell 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.
Is it safe for sensitive skin or kids?
Yes. We use simple, gentle ingredients. The unscented version is the best option for sensitive skin.
