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

Most Moisturizers Coat Your Skin. This One Feeds It.
If your moisturizer disappears after 20 minutes and your skin feels dry again by noon — your skin isn’t broken. It’s overwhelmed.
Most lotions are made mostly of water. They sit on the surface, feel good for a moment, then fade away.
Tallow is different. It’s rich in fatty acids that closely match the natural oils your skin already produces, helping moisture absorb deeply instead of just coating the surface.
We also add arrowroot powder to every formula to help it absorb faster and feel lightweight on the skin — never greasy or heavy.

Made by a Nurse. Tested on Her Kids 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 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.
Won’t it feel greasy?
No. We add arrowroot powder to help our formulas absorb smoothly into the skin without leaving behind a heavy or oily feeling.
Will it clog my pores?
Our formulas are made with simple, skin-compatible ingredients designed to nourish without overwhelming the skin. Many customers with sensitive or dry skin love how balanced and breathable it feels.
Is it safe for kids?
We use gentle, USDA-certified organic ingredients and keep our formulas simple. Many families use our products daily, but we always recommend patch testing first for extra-sensitive skin.
Does the deodorant actually work?
Yes. It’s designed to neutralize odor naturally while still feeling gentle on the skin. No aluminum, no harsh chemicals, and no overpowering fragrance.
How long does everything last?
That depends on usage, but most customers find the bundle lasts quite a while with regular daily use. A little goes a long way.
