Made Here. Loved Everywhere.

The itching got so bad a few years ago I couldn't find anything to help so I stopped taking the medication that I needed to be on.
I tried so many different lotions, oils, soaps, didn't shave, cold bath... nothing helped. I was taking dry rags and rubbing my arms and legs after each shower for like 30 min because that's all that itched. It was awful!!
So glad I found something that helps and to have it be natural it such a bonus! You're doing good things!

Hands down the best sunscreen I've ever used on myself and my kiddos.
Elliot's skin is super sensitive and this tallow based sunscreen from Woods + Butter has been a life saver!
We spent 4 hours at the pool yesterday and neither kiddo had a sunburn! The sunscreen stick is also a game changer for littles.

Frequently asked questions

Tallow is rendered beef fat, and it’s one of the most nourishing ingredients you can put on your skin. Its fatty acid profile is very similar to our own skin’s natural oils, which helps it absorb easily and support the skin barrier instead of just sitting on top. I use grass-fed tallow because it’s rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K and has been used for generations as a simple, effective skin moisturizer — long before modern skincare got complicated.

I use both, depending on the product and the experience I’m creating. Essential oils are used when they make sense for the skin and purpose of the product, and fragrance oils are carefully chosen to be skin-safe and phthalate-free.

Every scent is selected intentionally, balancing clean ingredients with what customers actually want. Some people prefer lighter, more natural scents, while others love a stronger fragrance — and I aim to meet both while keeping a clean, nourishing, tallow-based product at the core.

Yes — many of my products were created because of sensitive skin struggles. That said, everyone’s skin is different. I always recommend doing a small patch test, especially for little ones or very sensitive skin.

A little goes a long way with tallow. Most customers find one jar lasts anywhere from 1–3 months depending on how often it’s used and where it’s applied. Many people use these products on their face with great results — just start with a small amount. If you’re acne-prone or new to tallow, ease into it and see how your skin responds.

Burn time depends on the size of the candle, but on average:

Small candles (about 8 oz): ~25–30 hours
Larger candles (about 14 oz): ~40–60+ hours

All candles are hand-poured in small batches using clean-burning wax blends and wood wicks, which create a cozy crackle and help provide a steady, even burn when properly cared for.

For best results, allow the candle to reach a full melt pool on the first burn and keep the wick trimmed.

My candles are made with clean ingredients and non-toxic, phthalate-free scents, but as with any candle, they should always be burned responsibly. Keep candles out of reach of little hands and curious noses, never leave them unattended, and always follow basic candle safety guidelines.

If you’re worried about kiddos or pets, wax warmer lights are a great option, and I also offer wax melts when available for a flame-free way to enjoy the scents.
