How One Woman Healed Her Face in a Week with Whipped Tallow: A Real Story of Recovery and Relief.
From trauma to transformation—how our handcrafted tallow helped soothe and heal after a beach accident in Kaua'i.
When I say our Rancher's Daughter Apothecary tallow is more than skincare, I mean it. Every jar is crafted with the intention to heal—deeply, naturally, and genuinely. And every now and then, a story comes along that reminds me exactly why I do this work.
A customer recently shared her experience after visiting Kaua‘i and purchasing our Whipped Tallow Face Cream at Minnie’s Mercantile. On the last day of her trip, she was slammed into the sand by a rogue wave at Brennecke’s Beach (nicknamed “Breakneck Beach” for a reason).
She suffered serious facial abrasions and was rushed to Wilcox Trauma Center, where she spent the day recovering from her injuries, including spinal trauma.
The next day, she flew back home to Idaho—bruised, battered, and burned from the sun. And that’s when her healing began.
“From that day, I started using the apothecary whipped tallow face cream. I used it several times a day as it was so soothing. I was able to rub off the sand scrapes and debris. Not only did it heal my face, it also stopped the skin peeling on my sunburned areas.”
Despite her sensitive skin and a history of eczema, she experienced only relief—no burning, no irritation, just deep, soothing recovery. Within a week, her skin was completely healed. She even shared before and after photos showing the difference (shared below, with permission).
“Within one week, my face was healed. Nothing short of miraculous. I’m 64, and this is by far the best product I have ever used.”
Stories like these aren’t rare with tallow—but they are sacred. Tallow is a time-honored remedy, full of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and essential fatty acids that nourish, protect, and regenerate the skin. Our whipped tallow is made in small batches from 100% grass-fed beef suet, right here on our family ranch in Kaua‘i. We don’t add anything synthetic or harsh—only natural, healing ingredients your body recognizes.
Whether you're dealing with sunburn, scrapes, eczema, dryness, or age-related skin changes, our tallow products are formulated to support your body’s own healing process. They are more than skincare—they’re skin food.
