This whole journey started with unlabeled lip balm tubes stashed in every drawer and purse I owned. I was a crunchy lip balm-aholic, and Burt’s Bees used to be my go-to—until it got bought out by Clorox. That lit a fire under me to keep things clean, natural, and homemade. From there, I started dabbling in salves with herbs like calendula, ginger, and juniper berries. But things really shifted after a dermatology appointment where I was told a chemo cream was the best option for sun damage on my legs. I kindly declined and did what I do best: hyper-focused and researched until I found something better. That “something” was frankincense and tallow, with castor oil to carry it deep into the skin. Over the years, I’ve refined my formulas using frankincense resin instead of essential oil—and at my follow-up, that skin issue? Gone. My dermatologist called it “voodoo.” I call it grace. Because around here, we don’t deal in magic—we lean on the wisdom God already planted in His creation. I’m not here to make medical claims. I’m here to share what’s worked for me, and maybe help you simplify your routine with ingredients that actually serve your skin.
This ain’t a fancy lab—just a stand mixer, some stubborn curiosity, and a woman on a mission to ditch the junk and whip up the good stuff. If it looks like it was made in a kitchen… that’s because it was.
