🤍 IT’S OKAY TO BE BASIC.

Sometimes you don’t need the extra botanicals.

You don’t need added scent.

You don’t need a complicated ingredient list.

You just need a really good cream.

Meet the Classic Tallow Cream — my OG tallow cream recipe and probably the best example of why “basic” doesn’t have to mean boring.

It’s made with:

🥩 Beef tallow
🫒 Organic extra virgin olive oil
🌿 Organic castor oil
🐝 Beeswax
✨ Vitamin E

That’s it.

Simple ingredients. Beautiful texture. Rich, creamy feel.

This is the cream I reach for when I want something straightforward and unscented for dry hands, elbows, knees, heels, cuticles, or anywhere that could use a little extra conditioning.

And because it’s anhydrous, there’s no added water in the formula.

That gives it a richer, more concentrated feel than my Everyday Lotion.

No botanical infusion.

No fragrance.

No extra fuss.

Just my original tallow cream doing exactly what it was made to do. 💚

So yes…

It’s okay to be basic.

Especially when basic looks and feels this good. 😂

👀 Remember that possible Monday evening market I teased last week?

It’s OFFICIAL. 🌿

KJLS Tallow Co. will be at the Monday Night Market at Yellow Dog Urban Farm TONIGHT!

This one is a little different from my usual weekend markets — it’s a short evening event at an actual urban farm, with fresh vegetables and herbs grown onsite along with local vendors. 💚

Because it’s only a two-hour market, I’ll be bringing a curated KJLS display rather than the full market setup — a selection of favorites, seasonal items and easy restock picks.

🌿 Monday Night Market
📍 Yellow Dog Café Yellow Dog Urban Farm
950 US-1, Malabar, FL 32950
⏰ 6 PM–8 PM TONIGHT

So if your Monday could use a little local shopping, come out, wander the farm, shop some local vendors and stop by to see what made tonight’s KJLS lineup. 👀🌿

Two hours, local vendors, locally grown produce and a Monday night that’s a little more interesting than wondering how it’s already Monday again. 😂

Come say hi! 💚

🌼 BEYOND THE LABEL: CALENDULA INFUSED CREAM

Calendula is one of those plants that has been used topically for generations — and there’s a reason it continues to show up in skincare today.

My Calendula Cream starts with Calendula officinalis flowers slowly infused into organic extra virgin olive oil.

That infused oil then becomes part of a rich, anhydrous tallow cream made to help soften, condition and protect dry skin.

So what might Calendula Cream be especially nice for?

🌼 Dry or rough hands
🌼 Elbows and knees
🌼 Heels and feet
🌼 Cuticles
🌼 Skin that feels dry or weather-exposed
🌼 Anywhere you want a richer, more protective moisturizer

Calendula itself has also been the subject of quite a bit of research.

Different calendula extracts have been studied for their effects on skin and the biological processes involved in irritation, tissue repair and healing.

BUT — and this distinction matters —

Those studies used specific calendula extracts and preparations.

They did not test my calendula-infused olive oil or my finished Calendula Cream.

So I’m not going to tell you this jar heals wounds, treats inflammation or fixes a skin condition.

What I CAN tell you is why I chose calendula:

It has a long history of topical use, fascinating research behind the plant itself, and it pairs beautifully with the rich, conditioning ingredients I already love using in tallow skincare.

The finished cream is simple, rich and made for skin that needs a little extra love. 🌼💚

And sometimes… those are exactly the products I reach for most.

🌧️ TODAY’S NIGHT OWL OUTDOOR MARKET HAS BEEN CANCELLED

Unfortunately, the rain and wind had other plans for us this morning. 😕

Today was supposed to be the kickoff of the monthly outdoor markets at Night Owl Coffee Bar, but due to the weather conditions, the market portion of today’s event has been cancelled.

Night Owl Coffee Bar is still open, so you can absolutely still stop in for coffee. ☕💚
There just won’t be vendors set up outside today.

I’m disappointed we won’t get to kick off the market season together this morning, but Florida weather wins this round. 🌧️💨

I’ll share details for the next Night Owl market as soon as they’re available.

Stay dry and safe today, everyone — and if you’re nearby, you can still go support Night Owl and grab yourself a coffee. ☕

Just a little Friday reminder that you don’t have to wait for the next market to restock your KJLS favorites. 💚

Soap running low?

Almost out of lotion?

Need another lip balm because the last one somehow disappeared into a purse, car or nightstand? 😂

You can order online anytime, and local Sebastian pickup is available if you’re nearby.

Markets are a big part of how I get to meet so many of you, but the website is always there between events.

And with holiday season officially creeping closer...

Now is also a pretty good time to start thinking about the people on your list who would rather get something handmade and useful than another random gift they have to find a place for. 🎁🌿

Restock yourself.

Start a gift.

Or do both. I won’t judge. 😂

🧴 LOTION LAB: Why does my lotion contain a preservative?

Because it contains water.

Anytime you combine water with ingredients like tallow, oils and glycerin, you create a product that can potentially support the growth of bacteria, yeast and mold.

So preservation isn’t an ingredient category I’m willing to skip.

I use a broad-spectrum preservative system that complies with ECOCERT and COSMOS standards — standards commonly used for natural and organic cosmetic formulation. 🌿

That choice allows me to formulate the lightweight, water-based lotion I wanted while still keeping preservation and product safety at the forefront.

And this is one of those areas where I think the word “preservative” gets an unfairly bad reputation.

A preservative isn’t there because I’m trying to fill the bottle with unnecessary ingredients.

It’s there because the formula contains water, and protecting that formula from microbial growth is part of making a responsible skincare product.

Natural-minded formulation doesn’t mean leaving out ingredients that serve an important safety function.

It means understanding what each ingredient does, choosing it intentionally, and using it appropriately. 💚

🧼 The little product that keeps making people stop and look...

The Soap Saver Stacks have definitely been getting attention at my fall markets. 👀

Each one is made from the ends left behind when I cut full soap loaves, paired with a soap saver bag so those perfectly good pieces of handmade soap can still be enjoyed.

And each stack contains ONE soap variety.

Sandalwood stays Sandalwood.

Lavender stays Lavender.

Unscented stays Unscented.

No mystery soap combinations hiding in there. 😂

The reason you don’t see these available all year is pretty simple:

I only accumulate enough soap ends when I’m making a LOT of soap loaves.

And fall is when that happens.

Between markets, holiday inventory and restocking, soap production ramps up enough that I finally have enough ends to turn them into Soap Saver Stacks.

Once the current supply is gone, I likely won’t have enough soap ends to make more until next fall.

So if one caught your eye at a recent market...

This is one of those “grab it while it exists” products. 🍂🧼
