    Restorative Tallow Alchemy

    Where Alchemy
    Meets the Keweenaw

    Nourishing tallow preparations forged upon the primordial, mineral-rich shores of Lake Superior, imbued with the enduring wisdom of medicinal mushrooms and potent healing herbs

    Justin at the Sovereign Skincare market table
    From the Founder

    Still Made by Hand

    I still render every batch by hand here in Calumet, on the shore of Lake Superior, and most weekends you'll find me at a folding table at a co-op or a market, not behind a screen. If something doesn't hold up to that kind of scrutiny, it doesn't go in the jar.

    I've been struggling with excessive dry skin from hardwater, and after only 2 days all my itching has gone away, returning my smoothness and hydration! This lotion is immediately healing through all of its yummy ingredients.

    I've tried every natural moisturizer out there and nothing comes close. My skin has never felt this balanced, it actually glows now. This is the only skincare I trust.

    The scent of this is amazing in the best ways possible. If you want to smell like a cocktail bar stud that sings like Sinatra and has the presence of Bond get this. Immediately.
