around 2005, i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and spent years on medication for it. i knew i didn’t want to rely on prescription meds for the rest of my life, so i was determined to heal holistically. part of that healing opened my eyes to the toxins in personal care products. i had spent years as an esthetician and skincare junkie, using so many harmful products daily.

once i started researching and learning about what toxins i was exposed to daily in skincare, i started using “natural” and “organic” products. i began to realize that even those are often not what they seem and are greenwashed. in my pursuit of truly clean skincare, i discovered tallow and recalled learning about it’s use as ancient skincare in esthetics school.

i began making it at home myself years ago because i couldn’t find tallow skincare that met my standards. with the encouragement of my daughter, emerson, drift was eventually born in 2023. together, we run drift tallow co. i formulate and handcraft our products, and she does our photography and backend work. we both get our hands dirty keeping up with production. it’s a labor of love! i never could’ve imagined in 2023 that this would become my full time job, and i thank God for it every day.
