My Neighbor’s Tallow: A Skincare Revolution Rooted in Tradition

At Margot’s Mercantile, we’re always on the lookout for products that align with our mission to offer meaningful, high-quality items that nourish both body and soul. That’s why we’re thrilled to offer Tallow Skincare from My Neighbor’s Tallow, a local Hudson Valley brand that’s redefining how we care for our skin.

Tallow has been cherished for centuries as a natural skincare remedy, and for good reason. It’s one of the most effective moisturizers available, thanks to its unique compatibility with human skin. Composed of essential fatty acids and packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow deeply nourishes and hydrates, leaving skin soft, radiant, and healthy. Its composition is nearly identical to the oils (sebum) our skin naturally produces, making it ideal for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, or acne-prone skin.

At My Neighbor’s Tallow, the secret lies in the sourcing. Their tallow comes from grass-fed and finished cattle raised on regenerative farms in the Hudson Valley. This ethical and sustainable approach ensures the highest quality Tallow Skincare product while supporting local farmers and healthier ecosystems. Less than 1% of livestock in the U.S. are grass-fed and finished, making My Neighbor’s Tallow a rare gem in the skincare world.

My Neighbor’s Tallow was founded by Harri, a mother who left the fast-paced world of Wall Street to settle in the Hudson Valley. Inspired by the area’s rich farming heritage, Harri sought a natural solution for her daughter Wilhelmina’s eczema. She discovered the transformative power of tallow skincare, and her journey to create simple, effective skincare began. Today, My Neighbor’s Tallow is a female-founded, mother-owned business rooted in sustainability, tradition, and community.

As someone who values simple, effective skincare, I’ve been amazed by My Neighbor’s Tallow. It’s become a staple for my entire family. I use it on my face and body, as does my husband, and we’ve seen incredible results. Most notably, my daughter’s keratosis pilaris has significantly improved since we started using it. At 44, I’ve stopped using all other skincare brands, and my skin has never felt better. This is a product I genuinely believe in, and I’m thrilled to share it with you.

Each jar of My Neighbor’s Tallow balm is handcrafted in small batches using a traditional dry-rendering process that preserves the full skin-nourishing potential of the tallow. The brand incorporates locally sourced botanicals like Hudson-grown calendula and foraged nettle, creating products that are as nourishing as they are sustainable. From the lush fields of the Hudson Valley to your home, every step reflects a commitment to purity, quality, and environmental stewardship.

Tallow skincare has roots in ancient civilizations, from the Greeks to the Egyptians. My Neighbor’s Tallow honors this legacy by blending ancestral wisdom with modern sustainability. Their products reflect a fusion of time-tested ingredients and innovative practices, offering a simple yet powerful approach to skincare.

At Margot’s Mercantile, we’re passionate about introducing products that resonate with our values and enhance the lives of our customers. My Neighbor’s Tallow is more than just skincare—it’s a return to nature, a celebration of local craftsmanship, and a commitment to sustainable living. By supporting this brand, you’re not only caring for your skin but also contributing to a healthier planet and a stronger community.

We’re excited to bring My Neighbor’s Tallow to our shelves and to share this incredible product with you. Stop by Margot’s Mercantile to experience the transformative power of tallow skincare for yourself. Together, let’s embrace the beauty of simplicity and the wisdom of nature.
