I grew up on a ranch in the heart of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Mexico, living a non-traditional lifestyle that shaped who I am today. Homeschooled through sixth grade, I spent most of my childhood alongside horses, with Ginger, my miniature horse, being my closest companion. I eagerly anticipated the seasonal roundups, when I’d ride with the cowboys across the countryside to gather our cattle. We were self-sufficient, growing our own food and living off the land, raising and harvesting our own meat.

One of my most cherished memories is of the adobe homes we built ourselves. My siblings and I would stomp through mud, mixing clay and straw to create rectangular blocks that would sit for weeks to harden. Those blocks eventually became our homes, built with our own hands and hard work.

Ranching was more than just a way of life—it was a philosophy. My mom instilled in us the importance of caring for not only the animals but also the land that nurtured them. Her principles shaped everything, and they continue to guide me today.

In 2023, I launched my tallow skincare line, inspired by the same values I was raised with. I care deeply about how the animals are raised and where the other ingredients in my products come from. After we moved back to the U.S., my mom started a business focused on providing grass-fed, grass-finished meats to restaurants and hospitals, aiming to transform the way people think about food. Her business grew rapidly, and in 2020, she expanded to a ranch in Arizona, closer to Mexico, continuing the journey of sustainability and mindful practices.

The idea for my tallow skincare line was born from the values I learned growing up: utilizing every part of the animals we raised and giving thanks for them. Originally, we rendered tallow for cooking, and over time, I began experimenting with using it for skincare products. What started as a way to minimize waste and honor the animals evolved into a full-fledged product line that’s as much about preserving tradition as it is about self-care.
