Our founder, Thaddeus, struggled with eczema and spent years trying natural remedies and “clean” products that never fully eased his skin irritation. Looking for a truly natural solution, he started making his own creams with minimal ingredients, which is when he discovered tallow. After using his own tallow cream and soap, his eczema finally came under control. What started as a personal solution became a mission to help others find real relief through simple, effective skincare, leading to the launch of Viva Tallow in spring 2025.
