Our Story

At Country Essence, our journey began with a mother's determination to heal her child. When my toddler suffered from eczema and was prescribed indefinite steroidal treatment, I did what mothers do best—I searched for a better solution.

From Necessity to Purpose

My research led me to discover the remarkable healing properties of tallow for eczema, psoriasis, and other skin conditions. Learning that what we apply to our skin enters our bloodstream—and how years of chemical exposure can be detrimental—I thought of my mother who survived cancer, my friends, and most importantly, my children's future.

With this knowledge, I began crafting my own tallow-based remedies in our Cumberland, Rhode Island home. What started as a solution for my child evolved into something much bigger.

A New Beginning

When I was laid off from my executive-level position at a national company, I saw not a setback but an opportunity—a chance to help families access affordable, non-toxic alternatives to conventional skincare. Country Essence was born from this vision: creating effective, pure products that families like mine could trust completely.

Our Promise

Every product we create upholds our commitment to:

  • Purity: Organic, locally-sourced ingredients with no harmful chemicals
  • Effectiveness: Formulations that actually heal, not just mask symptoms
  • Affordability: Making clean skincare accessible to all families
  • Education: Empowering you with knowledge about what goes on (and in) your body

What Makes Us Different

Our small-batch workshop transforms organic, locally-sourced Angus beef tallow into nutrient-rich skincare that works in harmony with your body. Each product is thoughtfully infused with carefully selected herbs using our own proprietary recipes - from healing calendula and tea tree for our eczema balm to soothing magnesium, arnica, and menthol in our cooling muscle relief balm and nourishing botanicals in our versatile hand balm.
Tallow's molecular structure closely resembles our skin's own oils, providing deep nourishment with vitamins A, D, E, and K, plus essential fatty acids that synthetic ingredients simply cannot match. When combined with our hand-selected herbal infusions, each formula delivers targeted benefits that honor both traditional wisdom and modern skincare needs.

Country Essence isn't just a skincare company—it's a movement toward healthier families and a more conscious approach to what we put on our bodies. Whether you're managing a specific skin condition or simply seeking clean alternatives to conventional products, we invite you to experience the difference that honest, nutrient-dense ingredients can make.

Because everyone deserves skincare that heals, not harms.
