From source to skin
Every ingredient has a story.
We look beyond labels. How an ingredient was raised, grown, harvested, and processed matters just as much as what it is.
01 — TALLOW
Raised right from the start.
Our tallow comes from a regenerative family farm in Illinois, where cattle are raised 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. No grain finishing. No synthetic hormones. No antibiotics.
That standard matters. Tallow is the foundation of many of our formulas, so its quality begins long before it reaches our facility — with the animal, the pasture, and the way both are cared for.

02 — BEESWAX
Hive health comes first.
We source raw, unrefined beeswax from small-scale beekeepers who prioritize healthy hives and responsible stewardship.
In a formula, beeswax helps protect the skin and seal in moisture. At the source, it represents something larger: a living ecosystem that deserves care, patience, and respect.

“Purity is not a claim on the front of a jar. It is a decision made at every step before it.”The Untamed sourcing standard
03 — BOTANICALS
Potency begins at harvest.
Our plant oils and botanicals come from certified organic, third-party-tested suppliers. We favor cold-pressed, hexane-free oils so the ingredient stays as close as possible to its natural state.
Every botanical must have a clear purpose in the formula. We do not add ingredients to make a label longer or a product sound more impressive.

04 — THE FINAL JAR
Made close. Made carefully.
Once ingredients reach us, every product is handcrafted in small batches at our facility in Soquel, California. Working in small batches gives us control over texture, freshness, and consistency.
We keep formulas focused and production intentional. No mass-production shortcuts. No unnecessary fillers. Just whole ingredients handled with care from source to skin.

Before it earns a place
Our four-part sourcing test
A recognizable name is not enough. We consider the source, the process, the proof, and the purpose.
01
Source
Where did it come from, and were the land, animals, and people behind it treated responsibly?
02
Process
Was it raised, harvested, and processed in a way that protects its integrity?
03
Proof
Can the supplier support its claims with traceability, certification, or testing where relevant?
04
Purpose
Does it make the formula better? If it does not earn its place, it does not go in the jar.
WHOLE INGREDIENTS. WHOLE TRUTH.
Nothing hidden behind the label.
We believe you deserve to know what is in your skincare and why it is there. That is why we choose traceable ingredients, keep our formulas focused, and share our standards plainly.
Purity does not come from complexity. It comes from choosing the right things — and leaving the rest behind.
