Our Story

Our Story

Skincare, brought back to its roots.

Untamed Organics is small-batch, hand-crafted skincare made from grass-fed tallow, raw botanicals, and cold-pressed oils — nothing you can't pronounce, nothing your grandmother wouldn't recognize.

From the Founder

Where it began.

I was raised on a ranch where nature wasn't just part of life — it was life. We rode horses, tended animals, gathered eggs at first light, and ate what the seasons offered. Real work. Real food. Real skin in the game.

College changed things fast. Packaged food, fluorescent lights, and product labels that read like chemistry exams. My skin fell apart — eczema, rashes that wouldn't quit — and every "natural" bottle I flipped over had the same synthetic ingredients hiding behind better branding.

So I went back to what I knew: the earth doesn't need to be improved — just respected. I started formulating skincare the way my family made things for generations: tallow, beeswax, cold-pressed oils, herbs. Ingredients our ancestors would recognize, made the way nature intended.

Untamed Organics is what came out of it.

"We don't follow trends. We follow truth. Pure. Potent. Radically natural."
Our Standard

What we stand for

Radical Purity

Whole, recognizable ingredients. No synthetics, no parabens, no added fragrance. If it doesn't earn a spot in the jar, it doesn't go in.

Regenerative Sourcing

We work with grass-fed, grass-finished ranches and farms we know by name — partners that put the land back better than they found it.

Small-Batch Craft

Every jar is hand-crafted in small batches in Soquel, California. No mass production. No shortcuts. No compromises.

Real Community

We answer emails, name our sources, and share what we know. You get skincare you can trust — and the story behind it.

Regenerative pasture and grass-fed cattle

Ingredients

Sourced from farms we know by name.

Tallow is the heart of what we make — but only tallow rendered from cattle raised the right way. That means grass-fed and grass-finished, on regenerative pastures, from partners who share our standard.

Our botanicals are cold-pressed and unrefined. Our beeswax comes from small apiaries. Nothing is deodorized, bleached, or blended down to save cost.

Craft

Hand-crafted in small batches in Soquel, California.

Every product is made by hand in our Soquel workshop. Small batches mean we can taste, smell, and inspect what leaves our door — the way skincare used to be made, before shelves got crowded and stories got lost.

If we can't stand behind a jar, it doesn't ship. That's the whole promise.
