When my friend Abby from Fringe Heals went and dropped two incredible new kids' products while I was gone, I couldn't stay quiet. In this episode, we're diving into everything wrong with the kids' supplement market, why "multivitamin" means absolutely nothing, and how Abby built the product I've been searching for but could never find.

We're two moms just trying to live clean, cut through the noise, and share what we know and today, we're giving you no-filter, no-notes honest talk about what's really going into your kids' bodies.

After 3 years of showing up to Toxin Free(ish) every week, today's episode is the last one for a while. As my business and my life changes, I've decided to take a step back from the podcast. To be clear - this does NOT mean I'm leaving Toxin Free behind completely. Tune in to hear about what's to come in 2026 so we can continue cutting out the toxins together!

Tallow is a centuries-old secret that’s making a comeback, and today we’re pulling back the curtain on what really matters when it comes to what you put on your skin.

In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend Sara from Willow Moon Farm, who makes the only tallow I trust on my face. We’re getting real about why tallow is so controversial, what makes it so special, and why sourcing and transparency are everything. If you’ve ever wondered whether tallow is a miracle ingredient or just another fad, this conversation is for you.

We dig into the nitty-gritty of what “tallow” actually means in the skincare world (spoiler: it’s not as straightforward as you think). Sara shares her process for creating truly pure, nutrient-rich tallow—from hand-selecting beef suet at a regenerative farm to her meticulous rendering process. We talk about why most commercial tallow just doesn’t cut it, and how hidden toxins and lack of transparency can make all the difference in your skincare routine.

You’ll also hear about our personal rituals, favorite products, and why handmade, small-batch skincare feels so much more special. If you’re ready to rethink your skincare and get the inside scoop on what’s really in that jar, you’re in the right place!

In today’s episode, we’re chatting about:

• The real story behind tallow and why it’s so polarizing
• How to spot high-quality, truly clean tallow (and what to avoid)
• The importance of transparency and sourcing in skincare
• Our favorite ways to use tallow and other nourishing ingredients
• Why supporting regenerative, local farms matters for your skin—and the planet
