Who is HBCo

Hey there, I'm Kristen!

My goal is to bring nature made skincare with simple ingredients that work. I living in the high desert of the Montana Rocky Mountains has its perks and downfalls. Dryness is one of those downfalls. It is a condition I am solving for you with the ancient practice of tallow skincare, made modern.

Here is a little about why I do what I do.... I am a retired cosmetologist who got into natural organic haircare early on in my career, gradually dipping into soaps and skin care.

It wasn't an intention of mine, but became one, after learning the products I was using were not as they said they were. You see, over time, I developed sensitivities of my own. Scents often gave me headaches and I am now coping with eczema and dry skin.

I got lost and confused as to what was good, bad, natural, clean, real....ugh!  There is a lot of noise out there. I am here to bring quiet. I am transparent, honest, and like to keep it simple.

Tallow has allowed simplicity with tried and true ancestral practices to my products. Everything I make is made with natural oils, fats, butters and plants. I integrate Mother Nature into simple and effective skincare made modern for todays skincare standards. As you can guess, I hand make everything in small batches to keep quality pure and protected.

Preservatives are only added as protectors to products when water is needed for emulsions. Hand soap is the only exception because it becomes a salt. (yep, that is what soap does). My goal is to bring nature made skincare with simple ingredients that work. All our products are made right here in Missoula, Montana.
