Our Story

Hi, I’m Sydney — the hands behind Littlewood Tallow.

I'll start by saying this wasn’t something I planned, but it grew — the way most good things do.

I’d spent a long time searching for something that actually worked for my skin. Then I got pregnant, and everything shifted. Suddenly what I put on my body wasn’t just a personal preference — it was a responsibility. Becoming a mom has a way of making you question everything. I fell into the world of natural living, and somewhere along the way, I found tallow.

So I went to my kitchen and started making it. Quietly. Intentionally. The way things used to be done.

First and foremost, I made it for myself and my babies — I needed to know exactly what was going on our skin, and I wanted it to be something I could trust completely. Seeing what it did for my own skin, and watching it work on my kids, was everything. Only then did I share it with the people closest to me — and when they came back and told me what it had done for their skin, I knew this was something worth continuing.

At Littlewood Tallow, we believe in returning to ingredients that are real, effective, and time-honoured. The mainstream industry tells us we need more — more ingredients, more steps, more products. We believe the opposite. You need less, and better. That’s what we’re rooted in. Real ingredients. Slow made. Small batch. Nothing hidden.

Every jar leaves my hands the same way the first one did — carefully, and with intention. This will always be a small business, and I’ll always make it that way on purpose.

What started as a kitchen experiment has grown into a community of people choosing to do things differently. That means more to me than I can put into words.

Thank you for being here — for caring about what goes on your body, and for supporting something made with real hands and real intention.
