Meet the Tallow Twins: How Two Ontario Sisters are Redefining Natural Skincare with Ancestral Wisdom

Who Are the Tallow Twins? Meet Meghan & Madison

Meghan and Madison, twin sisters from Ontario, Canada, are the founders behind Tallow Twins, a fast-growing ancestral skincare brand rooted in simplicity, nature and real nourishment. Their journey into the world of natural skincare began long before the business; growing up surrounded by animals, farms and a deep connection to the rhythms of the land instilled in them a lifelong respect for clean, sustainable living.

Their passion for regenerative living and holistic beauty eventually collided resulted in frustration with the endless shelves of over complicated, hormone-disrupting skincare products that promised results but often came at the expense of health.

Determined to return to the roots of real nourishment, the sisters created Tallow Twins, offering tallow-based, bioavailable skincare designed to nourish the skin the way nature intended.

Madison is a radical birth keeper, doula, photographer, and serves as the brand’s CMO. Her work reflects her deep commitment to women’s wellness and living in alignment with the natural world. Meghan, an athlete, nature lover, and COO of Tallow Twins, embodies the balance of strength and simplicity that defines their approach to beauty.

Together, Meghan and Madison are redefining the skincare industry by reminding women that: 

“True beauty doesn’t require compromise; it begins with ingredients you can trust and a return to the ancestral wisdom our bodies recognize.”

How the Tallow Twins Turned their Passion for Natural Skincare into a Fast Growing Brand

The journey into the skincare industry often takes years, but for Meghan and Madison, it happened almost overnight. Their rapidly growing natural skincare brand was born from a desire for something better: simple, safe and deeply nourishing products free from harmful chemicals and misleading labels.

After struggling with sensitive skin, hormonal imbalances and the frustration of so called “clean beauty” that never delivered real results, the sisters turned to tallow based skincare, a traditional, nutrient-dense ingredient known for its ability to nourish and repair the skin on a cellular level.

What began as a few handmade batches for themselves and their families quickly sparked demand. Madison’s birth clients, many of whom already valued holistic health and non-toxic skincare, started asking for their own jars. One batch turned into ten. Ten turned into a waitlist. And now, they are scaling a six-figure brand growing so quickly that they can hardly keep up with the organic demand!

The Biggest Challenge of Building a Natural Skincare Brand

For Meghan and Madison, one of the most unexpected challenges of launching Tallow

Twins has been helping people unlearn what they’ve been taught about skincare. Years of exposure to mainstream beauty marketing have conditioned many to believe that effective skincare should tingle, foam, or come packaged in plastic tubes with a long list of 30+ hard-to-pronounce ingredients.

But the truth is, 

“Real skin nourishment is simple. It doesn’t need to be flashy, overcomplicated, or filled with synthetic chemicals to work.”

The sisters have made it their mission to remind people that the best skincare often comes from ancestral wisdom, whole ingredients and a deep respect for how the skin naturally functions.

Beyond the education hurdle, they’ve also faced the challenge of pushing back against fear based marketing and outdated industry myths, from misleading “non-comedogenic” claims to the lingering stigma around healthy fats in skincare. But as their brand continues to grow, so does their community of women ready to embrace a different, more holistic approach to beauty.

What Makes Tallow so Unique? The Natural Ingredients Behind Tallow Twins Skincare

Tallow may be unfamiliar to some, but it is a powerhouse ingredient in the world of natural skincare. Often called “bioavailable skin food,” tallow closely resembles the skin’s own natural oils, making it easily absorbed and deeply nourishing. Beef tallow, rendered from grass-fed , is packed with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, tallow works on a cellular level to repair and rejuvenate the skin, rather than simply sitting on the surface.

This ancestral ingredient forms the foundation of Tallow Twins’ products, providing lasting hydration and supporting healthy skin function. To maximize its benefits, Meghan and Madison thoughtfully blend tallow with other high-quality, natural ingredients, including:

• Jojoba oil, prized for its ability to mimic the skin’s sebum

• Raw beeswax, which acts as a natural barrier and offers antimicrobial properties

• Therapeutic-grade essential oils, carefully selected for their skin-supporting qualities

  
  

Every ingredient in Tallow Twins skincare is chosen with intention, all are recognizable, pronounceable and purposeful. This reflects the brand’s unwavering commitment to clean, effective and non-toxic skincare that honors both the skin and the environment.

Why Sustainable and Ethical Sourcing Matters in Natural Skincare

In the world of natural skincare, there’s a big difference between products that are simply labeled “natural” and those that are truly aligned with sustainable and ethical values. Many so-called “clean” brands still depend on industrial supply chains that can exploit the earth, animals, and workers.

For Meghan and Madison, sourcing isn’t just a checkbox, it’s a core commitment. They partner exclusively with farms and suppliers they trust, where animals are treated with reverence and the land is cared for through regenerative practices. This ensures that every ingredient in Tallow Twins products not only benefits the skin but also supports the health of the planet and its ecosystems.

Choosing brands like Tallow Twins means more than buying a product, it’s a conscious vote for the kind of world you want to live in: one that values respect, responsibility, and harmony with nature.

How to Navigate the Overwhelming World of Skincare Marketing

With so many skincare products and marketing claims out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and confused about what to trust. Meghan and Madison offer simple but powerful advice: 

“If you wouldn’t eat it or put it on a baby, why put it on your face?” 

Avoid getting caught up in over complicated formulas or trendy buzzwords slapped on packaging. Instead, seek out brands that are transparent, those who openly share their full ingredient lists and prioritize clean, recognizable components.

Most importantly, listen to your own body. Pay attention to how your skin responds. Does the product leave your skin feeling calm, balanced, and nourished? Or does it keep you chasing yet another temporary “solution”?

Trusting your skin’s natural signals and choosing simple, honest products can help you cut through the noise and find skincare that truly works for you.

Fun Facts about the Tallow Twins

Beyond their passion for natural skincare and ancestral living, Meghan and Madison are adventurous souls with stories as vibrant as their brand. Together, they’ve traveled to over 20 countries across Europe and Asia, embracing new cultures and experiences along the way.

Meghan, a powerhouse athlete, can squat an impressive 345 lbs, yet she’s also known as the clumsiest person you’ll ever meet. Madison has a near-spiritual devotion to capturing the beauty of women giving birth and nursing their babies in nature through her photography.

Their daily lives are grounded by simple joys and meaningful rituals: barefoot walks, cow cuddles, living with integrity, and sharing raw milk as if it were a love language. These principles don’t just inspire their skincare brand, they govern their entire way of life.

Stepping Outside your Comfort Zone: A Message from the Tallow Twins to the Serenità Community

“You don’t need to wait until you feel ready. Readiness is a myth. Most of the time, the call into your next chapter won’t come with clarity—it will come as a whisper, a pull in your gut, a vision only you can see. Honor it.”

Stepping outside your comfort zone won’t always feel brave. Sometimes it will feel terrifying, disorienting, even lonely. But what’s even more terrifying is the quiet ache of a life unlived. Your dreams were planted in you for a reason. They’re not random. They are invitations to become who you were always meant to be.

Start small. Start messy. Start when your hands are shaking. And surround yourself with women who remind you of what’s possible.

At Serenità Retreats, you’ll find that supportive sisterhood, a space created exactly for this kind of courageous transformation. As the Tallow Twins so beautifully remind us:

“This life is not a dress rehearsal. You were made for more than comfort. You were made for impact, for beauty, for legacy. Step forward, even if your voice trembles. The path will rise to meet you.”
