Meadowlark Apothecary
Our all natural, pork tallow products are handcrafted in small batches on our family farm in SW Iowa. With a passion for sustainability, we use pork tallow from our humanely raised hogs.
Tallow is rich in Omega-3’s and Vitamins A, E, & D. The tallow is purified and infused with the power of plants and essential oils.
Benefits of Pork Tallow
LOADED WITH VITAMINS
Pasture-raised, grass-grazed pig tallow contains large amounts of Vitamins A & Vitamin E. Pigs are extremely efficient at processing sunlight and storing it as Vitamin D in their fat. Our pigs are raised in ideal conditions - in open air and sunshine, for high doses of Vitamin D! Putting tallow on your skin is an easy way to get extra Vitamin D. Tallow is also rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which help maintain skin’s natural integrity.
SIMILAR PH LEVEL
When it comes to cellular makeup, pork tallow is incredibly close to human skin. It has a similar pH level and is made up of saturated and monounsaturated fats. Since pork tallow is so similar to our own skin oils, it’s a match made in heaven!
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY & FULL OF ANTIOXIDANTS
Tallow provides anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, all of which help to treat and soothe dry skin and immune responses like eczema and rosacea. It’s abundant nutrient profile also supports the production of collagen.

Founder, Formulator, and “Mom”
I have always been interested in a simpler and cleaner lifestyle. Since skin is our largest organ, I wanted to create something safe and beneficial, not just for me, but for my whole family and beyond - to all of you.
I have confidence in the quality of our products, and judging by the overwhelmingly positive responses of everyone who has tried them, I knew I needed help growing. Since Syd and I have worked so well on other projects, I knew we could team up together again and do something amazing. Thank you for supporting us, and we truly hope you enjoy all of our products.

Co-owner
I am very passionate about wellness and fitness and enjoy hiking regularly. With years of experience as a holistic esthetician, I was blown away with, not only the quality, but also the effectiveness of the tallow products, and I knew my mom had created an amazing product. I run our marketing, product design, & some day to day stuff while living in Colorado. You’ll still see me in Iowa often - helping at the farm or our local market!”
