We are so excited to share our Five Marys Wellness line with you! Our tallow products are sourced from our very own Five Marys beef cattle - raised right here on our ranch in Northern California, then harvested and processed at our custom USDA butchery.

With only the highest quality inputs and care, you can feel confident about what you put on your skin, in your food, and in your home… from our family to yours.

We started Five Marys Wellness with a mission of "whole animal use." Our goal is to utilize every part of the animal, from traditional cuts to organs, bones, and fat, promoting sustainability and respect for the animal. With our custom USDA butchery and skilled butchers who focus on one animal at a time, we are so proud to achieve this!

In addition to our commitment to sustainability, we (of course) want the highest-quality skincare and wellness products for our family… four teenage daughters over here! With that in mind, we began experimenting with natural skincare, and we are thrilled to be able to share the high-quality wellness products we’ve created
with you and your family.

Jojoba Oil

A unique liquid wax ester that closely resembles human sebum, making it an unparalleled skin-conditioning agent. Jojoba oil balances oil production, is deeply penetrating + non-greasy, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and is packed with nutrients that support skin repair.
Rosehip Oil

Rosehip oil is a potent skin rejuvenator and is extracted from the seeds of wild rose bushes. Rosehip oil’s benefits are often regarded as the ‘Oil of Youth’ because of it’s high Vitamin A content (natural retinol alternative). It’s also rich in Omega-3 + Omega-6 fatty acids, fades hyperpigmentation, and boosts collagen production.
