About Us
Our Story
Teresa Osmer Naturals was born from a simple belief: your skin deserves the purest, most nourishing ingredients nature has to offer. What started as a personal journey to find truly clean skincare has grown into a passion for creating handcrafted products that honor both your skin and the earth.
I started making natural skincare because I was frustrated with products full of synthetic chemicals, fillers, and ingredients I couldn't pronounce. I wanted something real—something that worked with my skin, not against it. That's when I discovered the incredible benefits of grass-fed tallow and other time-tested, nutrient-rich ingredients.
Why Grass-Fed Tallow?
At the heart of our products is 100% grass-fed, grass-finished tallow—a traditional ingredient that's been used for centuries but forgotten by modern skincare. Unlike conventional tallow or plant-based alternatives, grass-fed tallow is:
- Biocompatible with human skin – Its fatty acid profile closely matches our skin's natural oils, allowing deep absorption without clogging pores
- Rich in fat-soluble vitamins – Vitamins A, D, E, and K nourish and repair skin at the cellular level
- Packed with CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) – A powerful anti-inflammatory that supports skin barrier health
- Sustainably sourced – We use only tallow from grass-fed, grass-finished cattle, supporting regenerative agriculture
Our Sourcing Philosophy
Every ingredient we use is chosen with intention. We believe in:
- Organic whenever possible – Our oils, butters, and botanicals are certified organic or wildcrafted
- Transparency – You'll always know exactly what's in our products and where it comes from
- Quality over quantity – We source from trusted suppliers who share our commitment to purity and sustainability
- Supporting ethical farming – Our grass-fed tallow and goat's milk come from small farms practicing humane, regenerative methods
The Handmade Difference
Every jar, bar, and bottle is handcrafted in small batches in the USA. This isn't just a marketing claim—it's how we ensure:
- Maximum freshness – Your products are made to order, not sitting in a warehouse for months
- Quality control – I personally oversee every batch to ensure it meets our high standards
- No fillers or preservatives – We don't need them because our products are fresh and made with stable, natural ingredients
- Attention to detail – Each product is crafted with care, not mass-produced on an assembly line
Our Values
Skin Health Over Marketing Gimmicks – We don't chase trends or make exaggerated claims. Our products work because they're made with ingredients your skin recognizes and can actually use.
Sustainability – By using tallow (a byproduct of the meat industry), we're practicing nose-to-tail sustainability and reducing waste. Our packaging is minimal and recyclable.
Transparency – No hidden ingredients, no greenwashing. What you see is what you get—pure, honest skincare.
Cruelty-Free – We never test on animals and source our ingredients ethically.
