What others are saying

  • Best tallow cream!

    I’ve been looking for a product that helps moisturize, minimize wrinkles, and brighten the complexion, without all the harmful chemicals. I’ve tried many in the past with average results but once I started using ‘a little Joy’s’ tallow cream, I noticed immediate results that helped my skin in every way possible and more! I feel more youthful using this product and I don’t feel guilty because of all the clean minimal ingredients. I enjoy using this every day and seeing improvements in my skin’s texture, elasticity, and the soft glow that it gives with each usage. I’ve also used this tallow cream on my eczema and it immediately soothes the irritation. So happy I found this product! I use the magnesium tallow cream before bed for the nights I feel I may have trouble sleeping and I get deeper sleep and feel very well rested when I wake up. These two products alone can be used as part of you and your family’s regular skincare and medicinal wellness routine! Highly recommend! Thank you, Joy!

  • Absolute game changer!

    It is unbelievable how amazing “a little JOY” Magnesium Tallow Whip is! I purchased this cream to help my husband sleep. He prefers products that are all-natural with no synthetic ingredients because he knows how dangerous the scents and chemicals used to make skincare products can be. He asked me to try a tallow-based skincare product, so I did some research and came upon “a little JOY”. After using this Tallow just once, he had the best night’s sleep in years. He now uses this cream every night and it is incredible how effective it has been. We highly reccomend “a little JOY” skin-care products and I will be buying other products in her line.  If you're thinking about trying a tallow-based skincare cream, this is it!

  • Beautifully made products!

    “A Little Joy” tallow is a beautifully made product filled with organic ingredients. Silky smooth, it glides on like butter, absorbs quickly and leaves your skin nourished and satin smooth. These finely crafted products have a heavenly fragrance from carefully selected essential oils. I particularly appreciate that Joy's tallow is made with the purest high quality ingredients trusting that my skin, inside and out, is "safe". This small, family run business, producing small batches and donating part of their proceeds to a worthy cause, has me a loyal customer. Thank you, Joy & Bill!
