FAQs
🌿 Birch and Oak Skincare FAQ
What makes Birch and Oak skincare products unique?
At Birch and Oak, we craft small-batch, tallow-based skincare using only natural, non-toxic ingredients. Rooted in faith, family, and traditional values, our products are designed for women who prioritize holistic health, and ancestral beauty routines.
What is tallow, and why do you use it in your skincare?
Tallow is a nutrient-rich, traditional fat rendered from grass-fed beef suet. It's packed with skin-loving vitamins A, D, E, and K, and closely mimics our skin’s natural oils. This makes it incredibly effective for nourishing, hydrating, and restoring the skin—especially for sensitive or toxin-conscious users.
Are Birch and Oak products safe for kids and babies?
Yes! Our skincare was born out of a mother’s need for a clean diaper cream. Every product is handcrafted with safe, non-toxic, and gentle ingredients—ideal for the whole family, including babies.
Do you offer fragrance-free options?
Absolutely. We understand many of our customers are sensitive to scents or prefer essential-oil-only products. That’s why we offer both unscented and naturally-scented options using pure essential oils.
Where are Birch and Oak products made?
All of our products are handmade in small batches in Spencer County, Kentucky. We’re proud members of the Kentucky Proud program and support local sourcing whenever possible.
Where can I buy Birch and Oak products?
You can shop online through our website or visit our boutique in Jeffersontown, Kentucky. We also sell at local farmers markets, and we’re expanding into select boutique and wellness stores.
Do you sell wholesale or offer B2B partnerships?
Yes, we do! We love partnering with like-minded boutiques, wellness shops, and faith-driven retailers. If you’re interested in carrying Birch and Oak, check out our wholesale page or contact us directly.
Do you test on animals?
Never. Our products are cruelty-free and ethically made with love and intention.
How should I store my products?
Store all tallow-based skincare in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because we avoid synthetic preservatives, keeping products sealed and clean ensures the longest shelf life.
