Recently, I had the joy of trying a small-batch skincare product that absolutely blew me away, a Whipped Tallow Balm from a faith-filled small business called Cup Overfloweth Co. I am always a sucker for anything small-batch. What started as a homemade remedy for stretch marks during pregnancy turned into a full-fledged ministry for its founder, Christine. Her story, her heart, and her commitment to clean, nourishing skincare is something I couldn’t wait to share.
If you’re new to tallow or curious about switching to more natural skincare, let this be your gentle nudge. And if you’re already a tallow lover like me, prepare to fall in love all over again, with both the product and the purpose behind this one.
Let’s dive into Christine’s beautiful journey.
A Pregnancy, A Jar of Tallow, and the Beginning of a Blessing
Christine’s business was born at a pivotal moment in her life, pregnancy with her first baby. After being gifted a jar of tallow balm, she saw real results with her stretch marks. But when she went to buy more, the price tag stopped her in her tracks. Like any mama wanting the best for her baby, Christine decided to take matters into her own hands, literally.
She reached out to a family friend with a farm, learned how to render tallow, and began making her own Whipped Tallow Balm. What started in her kitchen quickly spread to her circle of friends and family; before long, word got out.
“I knew firsthand what it felt like to be a new mama, wanting only the best for her baby while needing an option that wouldn’t break the bank.”
Christine turned this need into a calling. Cup Overfloweth Co wasn’t created to chase profits; it was founded on the desire to serve, nourish, and bless.
More Than a Business, It’s a Ministry
From the very beginning, Cup Overfloweth Co has been rooted in faith. The name itself is inspired by Psalm 23, a passage Christine and her family hold close to their hearts.
“We pray that it overflows into every jar, every balm, and every soul we reach.”
This is one of those businesses where you can feel the heart behind every order. Christine prepares each package prayerfully, included a Biblical sticker, and packed the tallow balm with care and intention. She and her husband view this business as their ministry, a way to not only support families with clean skincare but to also point them toward Christ.
The Ingredients Matter -My Personal Review
Christine’s background in dermatology means she takes skincare seriously, and I could tell from the moment I opened my jar. The texture, the scent, and the feel of it on my skin was a whole experience.
Here’s what makes her Whipped Tallow Balm so special:
- Locally sourced beef tallow that is grass-fed and grass-finished
- Hand-rendered at low temperatures to preserve the fatty acid profile
- Organic oils and ingredients only, no fillers, no shortcuts
And in case you didn’t know, not all tallow is created equal. Christine recommends always checking where the tallow is sourced, how the cows are raised, and how the rendering process is done. Grain-finished or poorly rendered tallow just won’t have the same benefits or stability.
Also, a little goes a long way. I’ve been using mine for a few weeks and have barely made a dent. I have the orange creamsicle scent and it smells so dreamy! I almost wish that I could eat it!
From Etsy Success to Everyday Skincare Essential
The Whipped Tallow Balm became a Best Seller, and I can 100% see why. Not only does it hydrate and heal, but it also feels like a little act of self-care every time I use it.
Christine’s products have helped restore her family’s skin and have done the same for customers across the country. Whether you’re dealing with dry patches, eczema, postpartum skin changes, or just want a cleaner routine, tallow balm might be the switch you didn’t know you needed.
A Glimpse of God’s Goodness in Every Jar
Perhaps the most beautiful part of Christine’s story is how deeply her faith is woven into every aspect of her business. Every email, every package, every Instagram post circles back to one message, Jesus is at the center of it all.
“Our business exists only because of the grace of God and His faithful hand opening this door for us.”
This isn’t just skincare; it’s soul care. Cup Overfloweth Co is on a mission to not only nourish our bodies, but to plant seeds of truth, encouragement, and hope.
