Our Mission
Our skin is our largest organ and also one of the most important. It absorbs what we put on it, so we need to be especially careful that we are not using anything that could make our bodies sick. At the Tassajara Outpost we keep things simple and clean. No additives and no chemicals. Just natural ingredients combined with your skins health in mind.
We are actively working to eliminate plastic completely from our business. As we work towards this goal and continue to work with other small businesses to renormalize a plastic free world, we sincerely appreciate our customers business and support. It is my sincere hope that as more consumers support these kinds of business, more products and innovations will become available to move us closer to a plastic free world.
Our Story
We are passionate makers and passionate about handmade. All of our products are handmade with love on our Homestead in the beautiful Carmel Valley, deep in the Santa Lucia Mountains of California. We make products that we use ourselves, for our children, for our friends and for all bodies. To us, skin care and cosmetics are not about looking younger, it is about being healthy. Healthy skin is radiant.
We use natural and organic ingredients, and ingredients grown or harvested locally or on our Homestead as much as possible. We source (most) of our ingredients locally and from other local businesses. We are always working hard to keep our footprint smaller and source everything as locally as possible. In addition we grow some ingredients in our Homestead garden and harvest others here on our property deep in the Carmel Valley.
