Collection: Born To Be Free

 Born To Be Free Logo

Small-Batch Tallow Skincare, Made in the USA

Discover Born To Be Free, a husband-and-wife-founded American skincare brand creating tallow body butters, face care, soaps, lip care, baby care, candles, and everyday body essentials with short ingredient lists and traditional materials.

Founders John and Nadja Scavone began making products for themselves after rethinking the ingredients in their everyday routines. They sourced beef fat locally, rendered their own tallow, and started experimenting at home. What began as personal skincare eventually became Born To Be Free.

Today, the brand makes its products in small batches in the USA, using ingredients such as regeneratively sourced American beef tallow, beeswax, raw honey, olive oil, plant oils, botanicals, and essential oils depending on the formula.

This isn’t skincare built around a long ingredient list.

It’s traditional tallow care, handcrafted in America with a focus on simple formulas and transparent sourcing.

Who founded Born To Be Free?

Born To Be Free was founded by husband-and-wife team John and Nadja Scavone. They began by making tallow products for themselves, then for friends and family, before developing the idea into a full skincare brand.

Where are Born To Be Free products made?

The company states that its products are handmade in small batches and crafted in the USA. Its public website does not clearly identify a current production city or state, so MAG should not assign one without confirmation.

What is Born To Be Free known for?

The collection centers on grass-fed tallow skincare, including face and body butters, tallow soap, lip care, baby care, balms, tallow candles, seasonal products, and gift sets.

Where does the tallow come from?

Born To Be Free says its tallow is regeneratively sourced from an American ranch. An external Beef Initiative profile specifically identifies Redbanks Beef Farm in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley as a sourcing partner.

Does Born To Be Free use synthetic fragrance?

The brand says it avoids synthetic fragrance and relies on essential oils or other ingredients for scent in qualifying products. Individual ingredient lists should still be reviewed by SKU.

How should tallow products be stored?

Born To Be Free recommends keeping products away from direct sunlight and excessive heat, generally below about 70–75°F. Because tallow and natural butters can soften in warm temperatures, texture may change without necessarily affecting the product.
