My Neighbor's Tallow

Welcome to My Neighbor's Tallow

If you've ever wished your skincare routine could be simpler, cleaner, and actually work — you're going to love My Neighbor's. Founded in New York's Hudson Valley, My Neighbor's crafts small-batch skincare rooted in ancestral wisdom. Our tallow-based balms, lip balms, soaps, and oils are all made with seven or fewer ingredients so your skin gets exactly what it needs and nothing it doesn't.

What sets My Neighbor's apart is the philosophy behind every jar: that the best skincare isn't found in a lab full of synthetic fillers, but in time-tested, natural ingredients that humans have used for generations. Our tallow is sourced from grass-fed and finished cattle raised on regenerative farms right in the Hudson Valley. Our vegan line leans on organic, non-GMO botanicals grown with the same care. Whether you're managing dry skin, eczema, or just want to ditch the ingredient lists you can't pronounce, My Neighbor's has you covered — gently, naturally, and beautifully.

At My Neighbor’s, we believe in passing down more than just routines — but a reverence for the land, and a return to nature’s most honest, time-tested remedies.

Skincare, at its core, should feel like home:grounding, nourishing, and deeply true.

About Us

A Mother's Mission

My Neighbor's began as a deeply personal journey to find safe, effective skincare. Harri Magaldi, the brand's founder, was a new mother living in New York's Hudson Valley when her daughter Wilhelmina developed eczema. Frustrated by conventional products loaded with synthetic ingredients and toxic additives, she went searching for something better — and rediscovered a centuries-old solution: tallow-based skincare.

What started as a personal remedy quickly became a calling. Harri left behind a career on Wall Street to build something meaningful — a brand grounded in sustainability, simplicity, and the timeless healing power of nature. My Neighbor's was born from that leap of faith.

Crafted with Care, Rooted in Heritage

My Neighbor's is a female-founded, mother-owned brand that handcrafts its skincare in small batches using both tallow-based and vegan formulations — always with integrity and intention. Their animal-based products feature grass-fed and finished tallow from regenerative farms in New York's Hudson Valley, including Kinderhook and Liberty Farms. For their vegan line, they use only organic, non-GMO, and regeneratively grown botanicals.

Every ingredient is thoughtfully sourced — often directly from the farmers and makers — using traditional methods like dry rendering to preserve nutrients. The result is skincare that's rich in vitamins, omega fatty acids, and time-honored wisdom.

From the Hudson Valley to Your Home

My Neighbor's is a small, mighty, and neighborly crew. Their team is made up of mothers, makers, artists, and farmers — all bound by a shared love of slow living, meaningful work, and doing things the right way.
