Heddy + Hinton Naturals: SouthPark's Tallow Skincare Brand

Why Charlotte locals are switching to organic, grass-fed beef tallow for sensitive skin

The best local brands don't chase trends. They solve real problems.

Heddy + Hinton Naturals started because two women were tired of buying skincare that promised everything and delivered nothing. Years of sensitive skin. Endless product trials. The same cycle: hope, irritation, disappointment, repeat.

So they did what frustrated people with expertise do. They made their own.

What began in a SouthPark kitchen is now a growing skincare line built on three non-negotiables: ingredient transparency, real education, and formulations that have worked for centuries (not just what's trending on TikTok).

Who's behind it?

Heddy Narchi is a trained wellness coach from Egypt who grew up with traditional beauty practices. She partnered with Dr. Tracie Hinton-Chavez, a master herbalist, to create modern formulations based on what's worked for generations.

Their approach: Fewer ingredients. Better sourcing. Nothing your skin doesn't need.

Let's talk about tallow

The hero ingredient in every Heddy + Hinton product is organic, grass-fed beef tallow.

Tallow has been used in skincare for centuries. Most people think it's greasy, pore-clogging, or smells bad. But high-quality tallow is actually closest to your skin's natural oils.

Heddy + Hinton blend theirs with almond oil, jojoba oil, and cacao butter for a lightweight formula that absorbs fast. No heavy feeling. No breakouts.

What you get: Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K for repair, renewal, and healthy skin.

One customer summed it up perfectly: "It absorbs nicely and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. I would use this all year." (M.M.)

Start here: The Cacao Tallow Moisturizer

The Cacao Tallow Moisturizer is their bestseller. It works for face and body, all skin types.

What's in it

Tallow, cacao butter (high in antioxidants), plus frankincense, pomegranate, and yarrow essential oils.

It's rich but absorbs fast. Protects against oxidative stress. Supports collagen for firmer skin. Smells like chocolate and botanicals.

What customers say

"I absolutely love the cacao tallow. It leaves my skin feeling bright, deeply moisturized, and never greasy. I've tried several tallow-based lotions, and this one is by far the best in both scent and texture." (M.C.)

"From the first application, my skin felt deeply nourished, soft, and healthy without any greasiness. This isn't just a moisturizer, it's skin therapy." (S.V.)

Beyond the bestseller

While the Cacao Tallow gets most of the love, two other products are quietly building cult followings:

Sunshield Tallow

All-natural sun protection that doesn't feel heavy or interfere with makeup.

"I love the way it feels on my skin, not heavy or greasy, just smooth and soft. I have noticed that my makeup goes on better than when I use other sunscreens." (G.H.)

Lip balms

Available in Mint and Citrus Vanilla.

"Finally found a lip balm that actually works in harsh winter conditions. It kept my lips from getting chapped in cold, windy conditions. It's not greasy and not a thick paste. It absorbs well and feels light but still very protective." (M.B.)

Used while snowboarding with great results.
