La Vaca Apothecary products are made from premium Wagyu tallow from Brenner Cattle Company’s 100% Full Blood Wagyu herd, based in Austin, Texas. Our founder, Elizabeth Brenner has always been interested in pure products free of parabens, preservatives and other synthetics that are hidden in many of the beauty products on the market. 

After looking into ways to minimize waste, Elizabeth was excited to learn about the incredible and numerous benefits of the centuries old tradition of using tallow has a skin care product. La Vaca Apothecary renders and purifies our Wagyu tallow several times to create a beautiful white and odorless product. We use only the highest quality ingredients, such as ethically and locally sourced Mango Butter from a sustainable co-op in India and the highest-grade essential oils. 

At La Vaca, we believe there is a better way to care for ourselves. Our products are personally handmade in small batches in Austin with love and care by Elizabeth. We love our products and know you will too!
