About us

Hi, I’m Rusti Hibbert, the hands and heart behind Rustik Render & Rise. I was raised in rural Idaho and have built a life rooted in hard work, honesty, and self sufficiency. Over the years, I’ve found joy in creating from scratch — whether it’s homemade meals, hand crafted goods, or natural skincare. What started as a personal journey to provide my family with simple, nourishing products has grown into a passion for sharing these time-honored traditions with others.

My journey into tallow skincare began when my youngest was diagnosed with eczema and peanut allergies. Reading ingredient labels quickly became second nature, and I was shocked by how many products – even those labeled “natural” – contained questionable additives and potential irritants. Determined to find a better alternative, I started making my own tallow-based moisturizers using only pure, nourishing ingredients.

As an oncology nurse, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of being mindful about what we put on and in our bodies. Many commercial skincare products contain endocrine disruptors and potential carcinogens – things I wanted to eliminate from my family’s routine. This passion for clean, traditional skincare led me to embrace tallow, a time-honored ingredient that has been used for generations to protect and heal the skin. 

At Rustik Render & Rise, I carefully source locally raised beef tallow and blend it with thoughtfully chosen oils and botanicals. Every product is handcrafted in small batches, with a focus on simplicity, sustainability, and effectiveness. My goal is to share skincare the is deeply nourishing, free from unnecessary fillers, and made with the same care I give my own family.

Thank you for being here and for supporting handmade, natural skincare!
