00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:02.480
I'll say it since nobody else wants to.

00:00:02.540 --> 00:00:05.660
The towel industry is so corrupt now.

00:00:05.661 --> 00:00:10.000
So I got on a meeting with a manufacturer from out in L A.

00:00:10.220 --> 00:00:12.740
They had been trying to get a meeting with me for months.

00:00:12.741 --> 00:00:14.820
So just backstory,

00:00:14.821 --> 00:00:18.340
we produce all of our products in house, so.

00:00:18.341 --> 00:00:20.620
But they can do towel, sunscreen.

00:00:20.621 --> 00:00:21.980
And I was like, okay,

00:00:21.981 --> 00:00:26.320
let me hear them out, because we can't do sunscreen on our own.

00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:28.680
As I'm on this meeting with them,

00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:33.260
they're trying to get me to let them manufacture all of our products.

00:00:33.261 --> 00:00:34.020
And I'm like, no,

00:00:34.021 --> 00:00:35.780
we don't do that. And he's pitching me,

00:00:35.781 --> 00:00:40.140
and he names off about ten large, popular,

00:00:40.141 --> 00:00:41.280
especially here on TikTok,

00:00:41.900 --> 00:00:43.580
Tallo brands. And he's like,

00:00:43.581 --> 00:00:45.900
we manufacture for all of them.

00:00:45.901 --> 00:00:47.300
And so then I'm getting curious,

00:00:47.301 --> 00:00:51.380
and I'm like, so we send you our ingredients and our formula,

00:00:51.381 --> 00:00:52.820
our recipes, and you create them?

00:00:52.821 --> 00:00:54.260
He goes, oh, no,

00:00:54.261 --> 00:00:55.480
we're, um,

00:00:55.980 --> 00:00:59.920
doing one big batch, and then we just run everyone's jars through.

00:01:00.260 --> 00:01:02.040
So then I start asking about ingredients.

00:01:02.300 --> 00:01:04.000
They're using the cheapest.

00:01:04.939 --> 00:01:06.300
They're not using suet fat.

00:01:06.301 --> 00:01:10.080
We only use suet fat that's been hand rendered in small batches.

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:14.540
They are using mass produced to tallow.

00:01:14.541 --> 00:01:15.800
But it's like

00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:20.260
it feels generous to call it tallow that has been bleached and deodorized.

00:01:20.261 --> 00:01:23.060
And none of these tallow companies are telling you that.

00:01:23.061 --> 00:01:24.460
They are not telling you that

00:01:24.461 --> 00:01:26.180
the tallow they are selling you to put on

00:01:26.181 --> 00:01:28.020
Your skin has been bleached and deodorized.

00:01:28.021 --> 00:01:30.060
Because by law, they do not have to.

00:01:30.061 --> 00:01:32.860
And I. And angry about it.

00:01:32.861 --> 00:01:35.080
I'm so angry because I'm like,

00:01:35.380 --> 00:01:38.020
the tallow trend started off from.

00:01:38.021 --> 00:01:40.420
Those of us who love tallow,

00:01:40.421 --> 00:01:41.300
have used it, we're, like,

00:01:41.301 --> 00:01:42.620
doing it before it was cool.

00:01:42.621 --> 00:01:45.740
And all of these families started creating these companies.

00:01:45.741 --> 00:01:49.340
Like, pure good was started by our kids as a homeschool project.

00:01:49.341 --> 00:01:53.340
Like, the tallow trend started off so wholesome,

00:01:53.341 --> 00:01:59.060
and the way it's becoming corrupt just breaks my heart and makes me so mad

00:01:59.061 --> 00:02:02.980
because these companies are using these horrible and cheap ingredients,

00:02:02.981 --> 00:02:05.100
so they're undercutting on pricing.

00:02:05.101 --> 00:02:06.900
All of the families who are just, like,

00:02:06.901 --> 00:02:08.980
doing this because it's the right thing to do,

00:02:08.981 --> 00:02:13.240
and because we know what good towel can do for your skin.

00:02:13.860 --> 00:02:17.580
And so I feel a moral obligation to start posting on TikTok

00:02:17.581 --> 00:02:19.380
because I'm like, I can't.

00:02:19.381 --> 00:02:22.020
That I. I cannot with this anymore. It.

00:02:22.021 --> 00:02:26.760
I'm so angry at what the tallow industry is becoming.

00:02:26.860 --> 00:02:29.500
And I'm not saying buy from us.

00:02:29.501 --> 00:02:30.600
I'm not saying that.

00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:34.180
I'm saying I hope if you are ordering tallow,

00:02:34.181 --> 00:02:36.240
you are going to a company

00:02:36.260 --> 00:02:40.880
where they're being honest and transparent about how their tallow is produced,

00:02:40.940 --> 00:02:43.260
where they're sourcing from, um,

00:02:43.261 --> 00:02:45.280
how it's being manufactured.

00:02:45.340 --> 00:02:46.660
Because, like I said,

00:02:46.661 --> 00:02:49.380
by law, they don't have to tell you it's bleached and deodorized.

00:02:49.381 --> 00:02:53.680
And 90% of the companies out there are using this.

00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:57.600
So I guess I'll Start posting on TikTok.
