About Gordita & I
Greetings!
I’m Mikayla - the heart and soul behind Gordita.
Based near Okotoks, Alberta, I handcraft each product in my home studio, using only the finest local grass-fed tallow.
My journey into the world of tallow skincare began with a personal battle against persistent skin issues. After years of disappointment with harsh and ineffective products, I discovered the transformative power of tallow. This natural wonder not only soothed my skin but also sparked a passion within me.
Compelled by this discovery, I embarked on creating Gordita. It’s a journey that’s deeply personal, reflecting my own transformation and the desire to share this healing with others.
My Inspiration Behind Gordita
In creating Gordita, I embarked on a journey that was more than about skincare—it was a rediscovery of ancestral practices and their timeless wisdom. This exploration, deeply rooted in nature’s simplicity, led me to tallow, a natural healer that transformed my complexion and confidence. Gordita is my personal ode to this journey, a testament to the power of harmonizing with nature rather than contending against it. It symbolizes my commitment to authentic, soulful skincare, inspired by the wisdom of our ancestors, and my dedication to sharing this path of natural wellness and true beauty with you.
