Hi! My name is Katy and I'm the owner of Desert Light Farm, though it truly is a family effort around here...

My husband and kids are very involved, and everything is made, labeled, packed, and shipped by us here in Wickenburg, Arizona. At Desert Light Farm, our story is one of faith, family, and finding light in the desert.

After losing both of my parents in their 60s, with my mom passing from cancer, I began looking closely at what we put in and ON our bodies. During my research, I discovered that many skincare products are filled with ingredients that have harmful side effects I no longer felt comfortable using on me or my family. At the same time, I also struggled to find truly clean products that actually worked for my dry skin.

Then a friend introduced me to beef tallow, and I was hooked! For the first time, something genuinely helped that was completely natural, plus, I loved getting back to the basics of skincare and using what our ancestors used.

What started as an effort to make just one product for my own family slowly grew into soap, lip balm, deodorant, and more - all tallow based along with other natural ingredients. Eventually, I realized that if I struggled to find clean skincare I could trust, other moms probably were too.

That’s when Desert Light Farm became more than a family experiment. It became a business built on purpose, faith, and a desire to create simple, nourishing skincare made with ingredients you can actually recognize. I had a desire to help make a difference in other's lives - a change I wish I could have offered my parents.

My goal is simple: to make high quality, truly clean skincare rooted in faith and family.

We believe integrity matters. We believe in doing things by hand, from the heart. And we believe in shining God’s light through the work we do. Our name is inspired by John 8:12 - "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life"


From our hands to yours, thank you for being here!
