An Interview with Eve + Eden

PHOTO BY SIERRA SUMMER PHOTOGRAPHY

Eve + Eden is a beauty and wellness brand that prioritizes quality biologically appropriate ingredients. We are a husband and wife team that got fed up with big companies selling personal care products that cause more harm to the body than good. We’re simplifying our routines and going back to our roots. After battling years of cystic acne, infertility, and chronic illness, we desired to take our lives back.

Q: What are some core values for Eve + Eden?

A:We strive to create products that honor our biological makeup, the environment, and the Creator. We really desire to educate our customers and empower them to advocate for themselves. Table Talk is a piece of how we’re pulling our community together to learn how to make the best choices for ourselves and those we love. We are also stewarding a fundraising campaign called “Be the Village” to support families in our community.

Q: What products have been released and where can we find them?

A:

We currently have our versatile “Eve” tallow whip and our newest addition, “Adam”. Eve is great for everyone, but especially for those with rosacea, eczema, diaper rash, etc. Adam doubles as beard balm, and smells like a Cinnabon™! We also have a best-selling candle, Jubilee, which is a collaboration with Camilla Bee Candle Co. The following local businesses currently stock our products: Vita Coffee House, Wild Grace inside The Doves Nest, With Willing Hands Antiques, Paper Leaves, and Wild Thyme Herb Shop. We also have a website (eveandedentx.com), and we offer local meet up opportunities through our Instagram!

Q: What is tallow and why is it good for skin? A:

Tallow is rendered and purified fat from an animal. Our tallow is rendered from organic grass fed and finished beef suet from a regenerative farm in Texas. Suet is fat that surrounds the kidneys and other vital organs on the cow. This specific type of fat is rich in fat-soluble vitamin A, D, E, and K as well as essential minerals. Tallow has a very similar amino acid makeup to our own skin’s oil (sebum), which makes it easy for our bodies to utilize. Everyone can benefit from these products because it nourishes the skin — on a biological level!

Q: What is Table Talk?

A: Table Talk is pretty simple! The local community gathers together around a metaphorical table to talk, connect, and learn. We highlight trusted local wellness practitioners who teach us about their area of expertise. Vita Coffee House hosted the first one, and it was a huge success. Camilla Bee Candle Co. hosted a non-toxic perfume making class & we learned more about female anatomy from Dr. Logan Spaeck (a local holistic PT and pelvic floor therapist). Sierra Byers, co-owner of Eve + Eden, will be teaching the next Table Talk this summer. Follow us on social media for tickets and dates!
