If you ask my husband, he'd probably say I'm crazy.
In 2010 we bought an abandoned farm & sunk our roots in deep. We tirelessly worked for years reviving the land & together as a family we created something amazing & beautiful.
When we needed a cleaner way of living for our kids, we dug our heels in & used the land so our children could thrive. We made our businesses on it, built our lives around it, and we made our mark on this world with it.
Once I learned the ability to change your life was in your own hands & all you had to do was take a new step in the direction you are aiming to go each day, I ran with it & never looked back.
Our dream of providing clean food and clean skin care to our family came to light several years ago we now have decided to take it a step further and make the products we raise and craft available year round here online as well as through our farm store seasonally.
Welcome y’all to Rustique Essentials, the skin care side, and Whitehead Farms, the clean food side.
Click HERE to shop our natural handcrafted skin care made with simple heritage ingredients that our farm provides such as tallow, lard, goat’s milk, herbs, and honey. From old fashioned lard & lye soaps to skin nourishing goat’s milk bath bombs we have your skin needs covered! We built this business because our son who is allergic to sulfates struggled so badly with skin reactions from products such as laundry detergent with sodium lauryl sulfate or skin care with fragrance oils full of parabens and sulfates that it was easier for me to make his skin care items such as soap, shampoo, & moisturizer myself instead of having to guess if a certain product would break him out or not. All of our products are either unscented, essential oil scented, or if there is a fragrance oil in it I can assure you it is paraben and sulfate free. Why? Because we use these skin care products in our home and I would never put an ingredient in a product that I wouldn’t use with my own children. Thanks for choosing us!
