Tallow Skincare in Sioux Falls: Inside Lone Tree Tallow with Founder Melissa Goodwin
I'll be honest with you — I've never been a skincare guy. Never had a routine. Never thought twice about it. Inevitably, we all get a little older, and you never use something until the problem's right in front of your face.
And the problem was my face (yeah, I know, right?)
I smile with my eyes, and those lines were starting to show. So when Melissa started working on this "side hustle" making handcrafted luxury tallow skincare products, I figured I'd be a good sport and try it. After all, I haven’t had a consistent skin-care routine since birth. Nothing to lose but some dead skin cells.
Three weeks later, someone complimented my skin over lunch. They had no idea I was coming here to do this episode. They had no idea about Lone Tree. They are also, now a regular, joining the ranks of a groundswell movement (and worldwide), singing praises online about LoneTree Tallow.

The Falls don’t react.
They never have.
The water sounds the same. The rhythm hasn’t changed. But the air still tells you where you are—especially when the wind shifts and Smithfield Meats announces itself. Pungent. Metallic. Unavoidable. A reminder that Sioux Falls was built on work that didn’t need to be pretty to matter.
In 1985, that smell wasn’t a problem. It was a coordinate.
I walked into the warehouse for the IT Outlet in Brandon, SD, and it had more tech firepower than 10 Best Buy Stores and more security than a federal facility.
What their CEO and Owner, Kevin Huber, told me about what's happening to your kids online will leave you speechless.
