My Story

Hi, I’m Kait!

I’ve been a Master Esthetician since 2018 with a passion for natural, effective skincare. After years of working at places like Amara Med Spa in Orem, UT, and New Image MD in Durham, NC, in 2021 I launched Kait’s Day Spa to help people feel confident in their own skin. I also oversee the esthetics department at Dental Solutions LLC, where I perform laser treatments and PRF microneedling.

Like many, I struggled to find skincare that worked for me—too many toxins, endless steps, and sky-high prices. That frustration, paired with my discoveries at holistic seminars, led me to the incredible benefits of melatonin for skin health. When I couldn’t find it in existing products, I decided to create my own.

Enter Tallow + Tonin! Teaming up with my husband Dal, who earned his MBA in 2024, we combined my esthetics expertise with his business savvy to craft affordable, natural skincare featuring melatonin and grass-fed beef tallow. It’s been a joy building this together, and we’re thrilled by the love our products have already received. When I’m not working skin solutions, you’ll find me with my family—Dalon, our sons Xander (5) and Beck (3), and our Bernese Mountain Dog, Loki—enjoying Chinese food (or any food, really), or reminiscing about my time serving a mission in Oahu, Hawaii.

Thanks for being part of our journey—I’d love to help you glow naturally!"

The woman has curly hair, is wearing a dark dress with short sleeves, and is barefoot. They are standing close together, with the woman's hand resting on the man's chest, near his heart.
