Hi there! We’re the Alonzo’s. My husband and I have been married for 13 years and have 3 beautiful children. We love Jesus, football, nature, and spending time with family. I’m thankful for a husband that provides so that I have the privilege to raise and homeschool my kids full time.
In 2021, our daughter developed several auto-immune health issues from topical steroids and mold exposure. We went through a lot of medical traumas with her, but it led us to a more holistic lifestyle. You can read more about her story and how it led us to making tallow skincare.
Because of Mia’s story, and the kid's interest in learning about entrepreneurship, we started our tallow business. We came up with our name Three Arrows from Psalm 127 which says, “children are like arrows in the hands of a warrior.” Our three kids are our arrows. We have to shape them, guide them, and form them so they fly straight. We carry a great responsibility to care for our kids. Their health is just one of those things, and we hope that Three Arrows will help others take a step in the right direction to non-toxic and healthier living.
Mia developed Eczema when she was a baby. Doctors kept telling us she’d outgrow it and prescribed topical steroids year after year. We were never told to seek out the root cause.
This eventually caused Mia to experience TSW - Topical Steroid Withdraw. Doctors wouldn’t acknowledge TSW and continued to push steroids, so we started researching how to heal her holistically. It was the hardest thing we’ve ever walked through as a family. Her healing process was long and hard, but so worth it. It strengthened our faith and taught us so much about healthier living.
While treating Mia’s skin was mostly focused on internal health, her skin was and still is so sensitive. We found Tallow and knew it was great, but she still reacted to certain oils. We couldn’t find any companies that made something with JUST tallow, so we figured out how to make our own. Now, our PURE tallow is our most popular for sensitive skin and eczema customers!
What we put in and on our bodies MATTERS. Our homemade Tallows are made with so much love and care. Mia is such a warrior with the biggest heart and desire to help others like her. Three Arrows started in our kitchen, but most importantly out of our desire to share our love for natural skincare with others.
Mia at the beginning of TSW (you can see the flares on her face, but it doesn’t do any justice to how bad it was all over her body) and Mia NOW!!
