About J&M

J&M Artisan Goods was created by John and Mireille, a husband-and-wife team based in New Braunfels, Texas, who believe that the best products are made slowly, simply, and with intention.

Now in their 70s, John and Mireille have spent a lifetime valuing self-reliance, craftsmanship, and caring for others. What started as making nourishing tallow balms for their own family grew naturally into something more, products they could share with their community at local markets and with customers looking for truly simple, effective alternatives.

At J&M Artisan Goods, everything is made in small batches using time-honored ingredients, with a strong focus on skin health and sensitivity. Their tallow balms are rich, nourishing, and free from unnecessary additives. They also offer a specially formulated balm for sensitive skin, a deeply conditioning tallow lip balm, and a tallow beard salve designed to soften and protect.

In addition to skincare, J&M creates comforting handmade items like scented eye masks for headaches and relaxation, as well as handcrafted macramé pieces, each one made with care, patience, and attention to detail.

You’ll often find John and Mireille at local weekend markets, where they love connecting face-to-face with customers, sharing stories, and explaining exactly how and why their products are made.

J&M Artisan Goods isn’t about trends or mass production. It’s about honest ingredients, handmade quality, and products created with the same care they would give to their own family.

Thank you for supporting a small, family-run business and for valuing craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
