Where Arvoti Began
Meet the founder, Gubba
Hi, I’m Gubba. I started making tallow balm on the homestead when my dad needed relief from eczema. He had tried everything. Nothing worked until I rendered suet tallow and blended a jar myself. That balm brought him comfort. So I kept making it.
That was the start of Arvoti. I was tired of fake ingredients and empty claims. I wanted real skincare made from real things. Everything I make is small batch. I blend it myself with ingredients I trust and use every day.
I live on a 38 acre homestead where I grow food, raise animals, and live without pesticides. That lifestyle shapes everything I do. When I make a balm or a cleanser, it comes from the same place I feed my family. It has to be honest. It has to work.
Through Arvoti and Gubba Homestead, I share recipes, tools, and simple ways to reconnect with nature. Whether you are growing your own food or trying to heal your skin, I believe self care starts with knowing what goes in and on your body.
Come along. We can take care of ourselves, our families, and the land. One jar at a time.
Real Skincare Made Right
At Arvoti, skincare is not about trends. It is about getting back to what works. I make every balm, serum, and cleanser in small batches using ingredients I trust. That includes grass fed suet tallow, cold pressed oils, and slow infusions I craft here on the homestead.
From nourishing animal fats to simple plant oils, every ingredient is chosen for a reason. It must be clean, effective, and come from a source I respect. Nothing is added to sound good on a label.
Everything is made by hand in the Pacific Northwest. I create it the same way I live, with care for the land, care for the animals, and care for the people who use it.
This is natural skincare that stays true to its roots. No shortcuts. No junk. Just real care for your skin.
