Tallow Soap

This is soap the way it used to be - simple, pure, natural and without filler ingredients.

Handmade with pure rendered grass-fed & grass finished tallow, just as generations before us did - using the traditional cold soap making process.

Tallow is rich in fat-soluble vitamins making it wonderful for daily use as a body soap, but it also has many uses up and above that.

Let me share more with you about this amazing tallow soap...

Traditional Tallow Soap

Grass-fed & Grass Finished

Each bar is made from rendered tallow from grass-fed and grass finished cows.

This makes these bars richer in the important fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K.

The Only Ingredients

Saponified Tallow is the only ingredient in the Traditional Unscented Tallow.

Saponified tallow means it is tallow made into soap using lye & water.

No seed oils.

The scented one have pure essential oils in them.

Cold Process Soapmaking

This soap is made the traditional way. It is a slow and natural process that preserves the integrity of the ingredients and produces a firm, long lasting bar with great lather.

Each batch takes 4 to 6 weeks to be ready for use.

Homesteader Soap / "Boerseep"

This soap is the traditional homesteader soap ("boerseep" / farmer soap).

It has been used for many years for washing bodies, but also for cleaning stains, laundry and dishes.

It is simple, pure & very effective.

Why this soap?

Tallow Soap is our family's go to soap, especially for post-partum days and as our soap of choice to use on our babies and children.

As a health-conscious family, we avoid seed oils (and all products and foods high in polyunsaturated fats). We avoid unnatural hormone disrupting fragrances and filler ingredients, and we prioritize products high in saturated fat (and fat-soluble vitamins).

Most soaps have unnecessary ingredients in them - you don't need anything more than rendered tallow and some lye (and water) to make an amazing and effective soap.

When deciding what to buy

Scented vs Unscented

For post-partum moms, pregnant women, babies and children I recommend using the unscented soap. In general, unscented is my preference and my recommendation for anyone, but even more so for the aforementioned.

Scented

For the foreseeable future a variety of scents will become available as I make them. Each batch will have a limited number of bars available until I have enough information to know which scents are the most desired and those will become regularly stocked scents.

If you have a particular scent, you would like and are willing to wait for it (remember they take 4 to 6 weeks to be ready) - send me a message and I will see what I can do.

Uses

We use this soap as our daily body washing soap - the whole family uses it, and we have for years.

But we also use it for other things. I make a bottle of stain remover using it, and we use it to make laundry detergent (yes - even through cloth diapering). If you want more information on this it is coming soon - I recommend subscribing to my mailing list and checking back regularly as I share blogs and more.
