There was a time when soap didn’t come with a long list of ingredients — just simple fats, water, and lye. That’s what I wanted to return to when I made this bar: a gentle, straightforward cleanser that wouldn’t overwhelm sensitive skin with scents, plant oils, or additives.
Pure Tallow Soap is our most minimal bar. It’s made specifically for those who can’t tolerate common ingredients like coconut oil, essential oils, or botanicals. With only grass-fed tallow, water, and lye, this soap keeps things simple and supportive — nothing more, nothing less.
Tallow is deeply compatible with the skin. It’s rich in naturally occurring vitamins A, D, E, and K, which remain stable through the cold-process soapmaking method. These nutrients, along with the fatty acid profile of tallow, offer gentle hydration and help support the skin’s natural barrier — especially helpful for those with eczema, psoriasis, or fragrance sensitivities.
This soap doesn’t produce a big, fluffy lather like many commercial bars. That’s intentional. High-lather soaps often rely on coconut oil or synthetic surfactants, which can strip and dry the skin. Pure Tallow Soap creates a soft, creamy wash that cleanses without overdoing it. Using a loofah or a soap saver bag can help create more lather, if desired.
Whether you’re sensitive to plant oils, managing a skin condition, or simply want something cleaner and quieter in your daily routine, this bar was made with you in mind.
