Which Tallow Soap is Right For You?
Choosing the Right Soap For You
What are tallow soaps?
Our beef tallow soaps are Cold Process Soaps made with locally sourced, halal, grassfed, and grassfinished beef tallow. The fatty acid profile in tallow along with its vitamin content makes it a gentle, moisturizing soap which cleanses without stripping the skin.
Are all tallow soaps created equal? Are some better for you than others?
We know it can be difficult scrolling through endless options trying to figure out which soap is right for your unique skin profile.
So we thought we’d make it a little easier! Here is a breakdown of our most popular soaps and exactly which skin type they are best suited for.
Before we get into it, just a quick note:
The beauty of natural skincare, especially skincare like ours which derives inspiration from traditional recipes, is that the majority of our tallow soaps (and butters) work well for a variety of skintypes and body parts.
Unlike modern skincare which offers a specific product for under eyes, face, body, even feet, we strive to return to how skincare always used to be: what is used for the face is just as good for the body, and what works for dry skin can simultaneously for oily skin.
How is this possible?
When we take a look at holistic recipes & ingredients, we find an emphasis on balance. For example, our Halal & Grassfed Beef Tallow is a natural oil production balancer. That means that whether you are oily or dry, the consistent use of tallow brings your skin’s oil production to a balanced state.
Now this doesn’t mean that different skintypes won’t respond slightly differently. In the above example, you would simply use less tallow (when it comes to the butters) if your skin is oiler, since it doesn’t need as much product at a time. We also often recommend are oily skin customers to try sheep tallow instead of beef, since sheep is a touch lighter and quicker to absorb.
How does this apply to our Halal and Grassfed/Grass-finished Tallow Soaps?
All our tallow soaps can be used on both the face and body. They have a base of either:
1) 100% Beef Tallow (rich, creamy, mild lather)
2) Mainly Beef Tallow with some Organic Olive & Castor Oil (silky feel on the skin, more bubbly lather)
To give our soaps an extra boost, we add natural clays, herbs, and botanical infusions which each have unique skin loving benefits. Each of these natural additives target a variety of skin concerns & skin types which we have broken down below:
