“I use this soap and the unscented tallow, and it has been healing my hands much better than synthetics found at the drugstore. The unscented soap and tallow balm are perfect for dry winter skin, I will be stocking up for this season :)”

“I love that when using this soap you see the ingredients infused into each bar. The entire Summer Solace product line has been such a lifeline for my itchy, allergy prone skin. It lathers up to a rich moisturizing foam that feels luxurious.”

Your feedback says it all! Hands down, we make the best tallow soap for the whole family.

Tallow Soap Has More Nutrients Than Other Soap

Grass-fed tallow is nutrient dense. It contains higher omega-7, omega-9, conjugated linoleic acid, and vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12 than plant-based fats – all these are essential to radiant, healthy skin.

Because the fat saturation content of beef tallow is more similar to human fat, the vitamins within it are also more bioavailable and readily absorbed.

In addition to its incredible moisturizing properties, tallow's abundant nutrient profile also makes it a natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant, helping to preserve your skin's natural beauty.
