100% (organic) Tallow with infused Turmeric + Ginger, no added fragrance - Garden
Unscented / No added fragrance.
Description
No added fragrance.
100% tallow (The fat came from an organic farm here in the Marlborough Sounds and was rendered by us - we do render all our tallow ourselves).
I infused the tallow with organic turmeric and ginger powder.
I developed a specialised recipe to enhance the lather of this 100% tallow soap.
Please be aware that natural colours do fade after a while, so might not look as bright and crisp as on the photo.
The tallow that I use for the soaps is organic, but it's not officially certified. The farm I get it from used to be certified, but they now planted heaps of native trees on their property (because they are very environmentally conscious). Unfortunately they needed to spray roundup in these places (not on their paddocks, where the animals graze though) and therefore lost their organic certification.
I use tallow from our own sheep as well (which are organically kept - no chemicals involved), but again, we are not certified.
Soap ingredients:
Saponified fats: 100% Organic Tallow (infused with organic turmeric and ginger powder).
Water, Glycerine*, Citric Acid, Sugar
*Please note that I don't put any extra glycerine into the soap - this is just the glycerine that is created naturally during the soap making process.
According to NZ labelling rules the final ingredients of a product have to be listed.
Properties of oils / materials used:
| Tallow | Provides excellent hardness to soap for long-lasting bars. Produces a creamy lather with good cleansing properties. Contains skin-friendly vitamins A, D, E, and K. Natural antioxidants help protect the skin. All our tallow originates from pasture-raised beef and sheep in the Marlborough Sounds, sourced directly from farms and rendered by us to ensure the best quality. |
| Citric acid | in your soap serves a dual purpose. It helps your soap perform well in hard water by preventing mineral build up, ensuring a rich lather. Additionally, it acts as a natural preservative, extending the soap's shelf life for a longer-lasting product you'll enjoy. |
| Sugar | Added to soap recipes to increase lather and bubbles. Acts as a natural humectant, attracting moisture to the skin. |
| Turmeric and ginger, both powerful antioxidants, add a warm colour and a unique scent to our soap. These ingredients have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and skincare for their potential anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating properties. | |
