Description
Each soap has a different pattern - so it will be a nice surprise of what exact soap you'll get.
A soap for purists: 100% tallow (The fat came from a farm here in the Marlborough Sounds and was rendered by us - we do render all our tallow ourselves).
I developed a specialised recipe to enhance the lather of this 100% tallow soap.
In contrast to my other 100% Tallow soap with Essential Oil, this soap is made with Fragrance Oil (French Lavender) and with mica for a more intense purple colour.
Soap ingredients:
Saponified fats: 100% Tallow. Water, Glycerine*, Fragrance Oil, Citric Acid, Sugar
Fragrance Oil: French Lavender
French Lavender (Zen Aroma)
Lavender bouquet enhanced by clary sage, patchouli and rosemary.
*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.

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. |
| Micas | are natural mineral-based pigments that are used to add colour and shimmer to soap. They come in various shades and are often used to create visually appealing and decorative patterns in soap bars. Micas are safe for use in cosmetics and soap because they do not contain synthetic dyes or harmful chemicals, making them a popular choice for adding vibrant and eye-catching colour. |
| Fragrance Oils | The fragrances we use come from reputable sources and are phthalate-free. (Phthalates are synthetic chemicals sometimes used in fragrances, and they have been linked to potential health concerns such as allergies, skin irritation, and even disruptions to hormonal balance.) |
