Why I Fell in Love with Handmade Tallow Soap (and Then Couldn't Stop!)
There’s something truly magical about making soap by hand—especially when it’s tallow soap. I started this journey simply because I wanted a creative hobby that felt both meaningful and fun. What hooked me right away? The thrill of cutting into each fresh loaf of soap and discovering exactly how it turned out. Spoiler alert: it’s never exactly the same twice!
Each bar is like a little surprise wrapped in creamy lather. Sometimes the colors swirl in ways I didn’t plan, sometimes the texture surprises me—and honestly, sometimes those “mistakes” turn into my favorite creations. It’s a little bit like life: unpredictable, imperfect, and absolutely beautiful.
But why tallow? Tallow is often a discarded beef product, something many might overlook. By using tallow, I feel like I’m honoring the whole animal, making sure nothing goes to waste. It’s a way to respect the life that was given, and in my opinion, that matters.
On top of that, tallow is packed with natural nourishing properties and vitamins that are incredible for the skin. It creates a creamy, moisturizing lather that feels like a hug for your skin. Because tallow’s molecular makeup is so similar to our own skin, it’s gentle and safe for nearly every sensitive skin type—something you just don’t get with a lot of other products out there.
As my love for soap making grew, I naturally expanded into other tallow products. I wanted to share that same warmth and passion with others—something real and handmade that carries a bit of my heart in every batch.
So, whether it’s soap or balm, every product is a little piece of my creativity and love, made just for you. And trust me, I can’t wait for you to unwrap the surprise.
