We are amazed by how many customers love these humble soaps! Our Unscented Tallow Soaps are pure and basic, free of anything toxic or questionable. It is the kind of soap your great grandmother would have made in her own kitchen.

No ingredient is more traditional for soap making than tallow. Including olive oil and castor oil in our formula lowers the overall cleansing number while increasing bubbles. This makes for a milder, more luxurious soap!

About Soap Making

Curious about the chemistry behind soap making? “Saponification” refers to the chemical reaction between fat and lye that results in the formation of glycerin and soap. Saponification occurs when, first, three molecules of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are dissolved in water (H2O) and are split apart, which results in three sodium ions (Na) and three hydroxyl groups (OH). Second, a triglyceride (fat) molecule (C3H5(COOR)3) is split apart through hydrolysis, which results in a free glycerol (C3H5) and three fatty acid tails (COOR). Third, the hydroxyl groups all bond to the free glycerol to form a molecule of glycerin. Fourth, the three fatty acids each bond with one of the three sodium ions to form three molecules of soap (3NaCOOR). When the ingredients have completed the saponification process, one molecule of glycerin will be present for each three molecules of soap; no molecules of lye (sodium hydroxide) remain in the soap—they have all been split apart and used to form the soap molecules and glycerin.
