Frequently Asked Questions
-
Tallow is a time-honoured skincare ingredient made from rendered beef fat. Long before modern skincare existed, it was valued for its ability to create rich, nourishing soaps that cared for the skin.
At Tallow Me Softly, we use carefully rendered tallow to create handcrafted soaps with a luxurious creamy lather, excellent longevity, and a skin-loving feel. Every bar is made in small batches with quality ingredients, combining traditional craftsmanship with beautiful scents and thoughtful design.
-
Many people find tallow-based soap gentle and nourishing. However, everyone's skin is different, so we always recommend patch testing if you have particularly sensitive skin or known allergies. Please contact me for custom formulation soap.
-
Tallow has been used in traditional skincare for generations and is valued for its rich, nourishing qualities. It naturally contains vitamins A, D, E and K, along with fatty acids that help support and protect the skin's natural moisture barrier.
Because the composition of tallow is similar to the oils naturally found in our skin, many people find it leaves their skin feeling soft, hydrated and comfortable without feeling overly greasy.
At Tallow Me Softly, we use carefully selected grass-fed tallow as the foundation of our soaps, creating a rich, creamy lather and a gentle cleansing experience that many customers love.
As every skin type is unique, we always recommend checking ingredients and patch testing first if you have particularly sensitive skin or known allergies.
