What Is Beef Tallow Soap?

Understanding Soap from Beef Fat

Beef tallow soap is made from rendered beef fat that’s purified and blended with lye through saponification. It creates a hard, long-lasting bar rich in skin-loving fats and free from synthetic fillers.

How It Compares to Other Soaps

Unlike commercial soaps loaded with detergents, beef fat soap delivers a creamy, non-stripping lather. It’s eco-conscious and minimizes waste by using animal byproducts efficiently.

Key Benefits of Beef Tallow Soap
