Nefertem Naturals list ‘5 Reasons to Use Tallow on Your Skin’. Among them:
‘Tallow contains the same fats or lipids found in healthy, supple human skin. … Beef tallow, rendered from grass-fed cattle, is loaded with vitamins A, D; K and antioxidants. One of which is vitamin E, known to promote rejuvenation of the skin by fighting free radicals that can cause wrinkles.’
US-based Miriam’s Inspired Skin Care use beef tallow in their high-end products. Miriam says: ‘Importantly, tallow must be derived from grass-fed animals for it to have beneficial properties for skin’s health.’
That’s just what our ex-suckler cows have been fed on throughout their lives, grass and grass-derived silage. Furthermore, our cold process ensures the tallow properties are retained. So try our soap, think of the good it is doing to your skin and the planet. We haven’t had to import olive oil from the Med to make it, let alone cut down a rainforest and transport palm oil halfway round the world. Go for natural or try our essential oil fragrances.
Going back into history, animal fats were the basic natural ingredient of soaps the world over. Pork fat was the cheapest, with beef tallow a step up. In the US, one of the marks of ‘homesteaders’ is making their own soap.

I have an autoimmune condition and became very desperate three years ago. I since eliminated all added chemicals from my life. I only eat meat and eggs, I avoid cleaning products as they are all a con. I make my own toothpaste and this soap fits my lifestyle perfectly. I have had a hard time finding a tallow soap supplier but this is great. In the past humans would have relied heavily on animal products for so many things, Back then things like obesity and cancer were not so prevalent. Tallow matches our PH levels perfectly so you cannot get a better product than tallow.

Amazing, I already have noticeably clearer skin and it has only been a week. I really appreciate being sent another ‘thank you soap’ for free.

Hello Gret Alders. Are you going to produce more lavender and vanilla bars soon? I Hope so as they are absolutely fantastic.
admin (store manager) –
Thanks, Jacqueline. That’s really appreciated. We are lambing right now but Judy is aiming to produce both. Lavender will be in a day or so’s time. The vanilla is very demanding as it sets incredibly fast, leaving little working time. Both need 4 weeks to cure after that!

Having now used both the lavender and lemon fragrance soaps I find the scent so minimal that it’s almost undetectable, however the smell of the tallow is detectable. Theses soaps create a lovely lather, and I’ve even shaved my face with them irritation free and with reasonable ‘cushioning’ of the razor against the skin. After bathing or shaving the initial tallow smell disappears leaving a silk-like beautifully moisturized skin texture. -A great product

Thank you for your feedback which we really appreciate. The lemon fragrance is usually quite a light note and seems to disappear fast. The Lavender scent is usually stronger and lasts longer so will look into it again. Thanks again.

I normally go for the unscented, but there wasn’t any in stock the day I ordered so I tried the peppermint instead — I am in love! Will definitely get the peppermint again next time!

The soap is very effective and does not leave a residue on the skin! I have never used tallow soap before, but was very pleased, the fragrance was not over powering, but pleasant and the feeling refreshing after the shower! Great soap, it compliments all of the other great products from Grey Alders!

BEST SOAP EVER! If you have sensitive skin, this is the way to go — it moisturises and doesn’t irritate or smell too strong. I’ve been unable to find anything better.

Sabon wych! Hollol naturiol.
Such a natural product. I rarely need to use hand and body lotion as it is so gentle and soothing.

This is by far the best soap I have ever used. After 1 months if use, I don’t need skin cream as skin is soft and feels moisturised. I only wish it was made in bigger bars. Lavender and vanilla scents are incredible.
