Tallow - RBD
TLLW-3KG
A traditional component of natural soap with a legacy extending across centuries, tallow remains a valued element in modern soap production, coexisting with various other enriching oils. In the realm of cold process soap crafting, tallow-based soaps are acknowledged for imparting hardness and producing a creamy, stable lather in bars. Boasting a blend of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, tallow contributes to the hydrating characteristics of the soap, effectively helping prevent the skin from becoming dry after use.
It's important to note that some people may choose not to use tallow due to personal or ethical reasons, as it is an animal-derived product. In such cases, there are various plant-based alternatives available.
The tallow we sell is a soft, refined, bleached, deodorized baking tallow supplied by a Canadian food oil provider. As is typical for products in the food industry, it includes commonly used food preservatives.
Using Tallow in cold process soap making offers several benefits:
Hardness and Longevity: Tallow contributes to the hardness of soap, making it long-lasting and durable. This means your soap bar will hold its shape well and won't dissolve quickly.
Creamy Lather: Tallow soap tends to produce a creamy and stable lather. The lather is often described as rich and luxurious, providing a smooth and pleasant feel.
Moisturizing Properties: Tallow contains a blend of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids that can be beneficial for the skin. These fats help to moisturize and nourish the skin, helping leave it feeling soft and hydrated. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with dry or sensitive skin.
Hardness: Tallow contributes to the hardness of the soap bar. A harder soap bar tends to last longer and withstands moisture better, leading to a more durable product.
Historical Significance: For those interested in traditional or historical soap making, tallow has been a staple ingredient for centuries. Using tallow in soap making can be a nod to traditional methods and recipes.
Cost-Effective: Tallow is often more cost-effective than some specialty oils, making it an economical choice for soap makers, especially when crafting large batches.
