Our handcrafted soap bars are carefully formulated so that you don't get that tight feeling after washing your parts! You work hard.... your soap shouldn't make your skin feel over worked too! They are not vegan! We use beef tallow as one of our ingredients that we render down ourselves. We proudly use it as it makes for a very nourishing and hard bar.... PLUS we make use of something that would of ended up in the garbage. Sometimes - you gotta go back to basics when your skin just isn't happy...... it's dry.... itchy and irritated. Sometimes you gotta go back to the beginning and switch out your soap or body wash to something that nourishes, moisturizes and doesn’t strip your skin of all its natural occurring oils.
