I can't believe how long these soaps last in the shower...3x longer than my old name brand soap. And I love how my skin feels using 100% tallow soap.
~ Gordon G.
Best shampoo bar I’ve found yet!! And I have tried many!! What I love is that it’s nice and hard but with a very easy instant creamy lather. So I don’t feel like I’m using a quarter of the bar each time I wash. Other handmade bars seem to be very soft and have lots of little bits in them and they break down, get mushy and fall apart before I’m done with them. The scent is divine. My hair is clean but not stripped and that lasts for days where in the past my hair would quickly get greasy just a day after washing. Needless to say I think my search for the perfect bar has ended.
~ Pam S.
I love this lotion because my legs get really dry after shaving, and normal lotion burns when I put it on my freshly shaved legs. But with this bar, when I use it my legs become so soft without the burn. It’s so awesome!
~ Karrington S.
This lip balm isnt dry like others I've tried, it actually glides on like silk and keeps my lips moist without being greasy. Another five star product from HiVibes Collective, thanks!

Soap Saver Pad

It doesn't look like much. That's part of why it works so well.

The soap saver pad is a small, unassuming piece of flexible plastic with one clear job: keep the soap off the surface. Not propped up dramatically, not displayed — just lifted, slightly, enough to let water drain away and air get underneath. It's the kind of thing you stop noticing after the first day, and then notice its absence the moment you use a bar without it.

The open textured surface is what makes it effective. Water doesn't pool on it the way it does on a flat dish or a countertop edge — it drains through the gaps immediately, and air can circulate underneath the bar from the moment it's set down. That's the whole mechanism, and it's a reliable one. Soap that dries between uses holds its shape, maintains its firmness, and lasts considerably longer than soap that sits in its own moisture.

The material is flexible plastic — practical, easy to rinse clean, and resistant to the kind of soap residue buildup that can make natural materials harder to maintain over time. At 4.53" x 2.95" x 0.4", it fits neatly on a bathroom counter, inside a soap dish, or on a shower shelf without competing for space. The light grey color is neutral enough to disappear into any setting, which is exactly what a good utility piece should do.

If you already have a soap dish you like but it doesn't drain well, the pad sits inside it and solves the problem. If your shower shelf is flat and your soap keeps softening, the pad fixes that too. Simple, effective, and easy to keep clean.

  • Lifts soap above standing water for faster drying between uses
  • Open textured surface drains freely and promotes airflow
  • Made from flexible, easy-to-clean plastic
  • Compact size — 4.53" x 2.95" x 0.4" — fits most sinks, shelves, and soap dishes
  • Can be used inside an existing soap dish to improve drainage
  • Neutral light grey color suits any bathroom style
  • Helps extend the life of your bar with every use

Purely Crafted Handmade Soap

• Remove Botanicals: Some bars are adorned with dried botanicals for a natural finishing touch. Simply remove them before use to ensure a smooth, comfortable lather.

• Create a Rich Lather: Wet your hands, washcloth, or bath sponge and gently work the bar between your palms to build a creamy lather.

• Cleanse the Skin: Apply the lather to damp skin using gentle circular motions, allowing the soap to cleanse while you enjoy the natural aroma of essential oils.

• Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse with warm water until the skin feels clean and refreshed.

• Let Your Soap Dry Between Uses: To help extend the life of your bar, place it on a well-draining soap dish so it can dry fully between uses. If you don't have a soap dish, we have several options here.

• Explore Benefits: Due to labeling guidelines, we can’t make specific claims about the nourishing properties of our ingredients. However, we encourage you to explore the benefits of each ingredient and discover what works best for your skin!

• Naked & Natural: No parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates, no silicone, no SLS, no dyes, no artificial nonsense—just pure, skin-loving goodness.

• Beautifully Delicate: Natural colorants and essential oils are beautifully delicate—unlike synthetic dyes and fragrances, they tend to fade over time. That gentle fading is your proof it’s truly natural!

• Variations: Natural variations of color, design and shape occur with all handmade products.

• Longevity: For the richest color and scent experience, use your soap within a year. However, the longer the bar cures, the better the bar performs. A 10-year old bar might have lost its scent & color, but it will be the best soap you've ever used!

• Sensitivities: While our soaps are crafted with care and the best ingredients, some people are still sensitive to some natural ingredients. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Orders typically ship within 1–3 business days after your order is placed.

Shipping costs range from $5–$9, and US orders over $75 ship FREE. We ship via USPS (Priority & Flat Rate) and UPS Ground, depending on what works best for your order.

Delivery times vary based on the carrier and your location. All orders ship from Utah, USA.

Purely Crafted Shampoo & Conditioner Bars

Shampoo Bar Instructions– Lather the bar in your hands, then massage lather into scalp. Rinse and apply conditioner if desired.

Conditioner Bar Instructions– In the Shower: Wet the bar and glide it between your hands or directly onto your hair from roots to ends. Work through evenly, leave for 1–2 minutes, then rinse well.

As a Leave-In Conditioner - Lightly rub the wet bar onto the ends of damp hair. Distribute with fingers or a comb, then style as usual.

Keep it Happy! – Let your shampoo and conditioner dry between uses on a well-draining dish to make it last longer.

💡 Bonus Tip: Use the conditioner from roots to ends in the shower, but then use the conditioner again as a leave-in just on the ends.

• Explore Benefits: Due to labeling guidelines, we can’t make specific claims about the nourishing properties of our ingredients. However, we encourage you to explore the benefits of each ingredient and discover what works best for your skin!

• Naked & Natural: No parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates, no silicone, no artificial nonsense—just pure, hair-loving goodness.

• Ingredients: We’re always working to bring you the best, so ingredient lists may evolve! For the most up-to-date details, check the product packaging. See these links for detailed information on the ingredients we use: Syndet Ingredients

• Longevity: Properly store your shampoo & conditioner bars in a well-draining dish and allow to dry between uses.

• Fading: Natural colorants and essential oils are beautifully delicate—unlike synthetic dyes and fragrances, they tend to fade over time. That gentle fading is your proof it’s truly natural!

• Variations: Natural variations of color, design and shape occur with all handmade products.

Purely Crafted Lotion Bars

Warm the Bar – Warm the bar in your hands until it starts to melt.

Glide – Glide over your skin anywhere you need extra moisture.

Facial Pearl – This moisturizer is made of butters that melt immediately on contact with the skin. We recommend handling it lightly with fingers or using a piece of muslin or small towel to keep it from melting on your hands.

Sunscreen Protection – Use anywhere you need protection from the sun.

Insect Repellent – Use anywhere you need protection from biting insects.

Keep it Happy! – Keep your lotion bars out of direct sun or high heat. They will get soft and possibly melt over 95°F.

💡 Bonus Tip: If you are using a tallow lotion bar, moisten your skin, then glide the bar. The tallow will seal in the moisture. Tallow, itself, does not moisturize, only seals in moisture.

• Naked & Natural: No parabens, no sulfates, no phthalates, no silicone, no artificial nonsense—just pure, skin-loving goodness.

• Ingredients: We’re always working to bring you the best, so ingredient lists may evolve! For the most up-to-date details, check the product packaging. See these links for detailed information on the ingredients we use: Oils, Butters & Lye; Additives; Essential Oils & Fragrances; Colorants.

• Lotion Bar Properties: Due to labeling guidelines, we can’t make specific claims about the nourishing properties of our ingredients. However, we encourage you to explore the benefits of each ingredient and discover what works best for your skin!

• Fading: Natural colorants and essential oils are beautifully delicate—unlike synthetic dyes and fragrances, they tend to fade over time. That gentle fading is your proof it’s truly natural!

• Lotion Bar Texture: Your lotion bar should come to you as a solid smooth form. However, tallow has a lower melting point than most plant butters and therefore can easily be softened to the point that it may separate slightly from the other oils in the recipe. This may cause our bars to feel a little grainy. There is nothing wrong with the bar other than the texture. If you would like to remelt your lotion bar so it gets back to it's smooth texture, please follow the instructions below in the FAQs section.

• Variations: Natural variations of color, design and shape occur with all handmade products.

Purely Crafted Natural Deodorants

Note – If you have always used anti-perspirants in the past, give your body at least a month to transition to using just deodorant. Your body will perspire once you allow it and will detoxify your body. Once this transition takes place you will find the amount you perspire should decrease over time. If you find our deodorants do not cover body odor, look into taking a liquid chlorophyll supplement that will help you detoxify from the inside out.

Glide it on – Glide on your deodorant under your arms and anywhere else you need odor protection.

Activated Charcoal Deodorant – If you are worried about the activated charcoal staining your clothes, rub the deodorant into your skin after applying. This will help with unintentional transfer.

Tallow Deodorant – This deodorant is our best, every day use deodorant.

Sport Tallow Deodorant – This deodorant has more zinc oxide, so it helps the deodorant stay waterproof as well as give some SPF protection.

💡 Bonus Tip: Try all our varieties. You may find one works better than the other for your particular body, or you may love them all for different daily or recreational activities.

Purely Crafted Whipped Tallow

To Use – Moisten the dry areas of your skin. Scoop a small amount and warm between clean fingers. Gently massage into skin until fully absorbed. Tallow helps seal in the moisture.

Magnesium? – Magnesium calms the body. Use magnesium tallow at night, especially on restless legs and other areas that need extra care.

Keep it Happy! – Whipped Tallow is a "dry product" which means there is no water and therefore has no preservatives. Try to keep water out of the container by using dry fingers or a small makeup applicator to scoop the product out. On the other hand, the Magnesium Tallow does contain distilled water and uses a preservative, but its always a good idea to keep tap water, which could contain bacteria, away from it.

Although we have never seen mold in our whipped tallow, this would mean that bacteria was introduced into the container either by dirty or wet fingers. Remove the mold and store in the fridge to prolong the shelf life.

💡 Bonus Tip: Tallow itself, DOES NOT moisturize. It only locks in moisture. Thus, moisture is needed on the skin prior to applying the tallow. An easy way to do this is to apply to the body just after a shower or to the face just after washing.

Purely Crafted Lip Balms

Rub it on! – Open the tube and apply to lips.

Keep it Happy! – Keep your lip balm away from direct sunlight and from excessive heat (like in the car all day). Our lip balms have less anchoring waxes than commercial brands, so it may melt quicker than a commercial lip balm.

💡 Bonus Tip: Tallow, if melted, cools at a different temperature than other butters and oils. This is evident if your lip balm heats up, then cools with a grainy texture. To fix this, melt it again on purpose, by removing the balm from the container and warming up in a double boiler or microwave. Once melted (but not over 158°F), pour back into the container and place upright in the freezer until solid. This will force all the ingredients to cool at the same rate.

Handcrafted with Care Using the Cold Process Method

Our soaps are made using the traditional Cold Process Method. Lye (sodium hydroxide) is essential for turning oils and butters into soap—it's pure science! But don’t worry—once saponification is complete, there’s zero lye left in the final bars. We then allow the soap to cure for 4-6 weeks, ensuring a harder, long-lasting bar with a beautifully gentle cleanse.

Handcrafted with Care Using pH-balanced cleansers

Our shampoo bars are not lye-based soap since it is not pH-balanced for hair. Instead, our shampoo bars are Syndet Bars, made from cleansers derived from coconut (and occasionally palm). These cleansers are mild and pH-balanced, which does not strip your hair of its natural oils. Our bars leave your hair healthy and soft.

Handcrafted with Care Using Natural Ingredients

Our whipped tallows are lovingly handcrafted in small batches. Batches may be a different consistency than another depending on batch size, tallow consistency, liquid oils used, whether essential oils were added, amount of cooling time and whipping time. For a firmer consistency, keep refrigerated. For a lighter consistency, keep at a warmer temperature. If your whipped tallow melts or changes to a consistency you don't prefer, use the instructions below in the FAQs to rewhip it.

Handcrafted with Care

Our lip balms are lovingly handcrafted in small batches. Our lip balm recipes are tried & tested by real humans, not animals. As with most handcrafted products, our goal is to create a great product with great ingredients, not a product with ingredients that fit the bottom line's budget. We use only the highest quality ingredients and you may find the consistency different than lip balms that are all wax and no skin-loving oils. Try us, you will see the difference!

Soap FAQs

Soap that is properly cured (6 weeks or longer) and are kept out of standing water, will last just as long, if not longer, than commercial soap. Soap that not allowed to dry between uses will tend to get mushy or soft and will not last as long. Soap savers or soap dishes will help extend the life of your soap by keeping it out of standing water. If you don't have one, check out these: https://hivibescollective.com/product-details/product/soap-savers/

We use both natural colorants and skin-safe micas. We also use essential oils and phthalate-free fragrance oils. We used to be a "natural" only company. However, after much research, and from the preferences of my customers, I use the type of colorant and fragrance based on the goal of that soap. I do, however, only use micas that are skin-safe (the kind used in make-up) and fragrance oils that do not have cancer-causing ingredients.

Because many of our soaps are made with only natural ingredients, some fading of scent or color is completely normal. Essential oils are delicate and can evaporate as the soap cures or is stored, especially lighter scents like citrus. Likewise, natural colorants such as clays, herbs, and plant powders may soften in shade over time since they aren’t stabilized with synthetic dyes.

This gentle change doesn’t affect the quality or effectiveness of the soap—it’s simply part of the charm of using a truly natural product. To keep your bars at their best, we recommend storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

As with all "real" soap, lye (sodium hydroxide) is used to change the butters and oils into "soap". Without lye, all you would have is a bar of butters and oils. However, once the saponification process is complete (within the first 48 hours), no lye remains in the soap. What is left is only soap and glycerin.

Note: Some commercial soaps are made of synthetic detergents and use no lye. Dove bars are one example. Synthetic detergents are not bad, they just use man-made cleansers rather than the old-fashioned style of soap-making. (We use synthetic detergents in our shampoo bars because they are much gentler and more pH balanced for your hair.)

If you have sensitive skin, it's best to always test first. You will find that less ingredients may be better for sensitive skin rather than adding extras that may aggravate it. Look for our single-oil/butter soaps that are unscented, such as our Pure Tallow Soap or our Pure Lard Soap. Both of these are very mild and gentle on the skin without stripping any extra oils.

As an artist of handmade products, I can attest that we are not machines. We can't always do things exactly the same time, every time. This includes everything from the ingredient amounts to how many poppy seeds we drop on top. You will know its handmade when every bar you see has its own personality, it's own look.

Whereas, commercial soaps are made by machines and are produced exactly the same way every time. There is definitely consistency, but no artistry in commercial products.

As someone who thanks God for the wonderful products that come from animals, I tend to create soaps that use animal fats. However, I also realize people don't think the same way as I do or who have allergic reactions to animal fats. Once we started creating our soap making courses, I wanted to offer more variety to those who prefer plant-based soaps and skincare. Now we offer many vegan soaps and skincare items. If you don't see what you want or need in a vegan product, let us know!

In addition, being a small handcrafting business, our products are not tested on animals. We also try to find ingredient brands who share these same values.

Most of my soap recipes do not use Palm oil. However, you might see one or two soaps that do include it. When we do use Palm Oil, we buy sustainable palm oil that is certified RSPO. Palm oil is a well-known oil in soap because it creates a wonderfully rich lather that cleanses well and makes a hard bar of soap. We like to test different recipes and will not hesitate to offer a great bar of soap that includes RSPO palm oil. If a soap includes Palm oil, we will include it in the Soap Profile section as well as in the list of ingredients.

RSPO palm oil is palm oil that meets the rigorous sustainability standards set by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), a global non-profit organization. You can read more about the RSPO here: https://rspo.org/why-sustainable-palm-oil/

As a handcrafter, we try to use a more sustainable way of packaging our product. We do use plastic shrink wrap on some products, but our soap packaging is plastic-free.

Currently, we ship our soap with just the vellum label. 

We have used muslin bags to package our soap in the past and you may receive your soap in a bag as well as with a vellum label. The bag is cotton and you can even leave the soap in the muslin bag for a more exfoliating experience and to add more lather. In addition, you can reuse the muslin bag for your soap scraps so even the little bits of soap from other bars won't go to waste.

Sometimes trying new products, especially natural products that may work differently from commercial products, your body might start to detox and make change to your skin, hair, etc. Sometimes the change may be a negative one at first while your body adjusts to the new product. If this happens, don't immediately set aside the product. Your body may take a few days to a few weeks of use to work itself out and come to a balance.

However, if you are having an allergic reaction, discontinue use immediately and seek medical help, if needed. (Even natural ingredients have allergens that people can react with. Patch test first if you are worried about sensitives.)

If our product(s) just don't work for you after consistently using them for several weeks, or if you have an allergic reaction to one of our products, please contact us so we can discuss a refund or replacement of the item(s).

Yes! Law requires us to include the INCI name for our products that are considered cosmetics which is anything other than soap. Soap is not considered a cosmetic, so we don't include usually the INCI ingredient list. Whether we are required to include the INCI list or not, we always include the common name list so the ingredients are easily recognizable. 

We want you to know how each ingredient affects the final product, if just out of curiosity or allergy-related. We've compiled lists of each ingredient and what they bring to the table. Check them out here: Butters & Oils, Additives (special oils, etc.), Scents (essential oils & fragrance oils), and colorants (powders & clays). You will also find these links in our footer at the bottom of each page as well as in the drop-down menu. If you don't see a particular ingredient listed, let us know, and we will add it. You can also google the standard name or INCI name for a good snapshot of the ingredient and its uses.

Deodorant FAQs

Our full-size deodorants are 2.7 oz, which is the same size as most commercial deodorant products. They should last the same duration if used in the same way.

Yes, essential oils are used two-fold: to scent the deodorant as well as taking advantage of their anti-bacterial properties. Our unscented deodorants have no essential oils.

Fading of scent is completely normal since essential oils are delicate and can evaporate as the deodorant is stored and ages, especially lighter scents like citrus.

This gentle change doesn’t affect the quality or effectiveness of the deodorant—it’s simply part of the charm of using a truly natural product. To keep your deodorant at their best, we recommend storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

If you have sensitive skin, it's best to always test first. Our deodorant recipes exclude baking soda, a known ingredient that irritates some skin. We also offer unscented in all our deodorant versions.

As a handcrafter, we try to use a more sustainable way of packaging our product. However, cost of packaging prohibits us from offering cardboard tubing at this time. As we grow and are able to purchase in bulk, we would be able to get the price down to an acceptable amount. We also use plastic shrink wrap on our deodorant tubes to seal them prior to purchase.

Sometimes trying new products, especially natural products that may work differently from commercial products, your body might start to detox and make change to your skin, hair, etc. Sometimes the change may be a negative one at first while your body adjusts to the new product.

Lip Balm FAQs

Yes, we only use essential oils to scent our lip balms. Be aware, however, that grapefruit essential oil contains Bergapten, which has phototoxic qualities. This means your lips can become sensitive or burn from sunlight.

Fading of scent is completely normal. Essential oils are delicate and can evaporate as the lip balm is stored or ages, especially lighter scents like citrus.

This gentle change doesn’t affect the quality or effectiveness of the lip balm—it’s simply part of the charm of using a truly natural product. To keep your lip balms at their best, we recommend storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

If you have sensitive skin, it's best to always test first. We also offer unscented versions of our lip balms.

As an artist of handmade products, I can attest that we are not machines. We can't always do things exactly the same time, every time. This includes everything from the ingredient amounts to how it is poured in the container. You will know its handmade when every balm you see has its own personality, it's own look.

Whereas, commercial products are made by machines and are produced exactly the same way every time. There is definitely consistency, but no artistry in commercial products.

We are also looking for the very best ingredients and packaging available. Some packaging may look different than the product picture shows.

If you have sensitive skin, it's best to always test first. You will find that less ingredients may be better for sensitive skin rather than adding extras that may aggravate it. Look for our single-oil/butter soaps that are unscented, such as our Pure Tallow Soap or our Pure Lard Soap. Both of these are very mild and gentle on the skin without stripping any extra oils.

As someone who thanks God for the wonderful products that come from animals, I tend to create soaps & skincare that use animal fats. However, I also realize people don't think the same way as I do or who have allergic reactions to animal fats. I try to offer something for everyone. We offer 2 versions of lip balm; one with Tallow and one without. However, both our recipes include beeswax.

In addition, as a small handcrafter, none of my products are tested on animals.

As a handcrafter, we try to use a more sustainable way of packaging our product. However, cost of packaging prohibits us from offering cardboard tubing at this time.

Shampoo & Conditioner FAQs

Shampoo and conditioner bars can last 50-100 uses depending on the length/thickness of your hair and how well you take care of your bars. Bars that not allowed to dry between uses will tend to get mushy or soft and will not last as long. Soap savers or soap dishes will help extend the life of your shampoo and conditioner by keeping it out of standing water. If you don't have one, check out these: https://hivibescollective.com/product-details/product/soap-savers/

All of our shampoo and conditioner bars have ingredients that our hair loves including essential oils and natural colorants like mango powder and clays.

I have sensitive skin and have had to alter my formula to accommodate my sensitivities. If you have sensitive skin, it's best to always test first. Then let us know if you have a sensitivity to our shampoo or conditioner bars. We love feedback so we can make the very best possible product for you. 

As an artist of handmade products, I can attest that we are not machines. We can't always do things exactly the same time, every time.

As someone who thanks God for the wonderful products that come from animals, I tend to create soaps that use animal fats. However, our shampoo and conditioner bars do not have any animal fats or beeswax in them. Please check the ingredient list of the bars for things that might not work for you. Most of the surfactants used are coconut-derived.

In addition, as a small handcrafter, none of my products are tested on animals.

No. Our shampoo bars are "Syndet Bars". That stands for "Synthetic Detergents". They are much more mild than lye soap as well as pH balanced for your hair. The synthetic detergents are mostly coconut-derived.

As a handcrafter, we try to use a more sustainable way of packaging our product. We also offer you a couple options for packaging:

  1. We package them in coffee filter paper with the labeling on the inside & outside of the paper.
  2. We offer aluminum tins for easy travel at an additional cost. The labeling will be inside and outside of the tin. We use plastic shrink wrap to seal the tins as a precaution.

Lotion Bar FAQs

It all depends on how often you use your lotion bar. It will last longer if you keep it from melting.

Yes, we use only the best butters, tallow, oils and essential oils that your skin loves. We research and use butters and oils that have positive effects on our skin.

Yes. But if you if you have sensitive skin, make sure to do a patch test just to be sure.

As an artist of handmade products, I can attest that we are not machines. We can't always do things exactly the same time, every time. This includes everything from the ingredient amounts to how full we fill the molds. You will know its handmade when every bar you see has its own personality, it's own look.

Our sunscreen has 25% non-nano zinc oxide. In order for us to claim a certain SPF, we must have them tested by a lab. Since we are a small company, we don't have the resources to pay for testing. Do your research as well as test the bar for yourself to conclude the effectiveness for you and your family.

Yes! If your lotion bar warmed up to a point where the tallow got a little grainy, follow the instructions below:

Step 1: Find a suitable mold for your lotion bar. The best kind is silicone, but a plastic mold would work as well. The shape doesn't matter unless you want to continue keeping your bar in the original tin. Some good sizes would include a muffin mold, silicone cupcake liner or chocolate mold. You could also use a small glass jar as a mold. Just make sure if using glass or plastic to wipe the inside with olive oil first so it releases easily.

Step 2: Cut up the lotion bar into small pieces.

Step 3: In a double boiler, warm the pieces until they are completely melted. Try not to let it get over 225°F.

Step 4: Pour the oil into your mold. Place the mold in the freezer for 30-60 minutes.

Step 5: Pop out the lotion bar and let sit at room temperature for a day or two before using.

Whipped Tallow FAQs

Tallow isn't like regular lotion; only a small amount is needed for each application. A small 2 oz container will last one person quite a while. However, it does depend on if you are only using it on your face as opposed to your entire body.

Yes, we use only essential oils to scent and clays to color, both of which are good for the skin. We also offer Unscented to those who may have skin sensitivities, for children, or those who prefer unscented skincare.

Fading of scent or color is completely normal. Essential oils are delicate and can evaporate as the whipped tallow sits, especially lighter scents like citrus. Likewise, natural colorants such as clays, herbs and plant powders may soften in shade over time since they aren’t stabilized with synthetic dyes.

This gentle change doesn’t affect the quality or effectiveness of the whipped tallow—it’s simply part of the charm of using a truly natural product. To keep your whipped tallow at its best, we recommend storing it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Well, it could smell like nothing, but it could have a faint beefy smell or my favorite, a buttery smell. It all depends on how the tallow was rendered, but also what breed of cow it came from and whether it was grass- or grain-finished. (Some say that grass-finished tallow has a beefier smell than grain-finished tallow and therefore, the "better" tallow is the "smellier" one). But in the end, the quality of the tallow is not necessarily reflected by the smell or lack, thereof.

Currently, we render local tallow ourselves for our whipped tallow and other skincare products, but find that our tallow is not necessarily milder smelling than tallow we've sourced from suppliers for our soaps. Some suppliers deodorize their tallow, which is another process that also removes many of the vitamins and minerals that are present in tallow, so we try to stay away from them, even for soap making.

If you have an aversion to the beef smell, we encourage you to stick with our scented whipped tallows which cover any scent that may exist. Our vanilla-infused tallow is our personal favorite and has a wonderful aroma that will not fade over time.

If you have sensitive skin, it's best to always test first. You will find that less ingredients may be better for sensitive skin rather than adding extras that may aggravate it. Look for our unscented versions of whipped tallow, which are also not colored with any clays. We also recommend the unscented varieties when using the product on children.

As an artist of handmade products, I can attest that we are not machines. We can't always do things exactly the same time, every time. This includes everything from the ingredient amounts to how much fits in the jar. You will know its handmade when every bar you see has its own personality, it's own look.

Whereas, commercial tallow products are made by machines and are produced exactly the same way every time. There is definitely consistency, but no artistry in commercial products.

As a handcrafter, we try to use a more sustainable way of packaging our product. Glass is not porous and will not leach chemicals into our tallow balms like a plastic jar would. Sometimes we use plastic containers for samples or if someone places a custom order and wants to save a few bucks. We do, however, use plastic shrink wrap to seal the lids on the jars for protection and there is a plastic insert inside the metal lid. In the future, we may switch our jars to sustainable, recyclable plastic jars if glass is breaking during shipment or if shipping heavier glass gets cost prohibitive for our customers.

Sometimes trying new products, especially natural products that may work differently from commercial products, your body might start to detox and make change to your skin, hair, etc. Sometimes the change may be a negative one at first while your body adjusts to the new product. If this happens, don't immediately set aside the product. Your body may take a few days to a few weeks of use to work itself out and come to a balance.

No, tallow is beef fat. But, just like all our other products, our whipped tallows are not tested on animals.

For Regular Whipped Tallow

Whipped Tallow products have a low melting point. If your product is heated over 80°F your tallow may lose its whipped consistency and become more of a solid balm or have a grainy texture. It does not affect the product in any way; only the consistency.

If this happens and you would like to bring it back to its original whipped consistency, follow these easy instructions:

1. Empty your tallow into a heat safe container.

2. Melt tallow in a double boiler until in a liquid state.

3. Place in freezer for a few minutes (just enough to cool and become a solid, but not so hard that it can't be whipped.

4. Using your hand mixer, blend your tallow until it incorporates enough air to reach the consistency you prefer.

5. Place back into original container.

6. Store in a cool, dry place or even the refrigerator if your climate is consistently warm.
