Ugly Heart Tallow Soap

Original price was: $9.00.Current price is: $5.00.

Ugly Heart Tallow Soap is the real deal with a little character flaw — a cosmetically imperfect heart-shaped bar made from the same grass-fed tallow formula as the regular lineup, discounted because it didn’t come out looking picture-perfect. The soap is identical. The price isn’t.

  • 100% grass-fed beef tallow — same formula as the full-price bars
  • Heart-shaped bar — seconds with cosmetic imperfections only
  • Very hard, long-lasting bar with a creamy low-suds lather
  • Unscented — no fragrance or essential oils
  • Palm-free formula, made in small batches by hand
Soap Profile: • Very Hard Bar • Creamy Low Suds Lather • Mild Cleansing • Palm-Free Formula

Ugly Heart Tallow Soap

Not every bar comes out of the mold looking like a product photo. Edges crack, tops sink, colors swirl somewhere they weren't supposed to go, or the heart shape just doesn't cooperate the way it did in the last batch. The soap itself is fine — same formula, same ingredients, same cure time, same bar you'd otherwise pay full price for. It just doesn't look the part.

That's what Ugly Heart Tallow Soap is. A 100% grass-fed beef tallow bar — three ingredients, cold process, the same formula that has been made here from the beginning — sold at a discount because something about the appearance didn't meet the standard for a full-price listing. The imperfection is cosmetic. The soap is not.

The bar is very hard and long-lasting, with the creamy, low-suds lather that tallow produces naturally. It's unscented and uncolored — or whatever it was supposed to be before the batch had other ideas. Mild cleansing. Palm-free. Made in small batches.

If you've been wanting to try a tallow bar without committing to full price, this is a reasonable place to start. If you already know you love tallow soap and just want more of it for less, this is also a reasonable place to be.

The heart shape is still there, more or less. It's just having a rough day.

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.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

• 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.

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.

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: 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.
