Dandelion & Tallow Soap

Intention: Face & Body Soap

A gentle and moisturizing face and body soap that feels perfect for dry and/or sensitive skin. 

Bars are all over 3 oz 

Ingredients: Rice Bran Oil, Water, Babassu Oil, Tallow, Sodium Hydroxide, Sunflower Oil, Castor Oil, Dandelion Leaf, Vitamin E Oil, Alcohol, Turmeric, Amber Essential Oil

Why We Chose These Ingredients:

• Rice Bran Oil - antioxidants; emollient;  improves skin moisture
• Babassu Oil - From the seed of a South American palm tree.  Babassu is regarded for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It is super moisturizing for hair and skin.
• Water - used in the soap making process with lye
• Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) - a caustic/alkaline reagent that, when mixed with fats and water,  will react (saponify) to create soap. Once cured, a properly made bar of soap will have no lye left in it when finished: it has been converted into soap.
• Tallow - traditional fat used in soap making that is rendered from healthy pasture-raised cows from rural WNY; high oleic, palmitic and stearic acids; is very similar to our skin sebum/fa
• Dandelion - detoxing and clarifying for skin; many minerals and vitamins; reportedly good for treatment of acne (antibacterial), dark spots (high Vitamin C), and wrinkles (stimulates collagen and elastin production). Hey, it's worth a shot, right
• Sunflower Oil - rich in fatty acids and vitamin E, conditioning
• Castor Oil - ability to draw impurities out of skin, provides moisture, antibacterial
• Vitamin E Oil - nourishing and healing
• Turmeric - Added for a dash of color and its anti-inflammatory properties
• Amber Essential Oil - just a little because it smells so nice

Use: Use as a full body soap; great for all skin types and/or sensitive skin. Please note that soaps high in Tallow do not produce many suds.
