Lemon & Calendula: Face & Body Bar

Not All Soaps Are Created Equal! Here's Why Our Soaps Are The Best:

Nourishing and Natural Ingredients

• Pure and Simple: Made from only pure tallow, botanical oils, natural clays and essential oils; our soap is free from synthetic fillers, chemicals, and artificial ingredients commonly found in commercial soaps.
• Rich in Nutrients: Tallow is packed with skin-loving vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as essential fatty acids and minerals that deeply nourish and repair the skin. Our soap actually has the power to hydrate and rejuvenate your skin, leaving your skin surprisingly soft after cleansing. Unlike synthetic soaps that strip your skin dry, our tallow bars maintain the skin's natural barrier, making them ideal for all skin types, including those who have sensitive skin or are suffering from eczema, psoriasis or other skin conditions.

Gentle on Skin

• Ideal for Sensitive Skin: Unlike commercial soaps with harsh detergents, fragrances, and preservatives, tallow soap is gentle, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive or eczema-prone skin.
• Non-Drying: Tallow mimics the skin's natural sebum, helping to lock in moisture and maintain a healthy barrier without stripping the skin.
  
  

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

• Zero Waste: Tallow is a sustainable ingredient, often sourced as a byproduct of ethical meat production, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
• Biodegradable: Free from harmful chemicals, your soap won’t pollute waterways or harm the environment.
  
  

Superior Hydration and Skin Benefits

• Long-Lasting Moisture: Tallow deeply penetrates the skin, providing long-lasting hydration and reducing the need for additional moisturizers.
• Healing Properties: Tallow contains anti-inflammatory and skin-repairing properties, helping to soothe irritation, scars, and minor skin conditions.
  
  

No Hidden Chemicals

• No Synthetic Surfactants: Many commercial soaps rely on synthetic foaming agents that can irritate the skin. Our soap provides a natural, creamy lather without any harsh chemicals.
• Free from Parabens and Sulfates: These common additives in commercial soaps are linked to skin irritation and potential health concerns.
  
  

Handcrafted with Care

• Artisanal Quality: Our soap is handmade in small batches, ensuring attention to detail and consistent quality.
• Unique Formula: Our recipes are crafted with care, focusing on maximum skin benefits rather than mass production.
  
  

Multi-Purpose Use

• Versatility: Our tallow soap can be used for the face, body and even shaving, eliminating the need for multiple products cluttering your shower space.
• Family-Friendly: Safe for all ages, from babies to adults, due to its pure and gentle nature.
  
  

Cost-Effective and Long-Lasting

• Value for Money: Our solid tallow soap bars are the hardest soap bars on the market and last significantly longer than both liquid soaps or mass-produced plant-based bar soaps. This is due to due to both tallows properties and our soaps long cure time (8 weeks). Our soaps are super-sized weighing in at over 150g. This bar should last for about 60 washes (2 months).
• Will save you money! Supermarket liquid soaps, face wash and shaving creams are priced between $10 - $30 each, you have to buy 3 separate bottles and they don't last very long! Our soaps are hand-crafted, locally made, non-toxic, super sized, long lasting, able to be used for everything and everyone and are much cheaper per wash.
• No Excess Packaging: Unlike liquid soaps in plastic bottles, your soap uses minimal and eco-friendly packaging.
  
  

Rich History and Tradition

• Time-Tested Skincare: Tallow has been used for centuries in traditional skincare practices due to its effectiveness and compatibility with the skin.
  
  

Ethically Made

• Transparency and Provenance: Our soaps are happily made by our small family and we source all our ingredients from New Zealand local businesses.
