Fat Ash Lavender Bar Soap

Fat Ash Lavender Bar Soap

Scented with 100% pure lavender essential oil.

Our soap is NOT perfect.  Every batch is hand-poured.  Every bar is hand-cut.  You will find tiny specks in your bar.  We filter our fats with cheesecloth just like they did in the old days.  Our wood molds are covered with wool blankets after they are poured to ensure a slow cooling process.  This soap is made from time-tested methods and old-fashioned ingredients.  We have several years of experience producing soap with our own homemade filtered hardwood ash lye.   We wanted to know exactly how soap was crafted for hundreds of years.   We chose to use modern food grade lye which is far superior and available in great quantities for our finished product.  The recipe includes lard for intense conditioning, beef tallow for a firm, long-lasting bar and coconut oil for rich lather.  Instead of purchasing commercial lard and tallow from big producers, we chose to render our own from small, local farms.  Why do we go to this extent?  Because small farms value their livestock and treat them humanely.  We are soap-maker’s with a conscience.  The supply is limited and there may be times when we are unable to meet demand.  A great product is worth waiting for and we promise not to stray from our core values.  Added to an already fabulous soap is the old-tyme Victorian favorite, 100% pure calming  lavender essential oil.  Raise it up and breath in,  drift back to yesteryear and dream of days not so far away, they are still here, still close, still simple.

+ You will not find any dyes or other unnecessary ingredients in our soaps.
