Lard

A time-honored soap ingredient with a history spanning centuries, lard continues to find its place in contemporary soap crafting alongside other nourishing oils. In the realm of cold process soap making, soaps derived from lard are recognized for providing hardness and a creamy lather to bars and for their gradual tracing, affording artisans extended working periods with their soap blend. This characteristic proves particularly advantageous in the execution of advanced soap making techniques.

It's important to note that some people may choose not to use lard due to personal or ethical reasons, as it is an animal-derived product. In such cases, there are various plant-based alternatives available.

The lard we sell is a refined, deodorized baking lard supplied by a Canadian food oil provider. As is typical for products in the food industry, it includes commonly used food preservatives.
