Old Fashioned Farm Crafted Lard Soaps
Have you ever used lard soap? Lard soaps yield a gentle cleansing action, soft and creamy lather and a bar that is hard and long-lasting. All soaps are hand poured, trimmed, beveled, polished and steam shined during the curing process.
All bars have natural variation in finish and color due to the nature of being handcrafted. My soaps are a traditional "fits in the palm of your hand" size, not cut from a loaf in a slab shape. The bars have beveled edges, so they are comfortable to hold and lather.

Old fashioned lard soap is made through a cold process, using lye, which creates a chemical reaction between the fat, yielding... soap. Contrary to popular belief, lye soap isn't harsh. Soap that is properly cured will not be drying or irritating to the skin. Lard is a fat most similar to the sebum produced by our own skin, making it gentle and suitable for sensitive or dry skin.
Soaps marked with an asterisk (*) denote a gender neutral fragrance. Despite having female names, my soaps have a wide range of scent profiles to meet the needs of even the most manly of men- don't let the names fool you, the soaps are all named after female Saints with the intent to educate and appreciate their history.
