Hi Thomas I am also going to make Tallow Soap...well that is the plan at least. I just ordered the tallow so we shall see what the stars have in store for me soon. I do not plan on using any exotic oils, any synthetic fragrances and/or additives etc. Just plain simple soap ;) Jump in shower get...

Nice to meet you and best of luck in making some awesomeness out of that jug!

I always found them to be interesting myself. Well I'm a newbie here too and looking to make some natural soap since I am sensitive to so much and so sort of the same reason as you in a way ;) Nice to meet you and cheers to us and hope we both have good luck learning the way and mastering the...

Think I probably should do a little intro on myself since I been on the forum and jumping in like I'm a oldie here :lol: these last few days. So hello from over here in frozen Illinois. I live in Pekin, IL which is just a hop and skip over from the more well known city of Peoria, IL. Married to...

To me they look twice the size of a 'normal' bar. I think it is appealing to the eye too but if they was to be chopped in half I think it would have the same eye appeal but be easier to use. I have a hard time holding onto things as is so I would probably not buy it again if it made it harder...

I emailed them two days ago with a question about their tallow and am yet to hear back. I live in IL too and not really that far from them and we are preparing for a big winter storm again in a day or two. Its freakin freezing here though brrr. I type as I am snuggled in bed under a nice warm...

Thank you guys :D

LOL well let me know how it goes. You reminded me I needed to submit my order for the tallow too. Guess I better get upstairs and get my purse and get that order off...I completely forgot I never completed my checkout until now lol. :oops:

Here is the link I saw it on: http://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2014/01/tallow-emergency-candles.html

Oh crap...I just posted this same question then saw someone already asked. I can across a tutorial where the person made emergency candles out of tallow...they just melted it and poured it into glass jars that were already wicked. They did not mention why type of wick they used...just what they...

Has anyone ever made these or used them? I am curious to hear your experiences with them. I am ordering some tallow to make soap and came across a emergency candle tutorial on making tallow candles. You basically melt down the fat and pour it into a jar lol...seems easy right ;) I can burn water...

WSP is sold out of the powder pigments I wanted to order so where is a good place to order oxides and pigments at? I live in IL. I only want natural dye...although most pigments are not true earth based they are chemically identical to the natural earth found ones from what I understand. I...

Interesting so you are saying Emu oil is used in a lot of the transdermal patches? I never knew that. I am allergic to so many so I had to be taken off them. Although I do not think it has to do with the Emu oil and I think it has to do more with the adhesive than anything. Even the generic...

Is lard and tallow used interchangeable? I mean is one better than the other? I decided to make myself animal oil based soaps and my first go to was lard but have flipped to tallow. Can someone tell me the difference between lard and tallow besides the animal fat is came from? If you had a...

What is a good oil to add to tallow that is not nut based? I was thinking just a 100% tallow soap and super fatting with hemp seed oil. I am only throwing this out there as I saw a post from a few years ago in my research reading along today that 100% lard and supper fatting makes a perfect...

EMU Oil is used in many pain rubs since the oils allows the other components to mm lets say ride along with it as the EMU oil is be more easily absorbed into the skin goes to a much more deeper level than any of the other additives such as lets say peppermint eo can go alone. Does that make...

Think maybe HP instead is my way to go? After some serious soul searching I have came to the conclusion that I need to just put all my fears and worries aside and just make Tallow HP soap. From my hours of research...I actually only slept a few hours from last night to now :-| since my eyes and...

It also helps pain...its a natural anti-inflammatory supplement ;) I never knew it could help with other issues. My husband has high cholesterol so that is good to know it can help there too ;) Glad it worked for your hubby ;)

I LOVED this post and you re-inspired me...I had my vision and thought well I'm the odd one out after reading all these post for about 3 hours or more now...but, after reading your words I was like why am I going to throw my vision away and follow the 'norm'??? I need to follow my original...

What benefit does the active charcoal give one?
