lard

I think I am finally done with lard even though I love my 45/22% Tallow/Lard and love the slow trace. Problem is, when I have a slow selling selling and smell an off smell in the soap it is always one with lard. Even my husband told me to stop using lard. :( It is not coming down with dos, just...

Hello, I've been making soap pretty infrequently, and all of my bars have a LOT of lard in them (at least 45%). I personally love lard as its the most moisturizing oil i can easily access, but my issue is that lard doesnt keep very long (a little less than a year) and a lot of people where i...

2 concerns here... I made soap with store-bought lard and it turned out great. I made the same recipe with lard I rendered myself from our pigs. It turned out hard, dry, and brittle, and very drying. Has anyone had this problem? Is there difference I'm not realising between home made and...

I have just started out making soap. So far, I have made one batch of 100% coconut soap with 20% superfat a few days ago. That was really fun and easy. Some people seem to love that soap, others have reported that it still dries out their skin, despite the 20% SF. So I would like to try another...

Last year I tried my first batch of soap and turned out with a slightly saponified jar of lard, or so it appeared. I had trouble finding instructions that covered all my variables: esp. using homemade lye crystals and lard. Here are some questions I have: I boiled my leachate from the...

I am wondering if I can use pure lard from the grocery store that has bha, bht, and citric acid to make soap? Is there a different type of lard that is better? http://tenderflake.ca/product/pure-lard/

While waiting for my first CP soap to finish the 48 hrs hibernation under a couple of heavy bath towels, I decided to follow someone's suggestion for substituting lard for palm oil. I was wanting to create a recipe that would be slow to trace so I could try my hand at more than one color in the...

So, lets talk about lard ! I never got around to soaping with lard, but I was surprised to see how many soapers loooooove looooove loooooooove lard soaps and rave about the creaminess and benefits on human skin. It seems to be in one of the best loved soaping ingredients by soapers...

Hi everyone, When I made my first soap it was an all lard 1lb batch which I scented with tea tree (from a well known book). It turned out well, as in it made soap(!) and I set off on my soap making journey. Some weeks into the cure a couple of the bars developed DOS so that immediately put...

Interested in purchasing a bulk quantity of plain lard-based soap bars Greetings, I live in Minneapolis, MN and am interested in purchasing a large quantity of lard-based unscented soap. Ideally the soap would contain nothing more than lard and lye. Also, would be nice if you lived nearby...
