First soap made with lard

[Candybee]

Nice job on your swirls and color combo! I bet it smells wonderful! I had the fortune to use a lard recipe when I first started making CP soap. To this day I still make lard soaps (and tallow!) and love them. Most people don't know this but lard is a non-comodegenic oil so it won't clog your pores. Skin loves it and responds well to it.

I love lard soap. I recently made a 1 lb test batch of lard and Greek yogurt and it is devine. Even hubby thinks so, which is huge. Now, I'm neither scientist nor chemist, and i don't play one on tv, but it makes sense that lard being animal fat would be a gentle option for human skin.

Thank you! I used a green chromium oxide for the green and then I used titanium dioxide for the white. I am still waiting for it to completely cure but I can't wait to try it!!

It always suprises customers when I tell them lard is non-comedogenic

That's good to know! I didn't know that lard was non comedogenic. Thanks for the info!
