If it is pure lard the brand shouldn't matter. I use 100% lard for my laundry bars and do them with zero percent superfat and they work fabulous. So far my laundry bars are the only soaps that I hot process an they grate and grind into such a fine powder that when I make my laundry powder you can't tell what is my soap vs the borax and washing soda, it is just a perfect fine all white powder.
