Something I read about using tallow/lard in soap - and from a vegetarian no less- is that it shows honor to the animal that a part normally sent to garbage is used to make something so beautiful and useful. Loved the video and will give your soap a try. Thanks!

Thanks for watching the video. Regarding honoring the animal, I never knew that. Wonderful and enlightening piece of information to share with others as the opportunity becomes available.

Thank you for watching the video. I like tallow a lot, it can be soothing very dry, itchy skin.

Just adding a comment to boost your video! Thanks for sharing your process! I haven't made soap in a while because the last cp soaps I made (about 5 pounds of soap!) accelerated on me so badly... LOL! I had soap on a stick in about 3 SECONDS after I added my fragrance. I was so discouraged. But I was able to rebatch it into something quite lovely. I felt better after that. I've been looking into hot process soap to see if it would be a better method of creating fragranced soap. I'd like to keep my product(s) as natural as possible, and I'm wondering if hot process would be the way to go? On a positive note: I also learned that my rotary style, hand crank, cheese grater worked like a dream to shred my failed soap batches. Yay! It ended up being a lavender colored, fig scented, soap. It lathers so nicely. I don't think it's a sellable product because it looks too rustic - for my brand/packaging, but next time... I think I could create something that's sellable. I wonder if rebatching my soap and THEN adding my fragrance would be a way to preserve the fragrance?? I'm gonna try a rebatched soap and see what-all happens. Thanks for sharing your technique with us. I use lard to make lots of stuff, that's why I'm called "This Little Piggy" ... LOL! I haven't had a chance to use tallow. Don't mind the haters that leave nasty comments about using animal fats. ~With Love, Sabrina

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video, it is appreciated. My apologies for the delay in responding. I have been a bit under the weather. Good to hear about your re-batching success , doesn’t it feel absolutely wonderful. Whenever mines are successful I have a big smile on my face. I like both hot process and cold process soap making. There are pros and cons to both methods. It will take time for you to decide which one you like best. I like them both so I flip-flop between the two. I love your sense of humor. Keep up the good work, stay creative.

I'm sorry you weren't feeling well. I hope you'll be feeling back to yourself in no time.
