Years ago when many people had farms and raised their own cattle they would make their own Tallow Soap by rendering beef fat. While the soap had (and still has) a tendency to be difficult to lather, the resulting lather once produced was full of natural rich emollients and was predominately used for moisturizing the skin and helping with eczema.

I make this tallow hand bar soap with the very finest tallow available, called Wagyu Tallow. This tallow comes from what is considered to be some of the very finest beef available, from Wagyu cattle. You may have heard of it by various other names such as Kobe Beef, Matsusaka Beef, etc. The beef from such cattle are very highly marbleized with fat. I purchase such tallow from a farm in the United States that raises Wagyu cattle. 

Some soap makers add only a tiny bit of tallow to their so called tallow bars and make up the rest of the bar with palm oil and other oil fillers, then pass the bar off as "Tallow Bar Soap". Why do they do this? Because Premium Tallow is expensive! And apparently they do not mind misleading the consumer. I will have none of that!
