Lumina Tallow Soap

My great grandmother Lumina used to make soap using local fats such as tallow and lard. Her soap recipe has inspired me to start using more bioregional fats. We made a limited edition batch of tallow soap to commemorate the traditional ways of our grandmothers. The release of our "Lumina" soap kicks off our new venture into creating a line of ancestral tallow based skincare products that we will be releasing throughout the year. 

We render our own tallow using suet that is 100% grass fed and grass finished from pasture raised cows from the Ottawa valley. We render the suet once, using the dry render method and by using the lowest heat possible to render into tallow. This labor-intensive and time-consuming process creates a profound nutrient dense product that can be applied onto the skin.

Tallow contains high concentrations of vitamins and antioxidants such as vitamins A, D, E and K. It is also full of lipids needed for healthy skin and helps to produce rich, creamy lather that is gently cleansing and wonderful for the skin. This bar has a light rosy & chocolaty scent.
