As a vegetarian of long standing, I have to confess that I was a bit reluctant to try beef tallow soap. However I love the way Claire farms with love and respect. Plus the idea of using every last bit of the beast made much sense to me. My vego soaps were often made with imported ingredients and I would rather support local. The soaps lather beautifully, don’t crack or turn into bloated flubbery blobs on the soap rack. They smell delicious and my skin loves them. No more cracked paws after cleaning up my haggard gardening hands. They make lovely gifts too, and everyone has a complete cow on their Christmas list who would surely love some soap!
