Have you tried our homemade lard soap from our pasture raised pigs? You are missing out….we make 4 to 5 oz bars using only a few simple ingrediants: Lard (80%), Coconut Oil (20%), Water/Lye, and essential oils for scent….that’s it!! Ever wonder about the benefits of Lard soap? Read below and find out why you should be using our Lard soap!
Lard in soap creates a wonderfully hard, long-lasting bar with a rich, creamy lather and exceptional moisturizing properties. It’s a surprisingly gentle, sustainable, and skin-loving ingredient that has been a cornerstone of traditional soap making for centuries for very good reasons.
The primary reason to use any soap is for how it feels and performs on your skin. This is where lard truly shines, offering benefits that synthetic or even some plant-based soaps struggle to match. It’s all about its unique compatibility with our own biology.
Is lard soap actually good for your skin?
Yes, lard soap is exceptionally good for your skin. Its magic lies in its fatty acid profile, which is remarkably similar to the fatty acid profile of human skin. This makes it incredibly compatible and non-irritating for most people. Furthermore, lard is a fantastic source of leaf-sourced Vitamin D. While the amount that can be absorbed through soap is debated, it’s a unique nutritional aspect that most plant oils lack. This contributes to the overall conditioning and nourishing feel of the soap.
Is lard soap suitable for sensitive skin or conditions like eczema?
For many people with sensitive skin, eczema, or psoriasis, handmade lard soap can be a game-changer. Here’s why:
Mildness: Because its structure is so similar to our own skin, it’s inherently gentle and less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions.
No Harsh Detergents: Commercial “soaps” are often synthetic detergent bars (syndets) that can be very harsh and drying. A true soap made with lard is much milder.
Natural Glycerin: In handmade soap, the naturally occurring glycerin (a powerful humectant that draws moisture to the skin) is retained. In commercial soap making, it’s often removed and sold separately. This retained glycerin makes lard soap incredibly moisturizing.
I’ve heard countless stories from customers who found relief from dry, itchy, or irritated skin after switching from commercial bars to simple, unscented lard soap. The lack of complex, synthetic ingredients combined with the soap’s natural conditioning properties often calms the skin down significantly.
