My skin used to be a combination skin (sometimes oily and sometimes dry) and now it's super soft, really like a baby's skin! Buy it! You will absolutely not regret it

Primal's natural tallow soap is a true game-changer for skin and hair care. I love using it as a shampoo; it balances the sebum production on my scalp and leaves my hair clean and soft. Plus, the scent is subtle but very pleasant!

Composed of the most nutritious ingredients

Composed of the most nutritious ingredients

Carefully selected and sustainably produced. Rich in powerful natural ingredients for radiant, fresh, and healthy skin.

Tallow

Made in the Netherlands, exclusively from grass-fed and organic cattle from Europe. The fat structure of tallow overlaps with the natural lipids of the skin. This allows it to seamlessly integrate with the skin barrier, helping the skin feel soft, supple, and nourished.

Castor Oil

Cold-pressed and Organic. Rich in ricinoleic acid, a special fatty acid that makes castor oil popular in natural soap. It helps create a creamy, stable lather and contributes to a gentle, nourishing cleansing of the skin.

Lye & Distilled Water

Lye and distilled water are the ingredients that convert fats into soap. In the past, lye was extracted from wood ash, but nowadays we have a pure version. In the final product, the soap, only very small traces of both can still be found.

Frequently asked questions

Is Tallow Soap right for me?

Our soap is suitable for everyone and does exactly what you expect from a soap. After use, your skin and hair will be clean and fresh.

The difference is that this soap has no synthetic additives that the skin can absorb or that can irritate it.

It is therefore particularly interesting for people with sensitive skin, skin problems, or allergies.

Is Tallow Soap safe for children or babies?

Our soap is made with simple, natural ingredients and contains no synthetic fragrances, preservatives or petroleum.

However, we recommend extra caution with babies and young children, as their skin is more sensitive than that of adults, and potential allergies may still be unknown.

We therefore recommend the unscented version for children, and we advise starting with a patch test on a small area of healthy skin. If in doubt, always consult a medical professional first.

Can Tallow Soap also be used during pregnancy?

Yes, in principle, Tallow Soap can be used during pregnancy. The soap is made with organic tallow, organic castor oil, lye, and distilled water. During the saponification process, the fats and oils react with the lye to form real soap. In a well-made and cured soap, no free lye remains.

The unscented variant is the most cautious choice during pregnancy, as it does not contain essential oils. The scented variant contains cedarwood and bergamot essential oil. Although these are used in low concentrations, the skin can react more sensitively than usual during pregnancy.

If you have sensitive skin, allergies, or are unsure about using essential oils during pregnancy? Then opt for the unscented variant or consult your doctor or midwife.

Can I use Tallow Soap for my hair too?

Absolutely! If you wet the soap and rub it over your wet hair, you'll quickly get a bubbly layer of soap that you can massage through your hair.

Can I use Tallow Soap for eczema or skin problems?

Absolutely! A pure and all-natural soap is actually recommended for skin problems because it contains no synthetic additives that could further irritate the skin.

However, for sensitive skin, we recommend opting for unscented soap, as irritated skin can sometimes be sensitive to essential oils.

It's also important to note that all soaps naturally degrease the skin, which can contribute to drier skin afterward. For skin problems where dry skin can exacerbate the issue, it's best to use a fat-based moisturizer after washing.

This way, you first thoroughly cleanse the skin and then replenish it with healthy fats.

How does the unperfumed version smell?

Because we use raw materials in their most unrefined form, the unscented products have a slight smell of these ingredients, such as tallow or castor oil.

We have consciously chosen not to deodorize these raw fats, as this requires additional processing, which can affect the nutrients and active ingredients in the fat.

The scent is mild, and most of our customers find it perfectly fine, or even pleasant.

If for any reason you are not satisfied with the scent after purchasing the product, please make use of our lifetime money-back guarantee!

In the scented versions, where does the scent come from?

What is traditionally referred to as fragrance or perfume in the cosmetics industry is a secret recipe of ingredients that can contain harmful chemicals such as phthalates.

We do not use such fragrances or perfumes. We only use 100% natural and organic essential oils to scent our products. This means there are no hidden ingredients or harmful synthetic chemicals.

How long does the Tallow Soap last?

The soap has a shelf life of 24 months (2 years) after you first open the packaging.

This assumes you store the soap in a cool, dark, and dry place.

Light, oxygen, heat, and water can accelerate product degradation.

How do I best store Tallow Soap?

After using the soap, it's important to store it somewhere it can dry.

If you leave the soap in a puddle of water, it will not last as long, and may also start to smell unpleasant after a while.

A soap dish, like the ones we also sell, is therefore an ideal purchase alongside the soap itself.

Wait, isn't castor oil a seed oil?

Castor oil is pressed from the castor beans of the castor plant, Ricinus communis. Despite the name "bean", castor beans are botanically seeds. In that sense, castor oil is technically a seed oil.

However, here are the important differences from other seed oils:

  1. The castor oil we use is organic and cold-pressed. Therefore, no unnecessary pesticides are present, and the oil was not exposed to heat or processing with chemicals that can cause fats to oxidize.
  2. Castor oil has a completely different fatty acid composition than oils such as sunflower or rapeseed oil. It consists mostly of ricinoleic acid, also known as Omega-9, and has a very low concentration of Omega-6 fats.

Why do we choose to add castor oil?

Precisely because of that ricinoleic acid, which is known in traditional soap production to make soap creamier and more foamy. This fatty acid is quite uniquely present in castor oil.

Wait, isn't lye synthetic?

Yes, technically speaking. Soap cannot be made without lye.

Lye is the substance that causes the chemical reaction that converts fat, such as tallow, into soap.

The first soaps in history were also made with lye. However, at that time, they used the ashes of burnt wood and plants, which are naturally rich in lye.

Nowadays, we can produce lye purely. That is indeed synthetic, but it has the advantage of preventing ash particles from getting into the soap.

Unfortunately, this is one of the few compromises we've had to make on the 100% natural principle.

Be aware, however, that in the soap itself, after the chemical reaction is complete, there is practically no lye present.
