Thread: Prairie Creations Tallow Based soap

Hello Gents,

I just wanted to see if any of you have used the Prairie Creations new tallow soap. I recently got a puck of the almond and was really impressed. The lather was nice and slick with good cushion, and the scent was very nice. All in all, it performed very well. I've contacted the proprietor, and she's agreed to make an avocado scent for me

Looking at the website, the selection doesn't look impressive, but if you drill down you'll find that you have a tremendous option of scents to choose from. I don't know anything about the other products, but I find it pretty cool that they'll work with you to make a custom scented soap. The best part, is that it's cheap $8 for a puck in a container and $6.50 for a replacement puck. I don't think it's triple milled, so I'm not sure how long it will last. However, with all of the reformulations out there, it's nice to see another tallow based option from a small soaper's business.

I just thought I'd share.

Cheers

It's not triple milled, to have that it must be made with a big machine that home crafters just don't have. Plus triple mill soap the glycerin and excess oil must be removed from the soap so it won't gum up the machine. And by removing those qualities many claim you also lose some of the moisturizing qualities.

I have found that my soap wears very well and lasts. I have also heard that from others who are using it. Granted the recipe just went into production so it hasn't been around long enough to say just how many shaves someone can get out of it. They do weigh a hefty 5 ounces.

Apparently the bandwidth limit is exceeded... uh oh...

Yeah, I saw that too... Not too sure if that's a good thing or not

good for them... apparently a lot of people are now interested in buying their soap! You should ask for commision lol.

I ordered some lavender from P-C so hopefully I'll be able to review the soap when it hits my brush. I always favor EO's as FO's in general tend to burn my face.

Which version did you get? I know that both is available on some of the scents. I think the next scent that I have coming is called Cool Spring. I will post a full review of the soap as well when I the "new" wears off, and the exuberance is replaced with objectivity. It's pretty cool though.

I got the plain EO Lavender with Aloe.

I would like some also. Bandwidth? Who says we don't carry clout. I'll check later.


Take Care,

It's back now, yes it's getting a LOT of hits.
