Product Care & Tips

Keep It Dry

The single most important thing you can do. After each use, place your soap on a well-draining soap lift or dish — away from standing water and direct shower spray. A dry bar between uses can last twice as long.

Let It Cure

If you've bought multiple bars, let the extras cure unwrapped in a cool, dry place. The longer a cold-process bar cures, the harder and longer-lasting it becomes. Patience makes a better bar.

Use a Shower Puff

Get your shower puff and soap wet, work the soap into the puff, and massage for just a second. The lather is incredible — you'll wonder why you ever used body wash.

Expect Uniqueness

Each bar is hand-poured in small batches. Variations in color, swirl pattern, and design are completely normal and part of what makes each bar one-of-a-kind. No two bars are exactly alike.

Store in a Cool Place

Tallow-based butters and balms are sensitive to heat. Store your jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If the butter softens or melts, it's still perfectly good — just place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to re-solidify.

A Little Goes a Long Way

Our whipped tallow body butter contains zero water — it's 100% active ingredient. Scoop a small amount (about the size of a dime) and warm it between your palms before applying. It melts into your skin on contact.

Best After a Shower

For maximum absorption, apply whipped tallow to slightly damp skin right after showering. Your pores are open and your skin is warm — the tallow absorbs deeper and locks in moisture more effectively.

Texture Changes Are Normal

Temperature changes can cause the texture to shift slightly — this is a natural characteristic of real tallow products with no synthetic stabilizers. The product is still perfectly effective regardless of texture.

Apply to Pulse Points

For the Calming Blend, apply to the bottoms of your feet, wrists, or behind your ears before bed. For the Pain Blend, apply directly to sore muscles, joints, or areas of tension. Massage gently until absorbed.

Tingling Is Normal

A mild tingling or warming sensation when you first apply magnesium balm is completely normal — it means the magnesium is absorbing through your skin. This typically subsides after a few applications as your magnesium levels normalize.

Consistency Is Key

Transdermal magnesium works best with regular, daily use. Make it part of your nightly routine — apply the Calming Blend to the bottoms of your feet before bed for better sleep, or keep the stick in your gym bag for post-workout recovery with the Pain Blend. Results build over time.

How Much to Use

Use 1–2 tablespoons per load for a standard washing machine. For HE machines, use 1 tablespoon. Our laundry soap is highly concentrated — no water fillers — so a little goes a long way. One jar lasts most families 4–6 weeks.

Works in All Temperatures

Our laundry soap dissolves and works effectively in both hot and cold water. For best results with cold-water loads, add the soap directly to the drum before adding clothes — this gives it a head start dissolving.

Pair with Wool Dryer Balls

Skip the dryer sheets — they're full of chemicals. Toss 3–4 of our wool dryer balls into the dryer with a few drops of scent oil for naturally soft, static-free laundry. The balls also reduce drying time by up to 25%.

Safe for Sensitive Skin

Our laundry soap is free from synthetic fragrances, dyes, and harsh chemicals. It's safe for babies, kids with sensitive skin, and anyone who wants a cleaner wash without the chemical residue that conventional detergents leave behind.

Beard Oil Application

Apply 3–5 drops to your palm, rub your hands together, and work through your beard from root to tip. Best applied after a warm shower when your pores and hair follicles are open. Use daily for the softest, healthiest beard.

Shave Soap Tips

Wet your shave brush, swirl it on the soap puck for 15–20 seconds to build a rich lather, then apply to your face in circular motions. The tallow base creates a protective, slick surface that reduces razor burn and irritation.

Safety Razor Care

Rinse your safety razor thoroughly after each use and store it upright in a dry location. Pat dry with a towel if possible. Replace the blade every 5–7 shaves for the closest, most comfortable shave. A well-maintained razor lasts a lifetime.
