- Don't throw out your beef fat! Instead make some tallow soap! Tallow has traditionally been used in everything from cooking and candle making to soaps and skin creams. Tallow naturally contains omega 3 fatty acids, is moisturizing and vitamin rich making it a perfect fat to use on skin. While tallow can be used in balms, salves and moisturizers, my favorite way to use it is to make tallow soap. You only need 3 ingredients! Water, Lye and Tallow! That's it! Recipe Below is a [5% Superfat] Beef Tallow Cold Process Soap: ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK SOAP RECIPE IN A ONLINE SOAP CALCULATOR!
Ingredients:
500g Melted Beef Tallow
190g Distilled Water
66.5g 100% NaOH (Lye)
Instructions:
1. Weigh tallow and put into a large bowl. I find it is easiest to melt the tallow before weighing it.
2. Weigh the water in a heat-safe container or sturdy plastic bucket, and weigh the lye separately.
4. Wearing gloves and safety goggles, carefully and slowly pour the lye into the water. Stir gently. THIS WILL GET VERY HOT!
5. Once the lye water has turned from cloudy to clear, leave it to cool for 10 minutes.
6. Carefully pour the lye water into the tallow. (You want to tallow and lye mixture close in temperature. Within 10-20 degrees of each other.)
7. Use an immersion blender to mix the soap. After a few minutes, it will grow creamy, and start to thicken. Mix until it has reached “trace,” the light pudding consistency.
9. Pour soap into molds, top with wax paper, and wrap molds in towels.
10. After 24 hours, remove soap from the mold and slice it into bars. Let cure in an area with good airflow for 6 weeks before using.

!!! A lye solution must only be made in a lye safe container. Lye and/or cold process soap should never come in contact with aluminum. Do not mix a lye solution in glass (like I did. But I will remember to be better next time)
Can I use oven insted of waiting 6 weeks???
This method used a cold process, so no. The soap needs that time to saponify. This is a lye soap and lye is a critical ingredient in the soap-making process. It reacts with oils during the saponification process to create soap and glycerin, changing the liquid oils (tallow) into a solid soap bar. 6 weeks is needed to complete this process. Thank you for watching!
