why most soap leaves your skin dry:

Most modern soap is made with cheap vegetable oils, harsh detergents, and artificial fragrance.

It cleans — but it also strips away your skin’s natural oils, leaving it tight, itchy, and uncomfortable.

why tallow soap feels different:

Our soap starts with rendered and deodorized beef tallow, a fat that closely mimics your skin’s natural oils.

That means it cleans effectively without leaving your skin feeling parched.

We combine it with:

  • Coconut oil for cleansing and hardness
  • Olive oil for mildness and conditioning

We call this the Golden Trio — the most balanced soap base we know how to make.

what makes our soap different?

  • no artificial fragrance.

    We scent our soap only with pure essential oils.

  • no preservatives.

    Real soap doesn’t need them.

  • long-lasting bars.

    Our formula makes a hard, slow-melting bar that doesn’t disappear in a week.

  • simple ingredients.

    Nothing extra. Nothing mysterious. Just what your skin actually needs.

what people have said:

"Long lasting, cleans and rinses off well. Love the exfoliation." -Stephanie

"Finally, a soap with all the ingredients I want, and none that I don’t. Tallow based, with a fragrance that lasts beyond the surface. And, while not advertised, it makes an excellent shampoo. Nice hard bar that doesn’t dissolve on contact. Thanks!" -Ginger

"Smells great, feels great. Worth every penny!" -Seth

"The packaging was unique and I instantly loved the scent—peppermint and spearmint. Invigorating and calming at the same time! The bar feels like a mild exfoliator (which I enjoy) and is of high quality—a lot of suds, is packed with natural ingredients, and it leaves your skin feeling moisturized instead of dried out like other bars with synthetic fragrances do. Oh, and one more thing—I love that it comes from Ohio!" -Misty

hi, we’re Ira & Evan.

We’re a 2-person team making soap by hand in our Cleveland sunroom.

This soap recipe came from Evan’s dad, who made it when Evan was a kid. Over the last 30 years, it’s been refined into what we believe is the simplest and best soap you can use.

Every batch is mixed, poured, cut, wrapped, and boxed by us.

No factories. No shortcuts. No corporate formulas.

Just real soap made by real people.

how it's made:

It all starts with our Golden Trio:

  • Beef tallow – cleans without stripping your skin
  • Coconut oil – adds lather and firmness
  • Olive oil – adds mildness and conditioning

We add lye to turn those oils into soap, then finish each batch with pure essential oils for natural scent.

After curing, each bar is carefully wrapped, labeled, and packed by hand before it’s sent to you.
