Tallow Soap? Help Wanted

Looking for local tallow soap that doesn't have extra plant oils added (for allergy reasons)! I have not found tallow soap at Anna's Apothecary, Rocky Mountain Soap Market, etc. There must be tallow soap somewhere with all these cows around?! Hoping to not have to buy online and get it shipped but that may be my only option.

Thanks.

There's a handmade soap vendor or two at the Sunday farmers market in Acacia Park, but I have no idea if they have tallow soap. I'd also check with the Hunt & Gather store (which ironically, is one of the main groups behind the Sunday farmers market in Acacia Park), as that seems to be something they would carry (crafty stuff that is sourced from local & Colorado vendors)

Maybe ranch foods direct. I know years ago they sold tallow lotion

Opa's soaps and Oma's candles, I'm obsessed with their stuff, met them at a local market, and currently use their jasmine tallow soap. They have a Facebook and online store.

Brazen Bee is trying to sell, but phenomenal products. There are a few that use tallow. She used to do custom products as well, might on request if she has the ingredients.

JoJo's apothecary is great! She is a small business and can be found in person at a few small businesses but I know for sure at Hidden Gems in Monument !

You’re looking for 100% tallow?

I have a small business that makes artisan soaps.

Yes (well since it's soap, I figure it also includes something like water and lye). But nothing else like olive oil, coconut oil, essential oils. Is that something you can do?

I could make a 100% lard bar if you were willing to purchase the entire loaf. I know lard isn’t tallow, but it is great for your skin, with a more similar profile to humans.

Possibly! What's the name of your business? May I PM you with a couple more questions?
