Back to Soap

Make a traditional tallow soap at home

Real soap takes three ingredients. People have been making it this way for four thousand years. Back to Soap shows you how to do it in a single Saturday afternoon — at home, with tallow, no farmhouse required.

Rosalee Moon started making soap thirty years ago for one reason: she wanted to know exactly what went into the things her family used every day. She sold for a while, then walked away from it — the business part had crowded out the part she loved. Today she makes for her own household, and writes these short guides for anyone who'd rather formulate than buy.
