The Lowdown on Lard

The Lowdown on Lard

I’ve had many messages of customers unsure about buying a soap with lard in the ingredients, picturing a soap that will make their skin as greasy as the bacon fat it’s been rendered from. What most people don’t know is that lard is a phenomenal addition to the other oils and butters used in Gingerly Snapped soaps!

Lard provides some of the best moisture to the skin when added to soap, helping to ensure that the cleansing properties of the soap don’t also dry the skin out. While moisturizing the skin, these lard based soaps can help restore smoothness to skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Lard soaps are also known to help even out skin tone and reduce redness!

Although Gingerly Snapped tries to keep the majority of our soaps vegan friendly, we do have a selection of lard based soaps that we proudly make from in-house refined lard. You can find it in our Spring Collection with Rain Shower, our original soaps with Black Magic, and our newer soaps with The Huntress (just to name a few)!
