Grass-fed Tallow & Rosemary Soap

Handcrafted in the Azores, this soap combines the nourishing base of Azorean grass-fed beef tallow with macerated rosemary.

Scientific studies show that rosemary exhibits strong antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, largely due to its characteristic phenolic compounds (Moreno et al., 2006). Evidence also indicates that rosmarinic acid, a key compound in rosemary, exerts anti-inflammatory and protective effects on skin cells, helping to reduce oxidative stress (Osakabe et al., 2004).

In wound-healing studies, rosemary has further demonstrated the ability to support skin regeneration by increasing collagen production and accelerating wound closure (Abu-Al-Basal, 2010).

The soap is wrapped in a reusable beeswax cloth 🐝. Colour may vary between batches due to the artisanal nature of production. An alternative packaging option in unbleached beige parchment paper is also available.
