Azorean Tallow Soap - PROMOTION

This edition includes units that present slight variations in shape or weight, inherent to a fully artisanal production process. The formula, ingredients, and benefits remain exactly the same as the standard version. We have chosen to make these units available at an adjusted price, in respect of the zero-waste philosophy that guides Sebodoria Ancestral. Available exclusively in parchment paper packaging.

Artisanally produced in the Azores, this soap uses beef tallow as its main ingredient, a lipid traditionally valued for its high compatibility with the skin. Studies indicate that structural lipids similar to those found in tallow may support the skin barrier function and improve water retention, promoting more hydrated and comfortable skin (Kowalska et al., 2017; Russell et al., 2024). Other studies demonstrate that tallow-derived formulations can substantially increase skin hydration, contributing to improved elasticity and overall skin comfort (Abd Rahman et al., 2011).

Handcrafted in the Azores, this soap is made with grass-fed beef tallow as its main ingredient, a lipid traditionally valued for its high compatibility with human skin. Scientific research indicates that structural lipids similar to those found in tallow can support the skin barrier and improve water retention, promoting more hydrated, comfortable skin (Kowalska et al., 2017; Russell et al., 2024). Additional studies show that tallow-derived formulations can significantly increase skin hydration, contributing to improved elasticity and overall skin comfort (Abd Rahman et al., 2011).

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 parchment paper is also available.
