Working skincare.

1. Wash with the bar.

Our soap cleans without stripping your skin dry. The tallow-lard-buttermilk based formula mirrors your skin’s natural oils, leaving skin soft instead of tight.

2. Lock it in with the balm.

Use whipped tallow balm after washing to deeply nourish your skin. Use it on your face, hands and body. Where ever your skin needs keeping.

Two squeeze tubes of Plain Jane Fat Kiss Lip Balm with clear caps, filled with a pale yellow balm, arranged on a brown kraft paper tube packaging over a dark wooden surface.

3. Seal it with a FAT KISS !

Our FAT KISS lip balm is a religion. Smooth, silky, Ultra healing. Made with Tallow, Lard and Lanolin.

Real Farmers. Real Ingredients. REALLY good Skin.

My grandmother won blue ribbons for her lard and tallow rendering. Everything she did was slow and steady, and she’d always say, “It’ll get there… a watched pot never boils.” Meaning: let it be, trust the process.

We render our locally sourced tallow and lard the same way today — gentle and slow — preserving the goodness, losing the bad.
Triple-rendered, water-cleaned, and crafted into a 50/50 tallow–lard soap base.

It’s a lot of work. Hundreds of pounds a month. But that’s why Plain Jane bars lather different, feel different, and clean better. Heritage fats, parlor-grade results.

    Frequently asked questions

    No. Properly rendered tallow soap rinses clean while leaving your skin soft and balanced — not coated.

    Not at all. Proper rendering removes the heavy odor people associate with raw tallow.

    Most bars last 3–5 weeks with normal daily use. Keeping the bar dry between washes helps it last longer.

    Many customers with dry or easily irritated skin say this is the first soap that feels comfortable to use daily.

    Most orders ship within 2–4 business days from our Texas workshop.

    Texas heat! and Shipping times across country can melt the balms. Our formulas are carefully rendered and processed taking into account warm temperatures from shipping. IF your lip balm or tallow balm arrives melted or in a different texture than you thought, pop it in the refrigerator for about 30 min, then let it come back to room temp on the counter before using. It is good as new. If you try to squeeze teh lip balm out of the tube as soon as it hardens in the fridge, the cap will pop off!. let the lip balm come to room temp, or rub it between your hands. THIS IS NATURE. No preservatives in our products so we have to meet in the middle with these things :) email maker@plainjanetallow.com if you need help!
