Simple skin care the old way
“This is the same recipe my grandma won blue ribbons with in 1966.”
“I was raised around real ingredients and real work. Tallow, lard, and buttermilk were not trends where I grew up. That was just how soap got made, and it is still how I make it today.
Our family recipe came from Southern Ohio Appalachian traditions and has been passed down for generations. We still source from three local farmers nearby because I believe good soap starts with knowing exactly where your ingredients came from.
I would love for you to give my grandma’s recipe a try.”
Why Skin Loves Traditional Tallow Soap
Mirrors Your Skin’s Structure
Tallow contains fatty acids that closely resemble the oils naturally found in human skin.
Real Ingredients Only
Rendered tallow, lard, buttermilk, and simple ingredients you can actually recognize.
Won’t Strip Your Skin
Unlike detergent bars, traditional soap cleans while helping skin stay balanced and comfortable.
Made By Hand
Slow-crafted in small batches using traditional methods — never mass-produced.

Maren C. — Franklin, TN“My golden retriever has sensitive skin, and this is the first shampoo that didn’t make him itch afterward. His coat came out fluffy, clean, and soft enough that everyone keeps commenting on it. Even the smell is gentle. I’m honestly relieved to finally have something that works for him.”
From the people
Jenna R. — Redding, CA“I ordered a few of the gift sets for Christmas this year, and I can’t wait to give them out. They smell amazing right out of the box, and the packaging feels so thoughtful and warm. It honestly feels like the kind of gift people will actually use and appreciate. I’m excited to see everyone’s reactions.”
From the people
Hannah M. — Bozeman, MT“I bought one bar just to try it, and now it’s the only soap I keep in my shower. The lather is rich, the scent is clean, and my skin feels soft every time I use it. It reminds me of the handmade soap my grandma used to keep by her kitchen sink. Simple, old-fashioned, and honestly the best soap I’ve used.”
From the people
Lydia T. — Waco, TX“This cream shocked me. I expected it to be heavy, but it melts right into my skin and keeps it hydrated all day. My cheeks feel smoother than they have in years. I’ve tried expensive moisturizers, but this one beats them all. It feels real, like something made with care instead of chemicals.”

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.
