Our Personal Why
At Lafosse Soap Co, we’re more than a soap company—we’re a family dedicated to healing and restoring balance in every facet of our lives. Tired of the strain that modern, fast-paced living placed on our minds and bodies, we chose to simplify. Stripping away the complexities of convenience-driven lifestyles revealed something profound: the ingredients we allow on and in our bodies matter deeply.
This journey began with a commitment to research every ingredient we use. What we discovered transformed our perspective and fueled our soap-making mission. This led us to create our grass-fed and finished tallow soap, crafted with a nourishing blend of cold-pressed olive oil, castor oil, and coconut oil. We enhance each bar with a curated blend of steam-distilled botanical oils to elevate the soap’s benefits from a holistic perspective, promoting healthy skin and overall well-being. Discover our collection of tallow soaps and experience the difference for yourself.
By sharing the knowledge we’ve gained, we hope to inspire others to embrace mindful choices that nurture both body and planet.
Grass-Fed and Finished: Why It Matters
The tallow in our soaps comes exclusively from grass-fed and grass-finished cattle, raised on USDA-inspected farms. Why is this distinction critical? Because how we care for animals and steward the land shapes not only the ecosystems they inhabit but also the quality of what we bring into our bodies.
Benefits of Grass-Fed Tallow
Cows that graze freely on lush pastures, moving in harmony with nature’s rhythms, live less stressful, healthier lives. This natural grazing—often through rotational grazing practices—mimics the patterns of wild herds, allowing grasses to recover and soils to thrive. The result? Happier, healthier cows that produce nutrient-dense byproducts, like tallow, rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, and essential fatty acids that deeply nourish your skin.
Rotational grazing also plays a vital role in healing the planet. By promoting deep-rooted grasses and healthy soil microbes, it sequesters carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, locking it into the earth. Studies suggest well-managed pastures can capture 1–3 tons of CO₂ per hectare annually. By sourcing tallow from these regenerative farms, we’re proud to support practices that restore the land while delivering pure, wholesome ingredients to you.
Cold-Pressed and Steam-Distilled: Purity in Every Bar
Our commitment to simplicity extends to how we craft our soaps. We use organic cold-pressed olive oil, castor oil, and coconut oil, which work synergistically with grass-fed tallow to nourish and hydrate both hair and skin. Olive oil provides deep moisturizing properties and is rich in antioxidants to soothe and protect. Castor oil enhances lather and promotes skin hydration, while coconut oil offers cleansing and antibacterial benefits. Combined with tallow’s nutrient-rich profile, these oils create a luxurious, creamy lather that cleanses without stripping natural oils, leaving hair soft and skin supple.
We further enhance our grass-fed tallow soap with steam-distilled botanical oils, capturing the pure essence of plants like lavender, rosemary, and eucalyptus. These oils are carefully selected for their therapeutic properties, promoting relaxation, skin repair, and holistic wellness. By using organic cold-pressed and steam-distilled methods, we preserve the natural integrity of our ingredients, ensuring each bar delivers maximum nourishment with minimal environmental impact. These time-honored techniques reflect our belief that less processing means more goodness for your skin and the environment.
