Soapmaking is an art form that has been passed down from generation to generation. Today it is widely sold and used commercially not only because of its cleaning abilities, but it is also a craft that has been mastered & admired by many.
Some background on soaps…
All soaps are created using a variety of oils, fats, and butters. Through the process of saponification, along with combining essential oils, fragrances, and other unique ingredients such as tea tree oil, oatmeal and charcoal, we are able to produce a variety of aromatic soaps to meet specific needs for many skin types. These added ingredients are natural remedies.
Being raised that we shouldn’t waste anything, part of what we strive to do at Roughage is to make sure that we are making good use of everything that is involved in the making of our products. Because of this, we spend the time and effort to harvest, refine, and reuse the richest fat from the beef that is used for our jerky. This fat is then rendered down, double-filtered, and purified to create an all-natural tallow that is used in many our soaps. The tallow is then combined with a balance of olive and coconut oil. All 3 work together to create a soap that not only creates a good lather, but also cleans & moisturizes and won’t leave your skin dry like commercially produced soaps. This is the base for many of our soaps, although we are working on creating a few plant based options, stay tuned.
Each soap also contains specially selected ingredients such as goat’s milk, almond oil, avocado oil, shea butter, and other natural ingredients to create a unique soap designed for a specific purpose to meet one’s individual skin needs. Please check out our different products for more information on the different properties and medicinal uses for each one.
