Tallow and Dandelion Love Spell Handmade Small Batch Cold Process Soap

Key Ingredients: Coconut Oil

This spell-binding formula features grass-fed tallow as its nourishing base, complemented by sunflower oil and shea butter as additional moisturizing oils, renowned for their deeply moisturizing and skin-compatible properties. Goat milk can also be included for extra nourishment and to create a rich, creamy lather.

Fresh dandelion flowers, leaves, roots, dried dandelion blossoms, and other beneficial herbs infuse the bar with vitamins A and C, while high-quality olive oil, coconut oil, and infused oil provide gentle cleansing, rich conditioning, and extra botanical benefits. Dandelion tea, prepared by steeping fresh dandelion flowers or roots in hot water, is used as an herbal infusion to further enhance the soap's botanical benefits.

The process of making dandelion infused oil involves infusing dried dandelion blossoms into a carrier oil such as sunflower oil. Powdered dandelion leaf is incorporated as a natural colorant and herbal ingredient, adding both visual appeal and additional herbal properties.

The dandelion botanicals, along with blossoms and essential oils for fragrance, bring their golden energy and antioxidant power, creating a soap that’s as beautiful as it is beneficial for your skin’s natural glow, thanks to the harmonious blend of oils. A carefully prepared oil mixture is used to ensure proper saponification and soap quality. Solid fats like tallow and coconut oil are melted using a small saucepan before being blended with other ingredients. Palm oil is not used in this recipe, in favor of more sustainable and traditional fats.

Experience the transformative power of this love-inspired soap as it gently cleanses while deeply nourishing your skin, helping to retain moisture. The vitamin-rich dandelions help your complexion look brighter and more radiant—these bars are a wonderful way to care for your skin, while the tallow base leaves skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth. Rich in antioxidants, this bar helps protect against environmental stressors, highlighting the benefits of using natural soaps for a gentle wash and giving you that healthy, conditioned feeling that lasts long after your shower or bath.

Dandelions have long been valued in both food and skincare recipes, showcasing their versatility in traditional dishes, drinks, and natural self-care products.

Work the bar between wet hands or directly on damp skin to create a rich, creamy lather. Gently massage over face and body, allowing the nourishing ingredients to caress your skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and follow with your favorite moisturizer if desired. Use daily as part of your morning or evening routine to maintain soft, healthy-looking skin that feels as magical as it looks.

When making soap, always wear long sleeves and gloves for safety, especially when handling lye. Begin by preparing your oils and melting them gently. Dissolve lye in water to create a lye solution, and allow it to cool to room temperature or slightly below for best results. If you want to use herbal infusions, you can brew dandelion tea and freeze it in ice cube trays for convenient use later. Once both the oils and lye solution are cool, mix them together using an immersion blender. Continue blending until the mixture reaches trace—this is when it becomes thick enough to leave a visible trail on the surface. At this stage, you can stir in any additional ingredients. Carefully pour the soap mixture into a loaf mold or other soap mold, using a spoon to transfer the batter if needed. The prep time for making soap includes active mixing and stirring, as well as a curing period to allow the bars to harden and become ready for use.

This soap has captured hearts with its romantic “love spell” inspiration and the pure joy of using something crafted entirely by hand in small batches. Customers adore the connection to nature through carefully harvested dandelions, and appreciate the traditional process of making dandelion soap using a cold process soap recipe that highlights artisanal craftsmanship. Each bar represents our commitment to simple, quality ingredients and the time and patience required for curing the soap in a dark place for several weeks to allow it to fully cure, bringing a touch of old-world magic and modern skincare wisdom into everyday life.
