Introduction

Deer tallow soap is a special type of soap made from the rendered fat of deer. Deer tallow is one of the highest quality natural fats available for making soap. So it’s easy to see why it’s used as a raw material in all kinds of commercial soaps and personal care products. If you enjoy making your homemade bars of handcrafted soap, then you might want to try this recipe.

Fat is rendered by heating it in a process called rendering. This can be done on a stovetop or in an oven.

To render fats, you’ll need to heat them in a process called rendering. Renders aren’t cooked—they’re just heated until they can be easily liquefied and separated from their watery components. The resulting fat will then be dried out, or defatted (if it’s not being used immediately), before being packaged for sale as a final product like soap or lotion [1].

Renders are different from other types of cooking because they often require heating at high temperatures for long periods, which isn’t always practical with other food items [2]. In addition to having a high heat tolerance throughout the entire process (which means less energy is required), renders also tend towards higher lye concentrations than most other types of cooking methods [3]. This makes them more prone than other methods to explosions when exposed directly under pressure while cooling down after heating up again later on during processing [4].

Use beef tallow or deer tallow for this soapmaking project.

You can use beef tallow or deer tallow for this soapmaking project. However, if you want to make a soap that is more eco-friendly and animal friendly, then you might want to try out our other recipes instead.

This soap uses the hot process method, but the cold process method can also be used.

If you’re a beginner, I highly recommend that you start with the hot process method. The reason for this is that it’s easier to work with and much faster. You can make a batch of soap in about an hour (or less) without having to worry about getting soap in your eyes or burning yourself on hot lye water. If your experience level is more advanced, however, then go ahead and use the cold process method. It will be gentler on your skin and will cost much less time overall than using lye salts every day!

First, cut the lye (sodium hydroxide) into small chunks.

  • Use gloves and eye protection.
  • Add the lye to a metal bowl or container that can be safely washed with soap afterward. Then cover it with water until you have about 1 pound of lye in it. Be careful not to inhale any smoke from burning lye. As it can cause lung irritation and cancer if inhaled over time. Keep away from children! The fumes are toxic if inhaled. Do not store flammable materials like gasoline or kerosene. Use something heavy enough to prevent fire from spreading should there be accidental spillage. If using an open flame during this process, make sure that it’s turned off before adding any chemicals into your solution—and never mix them!

If you use salt as well as the lye in the recipe, it will make the soap smoother and harder.

Salt is a great way to harden your soap. Because it helps prevent bubbles from forming on top of your bar. As it can cause some people to have a negative reaction.

Salt isn’t necessary for making deer tallow soap, but it does help improve its texture.

Make sure to add the lye to the water and not vice versa! The reaction is very exothermic and could burn your skin if you add water to the lye.

If you want to make soap, it is important to know how to mix lye and water. The reaction can be very dangerous if not done correctly. You will also want to avoid mixing the two liquids in a container that isn’t safe for pouring or storing during the mixing process.

Mixing lye with water can lead to an exothermic reaction. This means that the mixture gets hotter when mixed than either ingredient would on its own. This can burn your skin if you attempt this method of soap making! Instead, use fat instead of water when making your soaps, and follow our instructions below on how the best way to get started!

Put on long sleeves and gloves before handling the large quantities of lye for this recipe.

  • Wear long sleeves and gloves.
  • Wear eye protection.
  • Wear skin protection (like gloves) to avoid getting lye on your skin, clothes, or other surfaces that you may be exposed to after the soap has been made.

Always wear eye protection when working with lye! Also, wear long sleeves and gloves or other skin protection.

Why? Because lye is extremely caustic—it can burn your skin and eyes if you don’t take precautions. And it’s not only the lye itself that causes issues; if you get splashed by the mixing bowl or rinsed off before washing up (or worse yet, you touch something wet without wearing any protection at all), then even more damage can be done to your sensitive skin.

If this sounds like a lot of work just to use a soap product, consider these benefits: Deer Tallow Soap makes cleaning easier than ever before! The bar feels silky and smooth against our hands while still providing effective cleaning properties like dirt removal and deep cleansers

Slowly add the fat to the mixture one chunk at a time while stirring gently but thoroughly.

You can also use a steady stream of fat if that’s easier for you. The goal is to melt all of your fat before adding it to the lye solution; otherwise, you risk creating an uneven mix and possible rancidity in your soap.

Next, pour enough boiling water into your mold to cover the bottom inch or two. This will help prevent warping when cooling.

Next, use a thermometer to check the temperature of the water before pouring it. If it’s too hot, you can add more cold tap water until it reaches about 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius). Be sure not to add too much cold water—you want just enough so that when you pour in your soap mixture:

  • It won’t overflow;
  • It doesn’t get too cool;
  • And there is room for air bubbles (which will cause splitting).

Once your soap is firm enough to handle after resting overnight in its mold, you can unmold it and slice it into bars lengthwise. This will make cutting it into smaller pieces easier once it’s cured a little longer and more solidified.

  • Cutting the bars in half lengthwise also helps with cutting them later on when they are hard as a rock. The harder texture allows for sharper blades that last longer than if you were just cutting with a dull knife.
