Soap Guide
Welcome to your Luna Tallow Soap guide! Here’s everything you need to know about using our soap, getting the most from your concentrate, and why it’s different from regular soaps.
1. Use Undiluted (Straight from the Jar):
For the richest, creamiest lather, you can use our soap concentrate as-is. Simply scoop a small amount into your hands, onto a cloth, or directly onto skin and lather with water. Because it’s highly concentrated, you’ll find a little goes a long way. Perfect for hand and face washing, or when you want maximum cleansing power.
2. Dilute with Water:
For a gentler, more economical option, mix your concentrate with water. We recommend starting with 1 part concentrate to 2–4 parts water depending on how strong you’d like it. Shake gently before each use. This is ideal for foaming pump bottles, body wash, or when using on little ones, as the lighter mix still cleans beautifully while lasting even longer.
Why We Make a Concentrate
We make our soap as a concentrate so we can give you the purest, most natural soap possible - without preservatives, fillers, or synthetic additives. By starting with a concentrated form, you get the nourishing benefits of just two simple ingredients: our rich tallow and gentle oils. That’s it. Nothing unnecessary, nothing harsh.
How Much Soap Can You Make?
Our concentrate is versatile and lasts a long time:
100 ml concentrate → makes approximately 1 litre of liquid soap
200 ml concentrate → makes approximately 2 litres of liquid soap
That’s a lot of gentle, nourishing soap compared to typical bars or store-bought liquids!

Better Value Than Soap Bars
Most tallow soap bars cost around $10 and last for a limited number of washes. Our concentrate gives you far more washes for less money: 100 ml makes about 10–12 times the amount of liquid soap a single bar would. And because it’s concentrated, you control exactly how much soap you use, so nothing goes to waste.
What to Expect From the Soap
Our soap is different from commercial liquid soaps with added detergents. It doesn’t foam like typical soaps - but that’s a good thing! Instead, it’s:
Creamy and soothing on the skin
Gentle enough for tattoos, babies, and sensitive skin
Luxurious to use even without lather
It’s soap the way nature intended: simple, nourishing, and effective.
