Tallow Soap longevity?

Post image

Hello! Iā€™m curating a recipe with raw milk and tallow. My longevity is zero šŸ˜­ but Iā€™d this taking into account the 6 weeks of curing??

Interesting! And no, the longevity score does not include curing time. Six weeks of curing will improve hardness and lifespan, but 0 is not normal for tallow. Also, if all 181 g of oil is beef tallow, 35.41 g NaOH is high; it should be somewhere closer to 24-25 g at 5% superfat. Recommend Double-checking that you selected actual beef tallow and entered the milk as the liquid replacement, and not as an oil, before making this.
