Before you throw away all the fat you trimmed off your meat, however, read on.
Theres an excellent use for it: soap.
Why Soap?
Which, by the way, might explain why your skin may be dry after using it.
If youre constantly reaching for the lotion after a shower, your soap is too drying.
The two are combined, emulsified, and put through a chemical process known as saponification.
The process turns the mixture, over the course of several weeks, into soap.
Each fat offers its own benefits as well, and thats where the customization comes in.
you might make soap for every skin key in, or to address specific issues you may be having.
If its important that your bar of soap smell amazing, thats easy too.
Can You Really Use Animal Fat?
The short answer is yes, and it makes an incredible bar.
Fats that come from bear, rabbit or pigs make lard after rendering.
Like other oils used in soapmaking, tallow and lard bring their own benefits to the table.
Both of them make nice firm bars, have excellent cleansing properties, and boost lather.
Lard is more conditioning, while tallow leans more toward the cleansing side.
Rendering the fat down is also easy.
Stir it occasionally and cook until you have clear or golden liquid.
Itll keep in the fridge for quite some time, until youre ready to make soap with it.
What Else Can I Put in My Soap?
Your soap could truly be an artistic masterpiece if you want.
Conclusion
Theres no reason to throw out all that fat from your next game animal.
Use it to make soap.
Your skin will thank you.
