When I arrived in my apartment it was full of plug in perfume residue that I'm badly allergic to. I tried using a natural dish soap, but there is a myth that acid is better for the skin, and it melted the skin in my face really bad from the fumes. I made the horrible mistake to wash my walls with it. The acid fumes were so corrosive that my floor varnish started to smell all over the room, melted from the fumes alone! I tried to fix the floor with commercial products but it was so toxic and full of perfume that my face started to swell purple.

But this truly natural dish soap is absolute goodness! I didn't try it on actual dishes yet, but it saved my air quality and my sanity. I feel so calm and Zen now.

I tried it in my clothes for the first time. I read that I'm only supposed to clean the worst spots and then use a regular laundry detergent, but I couldn't find any for the same reasons. So I put some in a bucket and I soaked it all night. My clothes smell much better, it's unscented, but it smells like delicious goodness from nature, instead of toxic waste from a radioactive fake flower field.

I used to wash my clothes by only soaking them in water all night and the smell was fine but I wanted some soap for the whites. I think that if I only use soap ocasionally, it won't build up and become weird like the owner's review.

It feels so good to be able to wash with soap again without fearing to melt my skin from chemical burns again. I would use it with trust in my dishes that I will put food in, because I think there is a view is safe. Thank you for resisting trends that are going in the wrong direction and preserving ancestral goodness!

I am in Canada. I couldn't find any real tallow soap here. The add cheap vegetable oils that I am allergic to, to make more money.Every single soap is full of toxic ingredients except this one. I was washing my hairs with eggs but didn't like the smell. I tried washing my hairs with it and when I was scrubbing I was worried that I would get too oily, but it hydrated my hairs and my skin. It feels so good to be able to wash myself with soap. There is a myth that the skin prefer to be acidic, so they add citric acid, at first it gaves me "roseacea", but doctors are dumb just saying my skin is "rose" (french or pink). When I cleaned with a natural soap so full of acid my skin started peeling so badly even without washing myself with it. I felt so ugly.

But this ancestral soap saved me! It's so soothing that I actually put bowls of water with some soap in it in my home, to fix the acid ph in the air melting my skin. I had tried with baking soda but the powder was even more irritating to the skin, lungs and nervous system. I ended up with the taste of soap in my mouth, but this time it actually tasted good, not like I was about to get cancer.

I chose the unscented. But it smells so good! I feel like I smell like the faintest smell of butter. But don't think that this soap smells bad like cows. My nervous system is hypersensitive and I smell more than an average person. Especially since I don't use perfume on anything because I'm allergic to it. So I feel like I can sniff like a dog haha! And it smells wonderful! I feel safe.

When I was trying to clean with baking soda and cotric acid, one of my room was to alkaline and was making me depressed to the point of crying, and the other room was too acidic and giving me anxiety. My emotions were switching instantly from one room to another. It made me realize that psychiatry prescribing pills really don't know anything about biology.

Washing myself with this soap and having it in the air made me feel incredibly calm! But in the best way!

Vegans will feel sorry for the cows, but I also have the right to be sorry for me because I have anemia, and B12 is only in meat. I am sure that those cows are treated nicely because they are grass-fed and hopefully see the sky and sun. I feel like I am washing myself with sunshine and happiness. I read that the soap is made with goodness ingredients that ended up being trashed because people eat vegetable oils instead of tallow. But I think we should restart eating it too.

I couldn't praise this soap and the people making it more.

The shipping between the USA and Canada is awful, so it really had to be a good product for me to pay so much in shipping. The phrase for the soap is totally worth it.

It smells good but I can tell that it's been filtered with love and is very clean. I'm not a specialist but if it smelled like rotten cows sweat I would tell.

Thank you so much for making this soap and for shipping it to Canada. You can be proud of preserving traditions. Because the direction we are going forward is purely for profits at the peril of quality. Hopefully you are making profits while offering such quality.

To preserve it I only cut a little piece and I put it in plastic. So all the other smells in my home cannot contaminate it. And it can continue to smell like happiness :)

Works great for my dry and sensitive skin! I've tried commercial soaps in the past that were too busy "moisturizing" to properly clean, and they still dried me out! This bar soap is a combination of what I need: it's simple and gentle enough to not irritate my skin, it doesn't strip out my hard-won moisture, and is still an effective cleanser. I've used it on hands, face, body, and hair. I love this soap!

A great lip balm! Very effective at BOTH moisturizing and protecting my skin. It's strong enough that one application in the morning means my lips are good to go for the whole day. I love it!

I use this as an overnight moisturizer for very, very dry skin on my feet and legs. It's very potent- a little goes a long way. When I wake in the morning my skin is totally refreshed and resists drying out for another few days!

An excellent heavy-duty balm. Can recommend!

I am loving this lip balm so far. It feels very nice and luxurious and has the perfect amount of lavender scent. While I know lavender is a very popular go-to, it would be cool to see this in palmarosa or ylang ylang scents too :D I'm a huge lip balm person, it's something that I cannot stop using. I've tried tons of brands, at different price points and this one seems like it's probably the best value out there for something so natural too. I've used lanolips lip balm stick and while I like it, it's expensive and can disappear fast! All that taken into consideration, this is a nice addition to the Fat Chance product line :) Nice execution. I like this one a lot. I'll continue ordering.

I used just tallow soap for dishes in the past but it left spots all over any glassware.. however this tallow and lard soap left no spot! .. it’s as good as my liquid soap in a plastic bottle .. THANK YOU! I’m free of buying liquid soap in a plastic bottle !

Diane does a great job hand crafting items with love!

i got this for my stubbornly chapped lips during this pregnancy. i’ve used every balm there is to no avail- my lips had been chapped for the last six months!
I put this on one night and that was it- problem fixed! honestly this stuff is magic. so much so that i’ve started using it on every part of my body- hands, cuticles, face. it’s thick, but i dab it on.
my hands now look like they did in my teens, no joke, and my face looks 5 years younger.

please never stop making this stuff!

I use this for washing dishes and as a stain remover before washing clothes. Works very well, no unnecessary chemicals, gentle on hands, allergy-free. Another outstanding soap from Fat Chance Farm.

Wonderfully moisturizing, way better than I thought it would be. Smells a bit like a barnyard from the lanolin, but the scent disappears after about 10 minutes on the skin. Well worth it for such a great product.

Grateful to have found soap with no unnecessary ingredients or fragrances. I no longer have cracked skin on my hands after switching to this soap.

This soap is so great! I get the unscented and it cleans well and is just amazing!

This stuff really gets my dishes clean. Residue, chemical, plastic free. I’ll a returning customer.

This soap I have been buying for a lot of years, from Fat Chance Farm and this the nicest soap; I do suggest tying it.
