Sodium Tallowate
Beef Tallow
Sodium Tallowate is the official cosmetic ingredient name (INCI) for beef tallow after it has gone through the traditional soapmaking process known as saponification. It begins as rendered beef fat, a time-tested ingredient that has been used in soapmaking for generations.
At Kaptainic, we use carefully selected beef tallow as the foundation of our cold process bars. Once transformed into Sodium Tallowate, it helps create the firm structure, classic feel, and long-lasting character associated with traditional soap.
Why We Use INCI Names
INCI (International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient) names are the standardized ingredient names used for cosmetic labelling. They provide a consistent way to identify ingredients around the world, helping customers understand exactly what goes into every bar.
