Why it works
Natural Tallow Soap for people with dry and itchy skin
The soap contains no vigorous cleansers or fragrances and its skin enriching quality greatly aids the process of repairing damaged skin, helping to improve dry skin conditions, such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.
This soap has been in use worldwide for over 30 years on all types of sensitive skin, including those suffering from eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. It has a proven track record of providing relief, and in some cases a cure for all types of distressing and often painful skin conditions.
When examining the labels of typical soap bars, you'll notice a range of 10 to 20 ingredients listed. These may encompass fragrances, chemicals, and colourants, along with fillers and potential irritants such as Parabens, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). These components serve as cost-effective methods for soap production, but they may not always be beneficial for your sensitive skin.
Skin Salve soap contains just 7 ingredients, including
Sodium Tallowate: Renowned for its cleansing and moisturising properties, Sodium Tallowate has been a staple in soap manufacturing, contributing to the creation of bars that are beneficial for the skin.
Sodium Cocoate: Derived from Coconut oil, Sodium Cocoate serves as a surfactant, effectively eliminating dirt, oil, and other impurities while simultaneously providing moisturisation to the skin.
Glycerin: Glycerin enhances the skin barrier by attracting moisture from the air, ensuring skin hydration and minimising water loss.
Tocopheryl Acetate: Vitamin E is commonly known as an anti-inflammatory agent for the skin. Functioning as both a 'humectant' and an 'emollient,' it aids in water absorption by the skin and retains it within the skin. Additionally, it has demonstrated efficacy in alleviating eczema for some individuals. Tocopheryl Acetate is a common ingredient in various anti-aging creams, eye serums, sunscreens, and makeup products.

Hear from our happy customers,
who've trusted Skin Salve for over 30 years
I was sceptical at first, but this soap truly lives up to the hype. My skin feels protected and nourished after every wash, and I’ve had far fewer flare-ups since using it. It’s also great for shaving! Brilliant product
Mark P
Such a fantastic soap! I have psoriasis, and this has been incredibly soothing. My skin feels much less irritated, and the natural ingredients give me peace of mind. It lathers nicely without the harsh chemicals found in most soaps. A must-have!
Abdul L
I bought this for my son, who suffers from dermatitis, and it’s the only soap that doesn’t make his skin worse. It cleans well without drying, and his skin has been looking much healthier. Highly recommend for anyone with sensitive skin issues.
Tom R
After trying countless soaps that irritated my skin, I finally found one that works. This soap is so gentle yet effective, leaving my skin feeling clean and calm. No more redness or flare-ups! The fact that it's made with only a few natural ingredients is a huge plus.
Lisa M
This soap is amazing! My skin used to feel tight and itchy after washing, but since switching to this, it stays soft and moisturised. The tallow and coconut oil combination really helps my sensitive skin. Plus, it lasts a long time, making it great value for money.
David W
I have struggled with eczema for years, and this soap has been a lifesaver! It cleanses gently without stripping my skin, and I’ve noticed a big improvement in dryness and irritation. I love that it’s free from unnecessary chemicals—just simple, effective ingredients. Will definitely be buying again!

I've been charged for my shipping, what do I do?
Please don’t worry - we will refund the excess postage charge. Some of our products have been made to fit Royal Mail Large Letter sizes. The Natural Soap and Shaving Soap are both made to be 85g and have 15g of packaging. Sometimes the bar may be a little bigger and so it takes the whole product over 100g, which can incur a postage charge if we miss this when shipping. If this has happened to you, please let us know by sending us an email and include a receipt of the surcharge. We will refund you the difference.

What is curing?
We manufacture our soap using the Cold Process method of production. After the soap has been made, it is cut to size and then cured for at least 30 days. This is where the soap is allowed to rest in a well ventilated room to allow excess moisture to evaporate. The result is a much harder bar which lasts longer, produces a better lather and is gentler on the skin.

What should I do if I have an adverse reaction to this product?
All Skin Salve products are formulated for sensitive skin, but if you experience redness, irritation, or discomfort, discontinue use immediately. Rinse the affected area with water and avoid applying any additional skincare products that may further irritate the skin. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional.

Why should you avoid SLS?
Data has shown that SLS can destroy the delicate lipid layers which keep skin supple and smooth. SLS can also dry out skin and hair, making it dull. In damaging the skin it can also make it easier for other toxins to penetrate and can increase the risk of infections.
