Lard

Pasture-Raised, Pure, Hand-Rendered USA Lard feeds your hair and skin extra-nourishing balanced fatty acids and the world’s highest Vitamin D3 content, second only to cod liver oil. Lard has been used in haircare since medieval times for skin health, hair growth, and hair health management. Our lard is carefully hand-rendered to keep its precious rare nutrients in-tact.
Lard is the 2nd fat in the world that is highest in Vitamin D3, second only to cod liver oil! Vitamin D3 is the most bioavailable form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D delivers a myriad of health benefits, including supporting healthy skin and hair. As it turns out, Vitamin D3 in its activated form does all the wonders on your skin regeneration and other metabolic functions in the skin. Vitamin D3 is also involved in various signaling pathways in the hair follicle and has a direct (and critical) role in the hair growth (aka anagen) phase. Topical application of vitamin D3 has been shown to render protection against damage caused to the skin by UV light. Vitamin D3 reduces cell death, promotes cell survival, and reduces redness and inflammation.
Pasture-Raised, properly fed lard is low on the comedogenic scale: it will not clog pores nor cause inflammation, in fact it may help with those issues. Since it is slightly higher in unsaturated fatty acids, it provides a more bubbly lather and a squeakier clean.
Our Lard is:
  • Slowly and carefully hand-rendered in our facility from the farm-fresh raw source
  • NEVER bleached or ultra-processed for a “white look”
  • Pasture-Raised from LOCAL and USA small family farms

Buttermilk

Local, Raw, Farm-Fresh, Grass-fed, Hand-Cultured Buttermilk to feed your skin the perfect food – high in essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fatty acids. Full-fat Jersey cow buttermilk is higher than goat milk in lactic acid and has the same moisturization content. The famously beautiful Egyptian Queen Cleopatra was a wise proponent, bathing in fresh buttermilk daily.
Buttermilk is high in multiple different proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Farm-fresh, raw buttermilk can have dozens of naturally occurring probiotics along with alpha-hydroxy acids like lactic acid, which promote cell renewal and rejuvenation of beauty factors such as brightness, tone, and complexion maintenance. Milk is considered a “complete protein” and “near-perfect food” meaning it contains all nine of the essential amino acids necessary for your body to function at an optimal level, plus all the essential Omega 3, 6, & 9 fatty acids in balanced proportions in addition to most of the vitamins and minerals your body needs. And buttermilk is even better! If raw milk can grow a baby calf into a cow within a few months, think of what it does to your hair!
Our Buttermilk is:
  • Slowly and carefully hand-cultured from the farm-fresh raw source
  • When the farm-fresh raw buttermilk arrives in our facility, it is frozen and used first-in, first-out to ensure the best nutrient content
  • Grass-Fed and Pasture-Raised from LOCAL small family farms

Saponified Local Pasture-Raised Lard and Grass-Fed Local Raw Buttermilk

Most consumers would say this product has no scent detectable at all or that any scent detected is only due to the nature of the ingredients.

NO SCENT OF ANY KIND WAS ADDED AS AN INGREDIENT TO THIS PRODUCT.

This product was made in our one and only facility where we manufacture all of our products (scented and unscented). Atmospheric scent may or may not transfer to a detectable level over to any unscented product.

We use exclusively unscented molds for making unscented products, these are even stored in separate containers to help reduce atmospheric scent transfer.

We thoroughly clean all manufacturing tools and surfaces between each use and keep our unscented products completely separate from our scented products (not touching).

Please keep in mind that our mailer boxes, tissue papers, cards, and peanuts have also been sitting in our same small business facility where we make scented products.

If any atmospheric scent is detected by sensitive buyers, we recommend to let the unscented product sit out (for a few days to a few weeks) in a dry atmosphere devoid of any scent with good air flow to allow any atmospheric smells to dissipate. Usually after the first use, any detectable atmospheric smell transfers will dissipate.

Approximate Weight: 3.0-3.5 oz

Approximate Dimensions: 3″x 2.35″ x 1″

Best By Date: 12/28/2026

Store in a room-temperature, dry place out of direct sunlight.

We recommend using within 1 year of first use for best results, as scents and contents fade and break down faster over time once disturbed.

You may use our lard soaps for cleansing your body, your face, your hair, or for shaving! We recommend our all-in-one shampoo soaps as the best option for using as shampoo or shaving soaps, but with some extra effort in lathering, you can use our pure lard soaps as an alternative!

Please report any adverse reaction from using a product here: https://perma-earth.com/adverse-reaction-report/

This is for ALL products: To our current knowledge, we use all ingredients within the FDA (United States Food & Drug Administration) regulations. The safety factor of using any product depends on each individual’s medical condition(s) and sensitivities. Without consulting your medical practitioner prior to use, all consumers assume responsibility for any risks or health hazards from using a product for the manufacturer’s intended purposes. We never recommend allowing a product to be used outside of its intended purposes (i.e. ingesting a product created for external purposes only). We are not licensed healthcare providers: we cannot share medical advice or medically approve a product for any individual’s condition. We can only offer sales advice and we always advise a physician’s pre-approval before using any product.

All Perma-Earth products are only to be used as suggested or implied by their listing descriptions and informational tabs. It is the sole responsibility of the consumer to educate themselves on every product’s ingredients and proper usage before purchase and to seek medical advice from their healthcare provider before use.

If pregnant, nursing, planning to become pregnant, or will use a product on any dependent, please consult with your licensed healthcare provider before using any products. We do have products intended for babies and approved by our own personal pediatricians in our baby shop section. Even in these cases, we still advise a consultation with your personal healthcare provider before using any product on yourself or a dependent. Again, we are not responsible for individual reactions due to a medical condition, allergy, or special sensitivity. We advise everyone to use precaution with trying a product on themselves or a dependent.

TRANSPARENCY

Please note that at Perma-Earth LLC, we pride ourselves on being fully transparent with all of our ingredients, unlike many companies that hide other ingredients under one name or do not disclose the full ingredients list. All ingredients used in the amounts regulated by the INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) are clearly listed in every product’s online electronic listing descriptions and tabs via our ecommerce website at perma-earth.com (which you are viewing now). Consumers take the full risk of using the products as-intended by seller (whether suggested or implied) upon purchase.

TESTING

Furthermore, Perma-Earth LLC extensively tests their products in-house on their own limited personnel with their acknowledged consent. We do our absolute best to comply with the most up-to-date safety and usage requirements of each ingredient for the specific purposes of use or benefits intended from use. We also take great measures to maintain proper shelf-stability needs of the product to reduce or eliminate any possibility of microbial growth hazards derived from contamination during use or the natural environment within the specified use period from manufacture date. Please see each product’s expiration information contained in the online listing.

COMMUNICATION

Any consumer may contact us to request more information about suggested uses, specific ingredients of concern used in current formulations, or other manufacturing contact points at any time from us before or after purchase. To which we will do our best to relay the most accurate information to account for public safety concerns without compromising copyrights.

ALLERGENS

ALL PRODUCTS ARE PRODUCED AND STORED IN THE SAME FACILITY, OFTEN USING THE SAME EQUIPMENT CLEANED BETWEEN EACH USE. We cannot fully guarantee that especially sensitive allergic conditions such as to egg or dairy or gluten or latex are not cross-contaminated at a microscopic level. Please keep in mind that the epidermal system is not the same as the digestive system – many digestive allergens such as lactose or gluten intolerance only affects the internal digestive system only if and when ingested – please see your doctor for clarifications with your specific needs before purchase or use. If one has any known topical allergies/sensitivities to any of a product’s stated ingredients, we advise NOT to purchase or use that product.

UNIQUE REACTIONS

As stated prior, Perma-Earth takes all possible measures to pre-test every product on our own staff members and family members before offering a product for sale. Personal dissatisfactions or unique reactions experienced by consumers or their dependents are not the fault of the manufacturer (Perma-Earth LLC), as this is the consumer’s risk of responsibility to educate themselves on their unique sensitivities and to contact the company with any further questions.

For instance, if one has a rare reaction to a preservative, oil, or fragrance – this is a consumer’s sole risk of using the product being pre-informed of the product’s ingredients or description of use prior to purchase. One must also take into consideration the “inferred” use of an ingredient in another product that they have previously deemed safe for use… For instance, if one has no reaction to a “grapefruit scented with essential oils” product and yet has a reaction to an “grapefruit essential oil scented” product, that does not mean that only true grapefruit essential oil was used in the prior product, nor does this guarantee that one will not have a reaction to another grapefruit scented product, as everyone uses different ratios and sources. If one discovers a sensitivity to one of our ingredients, we suggest seeking medical advice and to contact us with as much detail as possible, including clear photographs for us to record and log. Please see our shop policies for further information of disclaimers and directions.

If any consumer has a unique sensitivity or reaction from using our products as intended (whether suggested or implied), please contact us for our records so that we may re-assess safety procedures and also consider changing the formulation if it does not impede with the original intent and purpose of the formula, or discontinue a product entirely. We record ALL reports of sensitivities and reactions for logging and review by the company periodically or on an as-needed basis to assess proper compensations and/or necessary changes to insure the safety and trust of our customers to the best of our abilities.

    Extremely moisturizing!

    allenwewd

    Our household has tried many soaps from PermaEarth and this is probably the most moisturizing, it lathers well and even feels like thicker suds compared to the other soaps. My bars (bought 2) had a light but distinct farm smell, I didn’t mind it (nice reminder of the limited and fresh ingredients) but my partner did not enjoy the smell. I will likely purchase again as a hand soap! My hair and skin (very curly and fine) responded well to this one, as they have to all their other soaps, I only follow with their conditioner occasionally as the soap seems to be enough most days. Looking forward to trying more of their products.

    The best soap

    Naomi White

    I’ve bought this so many times I’ve lost count. It’s my go-to for gentle cleansing and moisturizing. Very clean, and as someone with sensitive skin, I’ve never gotten any sort of irritation from it, like with other soaps. I’ve also gifted this to others who have told me that they love it. I would like it to have more lather, but you honestly can’t have everything! Lol. This soap is as pure as they come, and I’ll always have it on hand!

    Good Soap

    Diana Lopez Rodriguez

    If enjoy aromatherapy, this probably ain’t for you. I love scents, the only reason I ordered this one was because it was the least expensive option to try out. It’s unscented but it does give off a smell. It’s very moisturizing, it also lathers well! If you have very sensitive skin, this is probably best for you.

      Hi Diana! Thank you for your honest feedback, sometimes our unscented batches may have a slightly more “Farm-Fresh” smell than others due to the raw, organic ingredients from local, seasonal farms. Our theory is that it depends on the seasonal wild forage of the animals where we get our farm-fresh raw pasture-raised milk and fat from. I hope that helps to clarify your concerns! – Mariah, owner

    Good product!

    stwil620

    Overall I do like this product! One bar lasted me a little over 2 months with washing my hair every other day. The photo and video show how big the bar started compared to after 2 months of use. Also, I was HIGHLY impressed that the bar didn’t break in those 2 months!! I have tried other bars before and they never seem to dry out fully after taking a shower, but this bar was amazing at staying hard and keeping shape! Greatly appreciated! The adjustment to being able to get it all washed out took the full 2 months for me. I have long, super fine hair, and a lot of it, so it was super hard to get it all washed out. It wasn’t hard to get a good lather but it was hard to get it all rinsed out. Now that I have finally cracked the code it’s feeling much better. Still a little heavier than I’m used to, but it has definitely improved. I figured out that I needed to wash my hair in sections. I start in the front and suds it up super well, rinse thoroughly, and then repeat with the next section further back. I do about 3 sections in total and that has allowed me to rinse my hair out the best! All in all, great product, but not completely ideal for my hair type 🙂

      Hello and thank you for your valuable feedback! We are wondering if you have tried our lard and buttermilk shampoo soap bars located in our haircare menu? We highly suggest our shampoo soaps for hair as a first recommendation. We hope they will give you the results you are looking for! Please consider our Unscented Buttercream as a more suitable alternative to your shampoo as it will provide a better cleanse. Thank you and best wishes! -Mariah

    My First Love.

    Nathan Hettick

    This was the first product I ever tried from Perma-Earth! I fell in love. My normally broken-out and oily back started to clear up after my first shower using Pure & Simple Lard & Buttermilk! I love the regular fat version of this for my skin as it is the perfect balance of cleansing and moisturizing! I happen to also use this one as a face wash!! It is gentle enough to not irritate my skin – and my rosacea is typically bothered by most products! I have also noticed the amount of flaking in my skin is next to nothing after using this!!! I give this a 10/10.

  7. Question

    Carleigh Snead

    Can the Pure & Simple lard and buttermilk soap also be used for face, in place of a face cleanser? Or is it just for body use?

    I use this bar for hair, face and body. Clean and simple ingredients that nourish all three. This bar saves me money since I no longer purchase facial cleanser or regular shampoo. Win win for my skin/hair and my wallet.

    You may as well tack this body bar onto every order because why not?! For a great price point your skin and wallet will appreciate, this is the perfect product. While unscented, I found this makes little difference to me personally and I feel this bar lathers up slightly better in comparison to the Aloe-Spa body bar (also a great product). I highly recommend!

    I have switched back and forth between store-bought “better” soaps and this lard soap from perma earth. There is no comparison. This lard soap is so much better. I use it on head hair and body.

    Lard soap has changed my perception of clean. It gives a clean I have never felt, instead of “squeaky” clean, it’s more of a powdery feel without hands/skin feeling ashy afterwards. My hands and body are no longer feel dry, and lotion needs are next to none.
    I will never use plant based “soaps” again.
