How a Bar of Soap Changed Everything . . .
It started with a trip to Thailand in October of 2026. During out travels, I found a simple bar of Turmeric Soap. It was a revelation for my skin, but as a chef and someone who generally loves creating things, I knew that I could take that inspiration and ground it in something even more powerful: high-quality tallow, and small-batch craftsmanship.

We believe your skin deserves the same quality you’d expect on your dinner plate. That’s why our foundation is built on high-quality, nutrient-dense Tallow—a traditional ingredient that mimics the skin's natural oils like nothing else can. We boost our bars with earth-mined clays, activated charcoal, and pure botanicals. You won't find 'fragrance' or synthetic fillers here. If it isn't functional, skin-loving, and sustainably sourced, it doesn't make it into a Smart Aleck batch.
