DEXTER tallow soap with lemongrass

DEXTER – beef tallow soap with lemongrass essential oil

Zesty, fresh, and with just the right amount of character.

DEXTER tallow soap with lemongrass is for those who want a little extra freshness in their washing routine. Lemongrass essential oil gives the soap a zesty, citrusy aroma, making it a great choice for a morning shower, a post-workout refresh, or everyday use.

The name Dexter suits this soap well—small, yet full of character. The soap itself doesn't need a complex formula or an overpowering scent to get noticed. It is a simple beef tallow soap, with lemongrass adding just the right amount of zest.

I handcraft DEXTER in Estonia in small batches. The soap’s primary ingredient is purified beef tallow and lemongrass essential oil gives it a fresh, distinctively recognizable scent.

DEXTER for washing hair

Tallowmari soaps can also be used to wash your hair, but if you have previously used liquid shampoo, washing with soap might feel quite different at first.

At first, your hair may feel heavier, frizzier, or "squeaky." The results are influenced by hair type, water hardness, previous hair care products, and your own washing routine.

I have written about this in more detail in a blog post. "Confused about which soap to choose?"

If you wish, you can use an acidic rinse after washing:

1–2 tsp apple cider vinegar + 0.5 l cool water.

Pour the mixture over your hair as a final rinse.

How to use DEXTER beef tallow soap?

Wet your skin, hair, or beard. Lather the soap between your hands or directly on the area to be washed, and massage the resulting foam into your skin or hair. Rinse thoroughly.

To shave, lather the soap between your hands and apply the foam to your skin.

Leave the soap to dry after use onto the soap dish, where the water can drain away freely. This way, the handmade soap lasts longer.
