Pioneer Soap
Old-fashioned soap at it's best! Produces a rich, creamy lather even in cold water. A good facial, body, and hair soap. Yes, this is good for cleaning everything. It's great to take camping, as it is safe for run-off and completely all-natural. Speaking of which, it's great for use reenacting!
You might even use this for the base to some homemade laundry soap. I used a bar of this every morning, and it lasted me about six months. Tallow naturally makes bar soap very hard, and has been used for soap making since the 1820s. (And for those who don't know what it is... it is pure beef fat.)
Contains: Tallow, sodium hydroxide (lye), water. Unscented.

Living History accurately requires use of period correct items. The Pioneer soap dates back to the early 1800s, and is very typical of what our Old West homesteaders would have used on a daily basis.

The resin of both plants has been used medicinally and for spiritual practices for over 5,000 years, and with good reason.
