Our story
Made the old-fashioned way
Handcrafted soap from the foothills of East Tennessee
Who we are
At Backwoods Render, we believe the best products are made the old-fashioned way—with quality ingredients, honest craftsmanship, and attention to every detail.
Nestled in the foothills of East Tennessee, we handcraft every bar of soap in small batches using traditional hot-process methods. Our soaps are made with rendered beef tallow, olive oil, fresh well water, and carefully selected fragrance oils to create a rich, long-lasting bar that's as practical as it is enjoyable to use.
Backwoods Render was born from a passion for the outdoors and a respect for traditional skills. Whether it's working with your hands, spending time in the woods, or appreciating products built to last, those values are at the heart of everything we make.
We don't believe in cutting corners or chasing trends. Instead, we focus on creating simple, dependable soap that cleans well, lasts longer, and brings a little bit of the outdoors into your everyday routine.
When you purchase from Backwoods Render, you're supporting a small American business that values quality over quantity and takes pride in every bar that leaves the workshop.
Thank you for supporting handmade craftsmanship. We're honored to be a small part of your daily routine.
