Flip over and top of the list of ingredients . . . sodium tallowate.

henkverhaar said:Of course it is. No cows are slaughtered explicitly for producing tallow for making soap -- but in order to get the tallow, the cow HAD to be slaughtered so, as far as my interpretation of the EU rules goes (yes, there are rules regulating what and how you can mention on your label whether animals weren't harmed), you are not allowed to proclaim that no animals were hurt in manufacturing if your ingredients can only be retrieved from dead animals...
