What to label "lard" on ingredient list?

[Joy Wolff]

I like soap made from lard. But what other name can be used for lard? I'm sure listing "lard" on the ingredients list won't go over big!?? I want to be honest, just not stupid. Thank you.

I just call it out as lard. Any questions about it. I just educate them. To the fact it's not lard after saponification. Besides it's only 4 characters on a label.

Lard. It is what it is. In 10+ years I've only had an issue with the word for those who avoid animal products.

The inci name for saponified lard is sodium lardate.

I make my ingredients list using the "what goes in the pot" method. And lard is ... well ... lard.

I've never had anyone complain -- most people are far more interested in the fragrance than the ingredients list. And those who do read the list are usually interested in whether the soap contains animal products of any sort.

The INCI name for lard is adeps suillus. But no one will remotely have a clue what that means. And in all fairness, you'd have to use INCI nomenclature for everything if you use this for lard.
