Absolutely! It is cleaned lard which I find has no smell to it. I use it in my soap recipes all the time because it is a very cheap alternative to some of the more expensive oils. As a matter of fact I just purchased 2 more large containers to make soap with it. Did you know that pure lard soap with 0% superfatting is the best laundry soap?
Here is a great lard recipe I use all the time using Armour Lard for my bath soaps.
approx 4 lb batch of soap
Armour Lard 24. oz
Coconut Oil 12. oz
Palm Oil 12. oz
Lye 7.28 oz
After soap has come to trace superfat with either shea butter or cocoa butter at 2.4 oz
This makes for a very lathery and conditioning hard bar of soap.
I hope this answers your question and HAPPY SOAPING!
Sincerely,
