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,

Why is the mass of your soap much greater than the mass of lard you started with?

The mass of the soap is greater than the mass of lard due to the chemical reaction that occurs during saponification. When lard (a fat) reacts with an alkali, it produces soap and glycerol. This reaction can incorporate water and other materials, resulting in a final product that has a greater mass than the initial amount of lard used. Additionally, the soap may also contain unreacted lye or water, further contributing to the overall increase in mass.

These fats and oils undergo a chemical reaction called saponification when combined with an alkali, typically sodium hydroxide, to produce soap. The choice of fats and oils affects the soap's properties, such as lathering ability and moisturizing qualities.
