Tallow in Woods of Windsor?

I just bought a refill of Woods of Windsor and it mentions Sodium Tallowate as the first ingredient. The soap WITH the mug didn't contain tallow according to the ingredient list.
Did they reformulate and was this refill part of an old batch?
 
I'm surprised that Woods of Windsor is being sold. I have an old (2 years or so) mug with soap and the soap contained tallow. Last year I read somewhere that Woods of Windsor was going out of business and would no longer be sold. It appears that someone else must have picked up the company and may have changed the formula to contain palm oil like many other soaps are going to, although there must be some NOS out there of the old variety. The tallow-based version is very good.

Using Palmolive cream and sticks as a measure, I would say that palm oil can be used for good shaves. I still like tallow better, but it's close.
 
I emailed smallflower.com about tallow in their Woods of Windsor refills. Guess what the #1 ingredient is. :w00t:

Are you going to buy it?

It performs well, but mine lost it scent somewhat and smelled just like natural unscented soap would smell like (I guess), but after milling it got it scent partially back so it goes in my rotation and I'm thinking to pick up some more.
