I had the same question.  Ivory has a toll-free number on the package to
call "if you have any questions or comments about Ivory."  I called to
ask, and sure enough, "Ivory does contain some tallow."  Tallow counts
as natural because its not man made.  Other soaps are similar.  The best
solution I've found so far is kosher soap: It's made entirely from
coconut oil.
