Tallow Balm
Beef Tallow
Making Tallow balm for the cold weather season. Tallow Balm or Whipped Tallow Balm both are great for the skin.
INGREDIENTS
3.5 ounces Tallow (about ½ cup melted)
2 Tablespoons Oil (like SweetAlmond or Jojoba)
10 drops of Essential Oil (we like 3 drops clove and 7 drops sweet orange or 10 drops lavendar)
DIRECTIONS
Gently melt tallow in a double boiler. I melt mine in a glass jar on a low heat hot plate. It’s low heat melting.
Remove from heat. Let cool slightly,then mix in the oil and essential oil(s).
Pour into containers for use and let cool completely. This is a balm. It can be used as is or…
For whipped balm, let cool until slightly hardened.
Mix using a hand or standing mixer until whipped and soft. (see Note.)
Enjoy!
Note: Whipping tallow balm incorporates air and can shorten it’s shelf life. If you are making whipped tallow balm, do so in small batches to use up quickly.
