Ingredients

  • 3.5 ounces Beef tallow
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil or other oil of choice, such as sesame oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil
  • 25-50 drops Essential oils your choice

Instructions

  • Melt the tallow over medium heat. Once melted, remove the tallow from the heat and transfer it to a medium-sized bowl. Allow the tallow to cool at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes.
  • Add the olive oil to the tallow.
  • Now add the essential oils of your choice. For this balm, you should add 25 drops of essential oil if making a face cream and 50 drops of essential oil if making a body cream.
  • Allow the mixture to cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Then remove the mixture from the refrigerator and use an electric hand mixer to whip the balm into a cream-like consistency.
  • Decant the balm into a lidded jar. Store in a cool dark place, such as a cabinet or pantry.
  • The shelf life of the balm is approximately 1 year. Please see "Important Information" in the Recipe Notes section below before using your Tallow Balm.
