Easy Tallow Balm Recipe
Discover the secret to radiant skin with this DIY Tallow Balm Recipe!
Servings: 6 ounces
Equipment
- 8 ounce storage container
Ingredients
- 3 oz Tallow
- 2 oz Jojoba oil
- 1 oz Beeswax Optional, leave it out for a more creamy finish.
- 15-20 drops Essential oils optional
Instructions
- Begin by melting the beeswax, tallow, and jojoba oil in a double boiler.
- Once melted, remove from the heat and let it cool down until it starts to set up. Stir it every couple of minutes to ensure the ingredients are well incorporated.
- If using essential oils, add them in right before the ingredients start to solidify.
- Once the mixture is set up but not firm, whip it with an immersion blender or hand mixer. Transfer to an airtight container and allow to cool completely before using.
Notes
- If you use essential oils, be sure to add them before the ingredients are set up.
- Store this tallow balm in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
- Wipe out the double boiler with a paper towel while it’s still warm but not hot before washing it out. You don’t want any beeswax going down your drain, as it’ll set and potentially block your pipes.
- Rather than a doubler boiler, you can use a glass bowl set atop a pot of water and bring it to a boil. You can also use a saucepan set over low heat, but it will take longer and you'll need to be careful not to let it burn.
- For an unbeatable anti-aging tool, apply the balm upwardly over your cheeks, chin, forehead, and between your brows. Give yourself a mini face massage, in essence!
