Ingredients
0 servings
2jars
small
32gtallow
pure, organic, unscented, grass-fed
10gshea butter
or mango butter
5ghoney
organic, raw, local
1 ozface oils
I like to use jojoba, rosehip seed oil, Marula oil, and argan oil It does not matter how much of each oil you use as long as it totals to 1 oz
5galoe vera
I have an aloe plant that I use, but you can also use aloe from a tube, as long as it is pure, 100% aloe
5 dropsvanilla essential oil
optional, if your face is very sensitive, dry, or irritated, do not use any essential oils
Instructions
Step 1
In a large heat-safe bowl, weigh your tallow and shea butter separately.
Step 2
Meanwhile, prepare a pot of simmering water and place the heat safe bowl over the water so the shea butter and tallow are gently heated.
Step 3
Remove from heat and add the oils (not essential oil yet) and honey. Stir until mostly dissolved.
Step 4
Place your bowl in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes until it begins to solidify and turn an almost dark green color. You do not want it to be completely solid, but look like it is waxed over.
Step 5
You can now add the add in the aloe and essential oils (because they are sensitive to heat).
Step 6
Use a hand or stand mixer to whip on high for around 10 minutes until the tallow balm is pale, creamy, and has air pockets
Step 7
Fill small jars with the tallow balm and store in the refrigerator or a cool dark place until ready to use.
