Honey Tallow Balm
This simple honey tallow balm uses clean ingredients for a nourishing and hydrating lotion. Helps skin feel smoother and reduces blemishes.
Servings: 5 ounces
Equipment
- Stand mixer (or hand mixer)
Ingredients
- ½ cup tallow (grass-fed)
- 1 tsp beeswax pellets (optional)
- 1 TBSP raw honey
- 1 TBSP tamanu oil (or other carrier oil)
- 10-15 drops essential oils (sweet orange and/or tea tree for acne)
Instructions
- Add tallow and beeswax to the top of a double boiler and melt over low heat.
- Once it’s completely liquid add the tamanu or other carrier oil, essential oils, and honey and stir.
- Pour the tallow balm into a mixing bowl and let it cool in the fridge until it's hardened some, but not rock hard.
- Use a mixer to cream the tallow balm until it's smoothed and whipped looking.
- Transfer the tallow balm into glass jars to store.
Notes
- Store the honey tallow balm in a cool, dry place.
- The honey may want to separate as the product cools. Stirring as it cools and mixing well helps prevent this.
