-
- 1/2 Cup Grass Fed Tallow
- 1/4 Cup Organic Cold Pressed Olive Oil
- Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, Rosehip, and Chamomile Essential Oils (OR any essential oils you prefer, this is just the combo I came up with.)
- Stand mixer or Electric hand mixer for whipping.
- In a glass bowl, melt the tallow over a small pot of boiling water.
- Once the tallow is melted, let it cool for approximately 10 minutes.
- Add in the 1/4 cup of olive oil.
- Begin whipping the oil mixture using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer. As the mixture gets back to a cool room temperature it will being to turn white and solidify. The mixing adds air into it so that it’s a spreadable, lotion consistency. I generally have to whip it for about 20 minutes.
- Continue to whip the mixture as it solidifies and add in the essential oils. I used 2 drops of each oil listed in the ingredients.
- The consistency should look and feel similar to whipped body butter (or like whipped buttercream frosting).
- Using a rubber spatula, transfer the whipped tallow balm to a small jar and store it in a cool dark place. I keep mine in my nightstand drawer.
