If you love rich natural skincare that actually leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized, you are going to LOVE this oatmeal tallow lotion body butter.

It’s creamy, soothing, deeply nourishing, and surprisingly simple to make at home.

I’ve been obsessed with whipped tallow skincare lately because it makes my skin feel so hydrated without all the extra fillers found in many store bought lotions.

Adding colloidal oatmeal makes this recipe feel even more calming and gentle, especially for dry or sensitive skin.

This homemade tallow body butter has a soft whipped texture that melts beautifully into the skin and feels incredibly luxurious.
