Servings 8 oz

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup tallow
  • 1/2 tbsp almond oil
  • 1 tbsp beeswax
  • 1/2 cup magnesium flakes
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 25 drops essential oils optional
  • Since this recipe includes water, I highly recommend adding a natural preservative to prevent mold and bacteria, something like Leucidal Complete, or Germall Plus, are a great choice.

Instructions
 

  • Boil some water. Once boiled, add ½ cup to the magnesium flakes and stir until the flakes are melted.
  • Then, melt the tallow and beeswax in a double broiler until fully melted.
  • Stir in the almond oil.
  • Allow both the tallow mixture and the magnesium to cool down.
  • Once they are the same temperature, slowly pour the magnesium oil into the tallow mixture while using a immersion blender.
  • Once all combined, add in the essential oil and mix one more time.
