Whipped Tallow Honey Balm

This whipped tallow body balm hydrates and softens your skin, leaving it smooth without the greasy feel. The light texture absorbs quickly, providing long-lasting moisture with a hint of natural essential oils.

Materials

  • 1/2 cup cup tallow
  • 1 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or any carrier oil
  • 1 tbsp shea butter
  • Vitamin E oil a few drops
  • 10 drops essential oils optional

Instructions

  • In a double boiler, combine the tallow, shea butter, and carrier oil (avocado oil). Melt over low to medium heat, avoiding high heat to preserve the ingredients.
  • Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the raw honey.
  • Add a few drops of Vitamin E oil for extra skin nourishment.
  • If you're using essential oils, add 10 drops of your choice (like lavender, tea tree, or chamomile) for a soothing scent and added skin benefits.
  • To get that light, whipped texture, first place the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes to cool slightly. Then, grab a hand mixer and whip the mixture for a few minutes until it becomes nice and fluffy.

Notes

  • Since this recipe doesn’t contain water, it has a longer shelf life up to 6 months when stored in a cool, dry place. 
  • Vitamin E is added to help preserve freshness and extend the shelf life naturally.
