Winter Hand Cream

This makes between 4-5 ounces.

Materials

  • 1/4 cup tallow grass-fed if possible
  • 1/4 cup cocoa butter
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons carrier oil like jojoba almond, or olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon arrowroot powder
  • 8 drops essential oils optional

Instructions

  • In a double boiler, melt down the tallow, cocoa butter, and coconut oil together. Stir gently until everything is fully liquid.
  • Remove and let harden in the freezer for about 30 minutes or so.
  • Add in your essential oils to the carrier oil.
  • Whip the harden mixture until light and fluffy.
  • Slowly add in the carrier oil.
  • Finally add in the arrowroot powder and mix one more time.

Notes

  • Corn starch can be used instead of arrowroot powder.
  • Shea butter can be used instead of cocoa butter.
