How to Make Tallow Balm

Tallow obtained by scooping the fat off the top of a chilled container of beef broth will likely have more moisture than traditionally rendered tallow. For that reason it tends to go bad quickly. Stick with the traditional process and your finished product should last about a year at room temperature.

Makes approximately ½ cup - I fill a 4 ounce jelly jar to the brim when I make a batch.

3.5 ounces tallow by weight - about ½ cup melted ( Buy it here or render your own tallow using this method)

2 tablespoons olive oil

27 drops essential oil for face application, or up to 54 drops for body application - optional, see suggestions in the post above. If you’re making this balm as a natural diaper balm for babies under two, use up to 8 drops of a child-safe essential oil.
