Diaper rash? Tallow balm heals rashes in record time. Too much sun? Tallow balm to the rescue. Tallow balm is even amazing as an anti-aging face cream. Or, you can chop it up finely with a knife. Both of those methods are somewhat labor intensive, though. If you can get the butcher to grind the fat for you, you’ll save yourself a lot of time and effort. You can use tallow balm for so many things. I love it for a full body moisturizer, anti aging and anti acne face cream, baby lotion, deep conditioning treatment for the ends of my hair, sunburn and diaper rash remedy, lip moisturizer, minor skin wound or rash soother, and for fading scars and stretch marks.

When you look for beef fat to render, you’ll want to look for fat from 100% grass fed, grass finished cattle. That will give you the highest nutrient content in the finished tallow. It also helps reduce wrinkles and age spots and smooth out your skin while you sleep, leaving it soft, smooth, and well-prepared for the day ahead. Ingredients needed for tallow balm Because of this, when we are rendering tallow for use in skin care, we prefer the wet method. The wet method of rendering tallow is slightly more involved but it leaves you with a beautiful, odorless tallow. I’ve always followed this video to render tallow for making tallow balm. How to Make Tallow Balm Whole-body natural skin care for face, lips, hands, feet, and body. The purest, most natural ingredients of any skincare product (see organic Product FAQ). For healthy skin. For great-looking skin. For all manner of skin conditions. Our Tallow Balm is soft, spreadable, and easy to use. It is paleo-friendly skin care. Since it’s rendered animal fat, tallow is incredibly similar to the chemistry of our own skin. So, when issues like dryness, acne, or eczema arise, tallow can soothe the skin and provide the exact mineral requirements needed for optimal healing.When tallow is solid, remove tallow from bowl and scrape bottom of tallow cake again to remove any discoloration.

Once all of the tallow and water is strained, put it in a cool place so that the tallow can harden. That dry method does tend to leave behind a bit of a beef aroma in the finished tallow, but that can be just fine if you’re only cooking with it. This method I’m about to show you is perfect for when you want odorless, white tallow. Pin it for Later Tallow is so much purer, so much more compatible with our skin, and works so much better than any commercial lotion. You have to try it to believe it.

A perfect baby balm

Our Original tallow & honey balm is the most effective natural moisturiser in the world. Made from 100% grass-fed Irish beef tallow & raw Irish honey it contains the best bioavailable nutrients and antioxidants to boost skin repair and provide deep, intense moisturisation. Tallow is balm is made from rendered beef fat. I get my beef fat from our local farm/butcher shop, Iverstiens. Local shops are a more sustainable option because they focus on providing high quality and natural meat products to the local community. They take the best care of their animals and they are VERY transparent about their agriculture practices. Sometimes people want to know if they can use lard for skin like you can use tallow for skin care. You can, but tallow is a much better choice.

Although most people refer to only beef fat as tallow, technically other animal fats can also be called by the same name. Some commercial types of tallow contain fat derived from multiple animals, including mutton, pigs and hogs. If you want a tallow face cream for acne prone skin, I would make whipped tallow balm and add the Zit Fighter Synergy from Plant Therapy. It is full of skin clearing essential oils, and works so well with all the nutrients in grass fed tallow. Many consider the best quality beef tallow to be rendered from the fat around the kidneys, although it can also be made from rendering other fat. This fatty tissue around the kidneys stores many nutrients, especially when the cattle is grass-fed. It depends how you look at it, and how much you use. The highest quality leaf fat from around the inside of the internal organs will give you the hardest, highest quality, most nutrient dense beef fat, with the smoothest texture.Tallow is nourishing and high in vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Vitamin E is especially important for aging skin since it has potent antioxidative properties that protect the skin cells from damaging UV light and reduce existing damage. With this, tallow effectively handles free radicals and prevents fine lines and superficial wrinkles from developing. With regular use, you can feel your skin becoming softer and more radiant. That means it may actually provide some benefits, such as supplying you with fats and cholesterol that are needed to fuel the brain and produce hormones. Years ago, when I misplaced my regular moisturizer in a move, I discovered by happy accident that tallow is uniquely compatible with our skin’s biology, leaving it supple and nourished after use.Rich infat soluble vitamins A, D, and K along witha saturated fat ratio that closely resembles what ourcells use to maintain integrity, it absorbs easily without leaving a greasy residue behind. You can make tallow balm in a solid form, or you can whip it. The solid form lasts the longest, since no air incorporated. The whipped form is the easiest to use, since it is light and fluffy, a lot like whipped cream. The whipped form is my personal favorite. Get my tallow lotion bar recipe here.
