Tallow Body Butter
**Disclaimer - this recipe is not meant for healing purpose. Perform your own research and tests.This is the only lotion I use now - my skin has never been more moisturized or softer! And it kicked Doug's eczema to the curb!
Equipment
- Double Boiler
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 104 grams - grass fed tallow
- 1/8 cup 28 grams - shea butter
- 1/8 cup 30 mL avocado oil
- 30-40 drops favorite essential oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a double boiler melt tallow and shea butter
- Once it is melted, remove from heat and allow it too cool slightly
- Once slightly cooled, add in avocado oil and essential oils, if using
- Place in the refrigerator and allow to set up for about 45 minutes or until your finger when placed in it holds an indent.
- At this point, you can use a hand mixer and whip the lotion for a whipped body butter.
- Store in an airtight, glass container like a mason jar. I do not refrigerate mine.
