Whipped Tallow Body Butter

Description

A deeply moisturizing, all-natural skin body butter made from grass-fed beef tallow, gently whipped with nourishing oils for a creamy texture. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, it mimics your skin's natural oils and is ideal for dry, sensitive, or eczema-prone skin.

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup of Rendered Grass Fed & Finished Beef Tallow
• 3 Teaspoons of Carrier Oil (like Jojoba, Olive, Sweet almond, or Avocado oil)
• 10 Drops of Frankincense Essential Oil
• 10 Drops of Essential Oils (optional – Lavender, Lemongrass, Sweet Orange, etc.)

Equipment

• 4 oz Mason Jars
• Liquid Measuring Cup
• Measuring Spoons
• Saucepan
• Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
• Small Mixing Bowl

Instructions

• Melt the Tallow

  Melt the tallow over a double boiler. (I add the tallow to a measuring cup and measure the liquid tallow in a saucepan with an inch of water.)
• Add the Carrier Oil

  Add the Carrier Oil (I use Jojoba Oil).
• Transfer and Chill

  Transfer the oils into a medium mixing bowl and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. (No more than 30 minutes! Working with solid tallow won't create a fluffy texture.)
• Whip the Tallow

  Place the softened tallow in a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, begin whipping on low to medium.
• Add Essential Oils

  Add essential oils and continue whipping on medium to high until the mixture is fluffy and creamy.
• Jar It

  Transfer to a clean, sterilized glass jar or tin. Store in a cool place. Use within 6–12 months.

Notes

• Sourcing matters: Use grass-fed, pasture-raised tallow for the highest nutrient content and best skin benefits.
• Texture control: More carrier oil = softer, more lotion-like; less oil = firmer balm.
• No scent version: Skip essential oils if using for sensitive skin or babies.
• Storage: Whipped tallow stays stable at room temp but can melt in high heat—store in a cool spot.
• Use it for: Face, body, lips, hands, feet, even as a diaper balm or makeup remover.
