Base Ingredients

Method

Melting the Base

  1. 1

    Melt Tallow and Coconut Oil

    In a double boiler, combine the beef tallow and coconut oil. Heat gently over low to medium heat until both ingredients are completely melted and well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Beeswax

    Once the tallow and coconut oil are melted, add the beeswax pellets to the mixture. Continue to heat and stir until the beeswax is fully melted and integrated.

Incorporating Essential Oils

  1. 3

    Add Essential Oils

    Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Add the lavender essential oil, tea tree essential oil, and vitamin E oil. Stir well to combine.

Adding Optional Ingredients

  1. 4

    Mix in Optional Additives

    If desired, stir in honey and herbal infusion. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Cooling and Storing

  1. 5

    Pour into Containers

    Carefully pour the mixture into clean, sterilized containers or jars. Allow them to cool at room temperature until solid.

  2. 6

    Store

    Once cooled and solidified, cap the containers and store in a cool, dark place. The tallow skin care product should last for several months.
