What is beef tallow and how do I get it?
Beef tallow is raw beef fat that has been rendered down in order to remove impurities. This creates a new product that is clean and shelf-stable. You can either render your own beef tallow or you can purchase from a local farmer. There are purchasing options online, but please ensure that you are sourcing from a trusted vendor. It is important when using tallow for skincare that it is 100% grass fed so that the product is of the highest quality.
Why use pecan oil?
- Pecan oil is known for its hydrating properties.
- Pecan oil contains antioxidants that help protect the skin from damage and reduce the appearance of aging.
- Pecan oil is less likely to clog pores than other oils, making it a good option for all skin types.
- Pecan oil contains stearic acid which helps the skin feel soft and springy.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup 100% Grass-Fed Beef Tallow
- 4 Tbsp Pecan Oil
- 30 drops Essential Oil of your choice (we used mint and eucalyptus)
Instructions:
- Melt tallow on low heat in a double boiler.
- Remove from heat and cool slightly before mixing in pecan oil and essential oil(s).
- Let cool until slightly hardened.
- Mix with hand mixer or stand mixer until whipped and soft.
- Transfer into glass jars and enjoy!
This moisturizer is good for one year. Store in a cool, dark location. I like to keep mine in the fridge for an extra refreshing and cooling sensation.
