I bet this smells wonderful. 🥰 Your music and your voice made for such an enjoyable video. I hope it is ok to share a things in the spirit of kindness and helping each other? Because this product doesn't contain water or an emulsifier, it is actually a balm, not a lotion. Also, if you weigh the tallow and olive oil right into the container used for melting, that will save a dish and be more accurate in measurements than using a measuring cup. Finally, try pouring it while still heated and liquid into the bowl that will be used to whip it, and put that bowl into the fridge. That is much easier than scraping the solidified mix out of the smaller container. Hopefully these tips are helpful to you, and thank you again for your lovely content. Keep up the great work!
Julianne- your hair is gorgeous! Curious to know- how do you care for your hair naturally? I have super hard well water, and am having a super hard time finding a natural way to keep my super long hair silky, and not dull/greasy. Any tips? I'd love to see a hair routine/product.demo!
How do you store it? On the counter? In the fridge? Will it melt in a warm house? Can I use jojoba oil instead of olive oil? Sorry, I'm full of questions. I have home rendered tallow in my freezer that I've been wanting to turn into lotion and this looks so creamy and amazing!
I just store it on the counter in the bathroom in an airtight jar. If the temp gets above 75ish degrees it will melt. I've never used jojoba oil, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't in this recipe. Blessings!
I keep mine in the refrigerator, just so it'll last longer. I don't want the full amount to go rancid and end up being wasted. I learned the hard way 🤦♀️ For daily use, I transfer a very small amount to a jar, just to leave on the bathroom counter. It can always be refilled when needed 😊
I use jojoba oil as I don't like olive oil on my skin. It will go rancid too. I a,so add lanolin as my skin loves it. I even added some left cocoa butter. I keep mine in front of wood stove in winter to keep soft. The lotion definitely responds to house temp. I got my liquid oil to tallow ratio off and mine is too hard, but it still is wonderful. I could remelt it and add oil and whip again, but I'm too lazy. Tallow is very shelf stable, so it's the liquid oil you add that can cause the lotion to go rancid. My skin loves it. It's thick and doesn't absorb quickly, so I slather myself after an early evening shower and give it time to absorb before going to bed. I do not use essential oils. I love fragrance but I use the lotion a lot in winter and essential oils are not meant for that frequency of use. I used my immersion blender as I don't have a stand mixer.
Both lavender and frankincense essential oils are amazing for your skin health, and they are my preferred sense as well. You could either substitute or omit the oils if you desire. Just make sure to read up on any essential oil you want to put on your skin. Some essential oils are wonderful and others aren't the best on your skin. Blessings!

Since it all starts out as a liquidn why not dump it all in together? Then refrigerate to solidify. I want to make some but don't want the mess I'd end up making. Also, where do you source your lanolin from?

melt your tallow and oil in the mixing bowl as a double boiler and refrigerate in the same bowl save on transfer loss.
Thanks for sharing. I have thought about making some of this unscented for my daughters hands in the winter. They get so dry and cracked.

That looks amazing! Im definitely going to try this lotion recipe ❤
Faster to use a scale instead of a measuring cup 😊
Have you ever added castor oil to lotion recipes? If so, how much did you add?
Could this tallow lotion be used on your face as well? Looks lovely!
I use it as my primary face moisturizer and love it!
Why not add lanolin to melted oils for equal distribution? I melt the tallow prior to measuring in order for more accurate measuring.

I find if I leave my tallow lotion out it can develop a gamey smell

Thanks for the presentation! Have you ever thought of or used fresh lemon oil (from fresh lemon skin) as an ingredient for fragrance?
Citrus oils are photosensitizing, so you wouldn't want to use them if you are going outside.
Orange oil makes your skin more prone to sunburns. Lemon oil actually helps heal your skin with a base like rendered tallow its perfect....
Be sure that the essential oil(s) that you select are safe to apply to your skin and won't irritate your skin and eyes. There are a few to avoid.
This looks amazing! Thank you!
I love your family’s videos! Where did you get that metal kettle from? I would prefer to use something like that than my pots. Thanks in advance.
Any craft store that carries soap making supplies is likely have a similar kettle. Amazon also carries them, which is where I bought mine 😊
Question: What is the reason for placing the tallow & EVOO in the fridge to harden?
So it can be whipped into lotion
Can this lotion be used on face?
Are the Lavender and frankenscence best for skin or is that just a scent preference?

Where did you get that big tub of tallow ?
Lavender is an endocrine disrupters. It is great for many things but not something for every day
Frankincense is very good for aging skin!!!

Also, where do you source your lanolin from?
It is much easier to weigh out the ingredients and more accurate
Can you use the lanolin from the breast cream in the lotion?
It’s been years since I had that cream in the house, but it probably wouldn’t hurt to use it. Most of the recipes for Tallow cream don’t use lanolin.
Can you cook with it like that?

Q Why not use certified therapeutic grade EOs for those added benefits? I'm confused
She used essential oils, not fragrance oils. They may not be "certified therapeutic grade", but they're still steam distilled essential oils.
@@MNMMOMMA2 ah, thanks so much!
@@Deanawat You're welcome 😊
