Cool 🎉 but idk what lavender oil you have but i think 3-5 drops is enough
Great video! What a nice soothing balm for chapped hands!
It really is!
Please make a book! ■ A hard copy would be worth investing and having off grid. Thank you. Margie
I have definitely toyed with the idea ... so maybe I will 😊 ~ Anja
Please do Anya, I'd buy it 🤞🤞🤞
I would buy your book!
Where can i buy white tallow? Im new at this 😞
gonna make this tonight
Hi. I have made 2 batches 1 with olive oil and 1 with grape seed oil and essential oil. Each batch has developed some kind of discolouration or contamination of some sort after about 3 weeks. Any ideas? Thanks.
Not sure what happened but the olive oil has a green tint. Maybe the tallow wasn't very pure?
How long would this whip last for in the medicine cabinet? or should you keep it in the fridge?
If you are keeping your tallow balm in an airtight container in a dry and cool spot, it will last a long time, typically between 6 to 12 months. However, ultimately it depends on the quality and purity of the ingredients you use. Also, only use clean hands or utensils to scoop it out of the jar. You can extend its shelf life by adding some Vit. E oil or rosemary essential oil.😊 ~ Anja
Hi, is bear fat a good substitute for tallow?
I have a whole article in which I am showing you exactly how to render your own beef tallow: ourgabledhome.com/how-to-render-beef-tallow-no-special-equipment-needed/
If you would rather buy it, you can easily find beef tallow online or in your grocery store. 😊 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome I live on a farm, I have plenty of tallow. 🙂
I’m just wondering if bear fat would be good to use also.
I like it when my woman has that gamey smell, just kidding. I am trying out your recipe and making some for my wife. she will be surprised coming from her manly husband. Thank you
Sounds great! Hope you and you wife enjoy it!
@@OurGabledHome She did, so did her sisters and my daughters......I'm gonna needs more supplies. Thank you for this tutorial. God bless
I bought epic rendered beef tallow, jojoba oil and lavender essential oils at Whole Foods, followed this recipe and my whipped tallow balm came out perfectly! Thank you for showing us this recipe!
Yay! I am so glad to hear that! Enjoy your new tallow balm ~ Anja
I wasn’t sure if it was ok to use that tallow?
@@jennybohning6565Its not lol🤦🏾♂️
I had never thought of just whipping it.
Love all your tricks and tips ❤️
Thank you! I am so glad to hear this 💛 ~ Anja
Can it be used in oily/acne prone skin?
Yes, IMHO oily skin is often overreactive and will calm down once you're not stripping the skin off of its own oils and acne can often be more of a hormonal/stress issue ~ Anja
Should the tallow balm be refrigerated since there are no preservatives?
Prob not necessary but I do it anyway
I'm curious if you have made this with anything besides beef? We live in Asia and eat primarily mutton, and I would love to learn to do this! I recently found your channel and am loving it!
I have only made it with tallow but would imagine you can make it with any rendered animal fat. Not sure about the smell but it sounds like it's worth a try 😊 ~ Anja
I made it with mutton tallow and it works perfectly
@@lisawright4360 thanks for your reply - that's great to hear!
Die Shea-Butter-Creme von Bio Allgäu hat meine Haut revolutioniert - sie ist endlich wieder weich und gepflegt.
Prima! Vielen Dank!
would coconut oil be ok?
Yes!
Why not bees wax?
Sure you can use beeswax but it will make the cream thicker ~ Anja
Such a great video. I just made cream using mango butter, a little beeswax, jojoba oil, and magnesium oil. It is very oily on w rubbed in though😕😕 I don’t want to throw it out. Would love to add in tallow. I used more of the butter and very little oil, so idk why it ends up feeling so oily. Would love thoughts please ♥️🙏🏼
I just made it following your instructions. It turned out great. And you're correct, there's a lingering aroma of tacos to it that it will not go away. But I see why it's great for skin. My only concern is that it's going to clog the shower drainpipes, because it's so thick and dense. I don't think I will apply it to all my body after shower, just sparingly to heels or hands. Thank you for sharing.
Hello .. Can i add alovera jell in it? And how long it last?
Not sure about that. You can always try, though
You make it look so easy! Look forward to trying!😊
Hope you enjoy it! 😊~ Anja
Is another oil, like the jojoba oil, necessary? Can I just whip the tallow alone?
A good carrier oil is needed. I like using jojoba oil but depending on your budget and skin care needs you can also use olive oil, almond oil, avocado oil, or argan oil. Feel free to check this full blog post for their benefits: ourgabledhome.com/how-to-make-tallow-balm-for-healthy-skin-step-by-step-guide/ 😊 ~ Anja
So If a whip the tallow alone it won't work? It won't form a cream? I don't have access to these oils, unfortunately.@@OurGabledHome
HI is lard suitable instead of tallow? Thanks sue 😊
Yes, that would work also 😊 ~ Anja
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom! ❤
Anja, it looks like a super recipe. What is its shelf life? Thank you for sharing.
So glad you like this! Depending on the quality of your ingredients and how clean your hands (or tools) are when you scoop it out, it should easily last 6 months in a dry and cool place but possibly up to 12 months 😊 ~ Anja
Does it need to be kept refrigerated? Thank you!
If you use it up quickly it is shelf-stable for I keep mine in the fridge where it will last for months ~ Anja
Hello,
I like to find out where do you get your tallow. I’m also in California. Thank you💕
I typically get it from local farms that raise pastured animals. Often you can ask your butcher or get it online (amzn.to/3FaJYOa, aff link) 👍 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome Hello Anja, thank you for your responding. Looking forward to watch your next videos. I grew up in Hungary, lots of things are reminding me of home what you do and how you do it. I’m also very homie lady I try to make everything home just like we were thought by our grandmothers.
Thank you for your videos.
Good stuff thank you!!!
Glad you liked it!
Could you make this with Caster oil instead ?
You mean instead of the jojoba oil? Yes, but it will be thicker.
Hi! I plan on rendering and making some but I only want to make a small batch of balm. After rendering, if I keep in fridge or freeze, would the moisture be a factor when I pull it out to make the balm? Hope that makes sense. Thanks for the video!
Shouldn't make a difference ~ Anja
Easy recipe than you.. I have been using tallow on my face which I bought commercially.. I want to make my now I have seen this.. Is whipped tallow better for your body, and non whipped for your face??
I think you can use whipped or non-whipped for your face and body but the whipped is a bit easier to apply ~ Anja
Great instructions! I’m going to try this. Thanks for sharing 🤗💜🇨🇦
Have fun!
I bought 6 jars of Grass Fed Beef Tallow. It’s not white and smells beefy. I guess I need to render it? How do I do that? All I can find is Videos from people rendering big chunks of beef fat. I already got creamy tallow in the jar. What do I need to do?
Not sure what brand you got but mine only has a very faint beef smell. You could try rendering it again: th-cam.com/video/6QfV_XDF3do/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps ~ Anja
If you buy the jar of epic do you still need to melt it first? I know it’s softer than the block form, so I was just curious.
You want the tallow soft enough so that you can whip it and add the other ingredients ~ Anja
This is perfect. I just rendered tallow. ❤❤❤
Great! You will love this (whipped) tallow balm 😊 ~ Anja
Any reason this wouldn’t work with leaf lard? I have a bunch in my freezer from our homegrown pigs.
That would be perfect!
Have you ever tried making this with emu oil?
No, I haven’t
do you have to keep this refrigerated or its fine out? also how long does this last
It will last for months and possibly longer if you keep it in the fridge
I would like to know. How long will this balm stay fresh?
I have had mine on my night stand for months
Thank you for your recipe! Is it ok to use pork tallow for skin care? I happen to have some now and wondered.
Yes, lard is great, too
great video! how long does this last at room temp?
I have had mine at room temp for months
My hand mixer broke, and I haven't replaced it, but it seems yours is a nice one. Mine old one was bulky. What brand is yours? I have been using my countertop mixer but if I'm not using a large amount, it's hard to mix. Thanks.
This is mine (silver is currently not available): amzn.to/40FlV3j I have had it for over 8 years now 😃 ~ Anja
I just learned that lavender and melaleuca oils and melatonin raise estrogen and lower 😮.
Where did learn that?
do I need to store it in the fridge? and how long does it take until it gets bad? 😊
it'll easily last for months but you can also keep larger amounts in the fridge ~ Anja
Can I use Tallow to make serum ? Please advice Thank you.
I think by adding tallow it would make it a cream rather than serum
I’ve been making tallow balm. This last batch is really creamy. I used a 1/4 ratio with oil. I did 28 oz of tallow I rendered, an 7 oz of oil. I remelted an added for more 4 oz of tallow. Still more creamier then whipped like it usually turns out. Im currently remelting an adding more tallow to see if it firms up more. Any suggestions?
Since these are all natural ingredients there can be variations. I would say, yes, remelt and gradually add more tallow until you get your desired consistency ~ Anja
When does it go bad? Does it actually go bad?
Good question! I have had mine over one year and it's still good 🤷♀️ ~ Anja
I made this recipe and it’s lovely! Does it need to be refrigerated? Will it keep at room temperature?
Well done! If you are keeping your tallow balm in an airtight container in a dry and cool spot, it will last a long time, typically between 6 to 12 months.😊 ~ Anja
Lovely sharing. So look fwrd to try this tallow cream for my redness eczema on my face
Any way to still make the balm without using any oil(s)? I avoid them like the plague...
The tallow is pretty stiff without any oils but you can try to warm it up a bit and then use it on your skin ~ Anja
Can you use tallow and lard interchangeably? I have everything except the tallow to make this, but I do have lard. 😊
You can 👍
Hey I need to know what to buy as a starter kit? What kind of blender? Bowls ? Etc. I am not very crafty, but I am now motivated to make this.
You will find the Helpful Tools and Equipment I used here: ourgabledhome.com/how-to-make-tallow-balm-for-healthy-skin-step-by-step-guide/ 😊 ~ Anja
Do you need to store this is the refrigerator?
I do but I have had a small jar on my nightstand forever and it has never gone bad.
Hello can you use whipped tallow on it's own and how do you store after use fridge or cupboard ..
Yes, you could. I keep a small jar in my bedroom and the rest in the fridge ~ Anja
Does lard have all the vitamins as beef?? Loving your videos❤
I think so! Tallow has a lot of beneficial nutrients for the skin. You can read more here: ourgabledhome.com/how-to-make-tallow-balm-for-healthy-skin-step-by-step-guide/ 😊 ~ Anja
I made this and it has a bit of a beef smell, any recommendations?
You might try to render it again with lots of water.
Tallow spreads like a DREAM.
Nice!
Tallow balm mans gaot fat or beef fat mam.. plz tell me
Tallow is rendered beef fat.
Perfect! I can't wait to try it out
Nice! Happy making 😊 ~ Anja
Thank you❤❤
I watched the video on making talo but you said how to get it to solidify but not store. Could you please put in your next video. Thank you.
There’s more info right here: ourgabledhome.com/how-to-make-tallow-balm-for-healthy-skin-step-by-step-guide/ Hope this helps 😊 ~ Anja
Where can we buy beef suet to make this?
You can check out this video on How to Render Beef Tallow: th-cam.com/video/6QfV_XDF3do/w-d-xo.html
Can I put this cream on my face or just for body?
I put it on my face, too! It's so good for your skin!!
Can you keep this on the counter or does it need to be refrigerated?
I fill a small jar that I keep on my night stand and put the rest in the fridge just to be on the safe side ~ Anja
Thank you so much❤
How about adding a bit orange blossom water for the scent?
You can do that!
If you add water, you will need a preservative unless you intend to refrigerate and use it up within a few days!
Thank youuuuuu. Working with more tallow this year and into the future!
Wonderful!
I want to use it on my face really whole body
Yes, feel free to give it a try :)
Can I use ghee instead of tallow?
I haven’t personally tried it but see no reason why not ~ Anja
Hi, can I use coconut oil as the oil ingredient?
Yes, you can. Just make sure it's Fractioned coconut oil. It is another great choice as a base oil. It easily penetrates and moisturizes the skin. But since it only is a “fraction” of regular coconut oils, it remains liquid even at lower temperatures. 😊 ~ Anja
Ok thank you for that 👍
❤
My dry hands need this! I’ll have to get the ingredients and give it a try!
Oh, yes! I can't get enough of this and it really makes a difference 😊 ~ Anja
How long does it last? ☺️
It depends. Easily 6 months if you use high quality ingredients, use clean hands/tools to scoop it out, and keep it in a dry, cool place but possibly up to 12 months 😊 ~ Anja
@@OurGabledHome thank you!
Thankyou Anja! I am making this today, looking forward to tonight when I will apply it to my face before bed. ❤❤
Yay! It's so good! Every time I use it I am thinking 'no need for fancy commercial creams' ... 😌 ~ Anja
Oh Anja! I made this wonderful tallow, I added orchid essential oil to mine and it smells fantastic. Apparently orchid is beneficial for your skin as well. It is so creamy, I couldn’t wait till this evening to try it on my face and I love it! Another fabulous recipe from you. Girl you rock!
@@beverlyannelanoue5788 that's so awesome! Love how you didn't waste any time! And love that you love it (will have to check out orchid essential oil 👍)!!!
I need a natural skin tightener so badd

Does this tallow moisturizer have you walking around perpetually smelling like beef or with a feminine floral scent? I am trying to find a way to moisturize with beef tallow but not walk around smelling like food. I am also a man so I would like to avoid feminine scents as well.
My tallow balm has a very faint beef smell that dissipates quickly. But you can add more woodsy/masculine essential oils if you like (like pine, cedarwood, or eucalyptus)
Oh dear ... I tried this recipe tonight and it worked, it FELT and LOOKED lovely... but the smell was still way too meaty or animaly for me 😔😬 i used both lemon and lavender essential oils but I couldn't deal with the smell. Oh well, it was still fun to try!
I am so glad you made it! Did you use homemade or store-bought tallow?
@@OurGabledHome I used store bought, but I did wonder if it would have given a different odour if I'd rendered it myself, do you think so?
If rendered very gently, tallow and lard will have a mild to non-existent smell.
I work with beef cattle, we get the all fat back from our processed animals. Our tallow is yellow ( grass fed, grass finished beef will have yellower fat); no odor. I will try this. I process it,store in glass jars after double straining it. I freeze some too. The fat from around the kidneys is superior in my opinion, and it makes great French fries.
I also raise pastured pigs, but the lard does have an odor with the leaf lard being the mildest ( least piggy smell). There is very little leaf lard in a pig, it’s the fat from around the kidneys. It makes great biscuits and pie crusts. I would not use lard for skin care personally. Better for baking in my opinion.
We have been raising cattle, pigs, chickens and turkeys for over 38 years and using the fat from them in my cooking. My family has eaten these natural fats all along and none of us are overweight. I’m really glad to see people using natural fats again.
Was this grass fed beef. Big difference
