    Tallow Beauty Balm

    Ingredients

    1 1/2 cup (10-12 ounces) grass-fed tallow


    1 cup dried herb blend (Use equal parts of rose petals, calendula flowers, horsetail,
    lavender flowers, marshmallow root, and irish moss as available to you.), for best results
    grind with a mortar and pestle
    3 tablespoons (1.5 ounces) rosehip seed oil, olive oil, coconut oil, or jojoba oil
    1 ounce (approx. 2 tablespoons) raw beeswax
    1 teaspoon essential oils blend bulgarian rose otto, bulgarian lavender, myrrh, and
    carrotseed
    Method

    Using the hot oil extraction method, begin by combining the dried herbs and tallow in a
    quart-sized glass Mason jar.
    Place the glass jar in a pot on the stove, or in a crock pot, that is filled with a few inches
    of water and set on the lowest setting. Note: Be sure to put a towel on the bottom of the
    pot and do not allow the temperature of the oil to rise above 110 degrees farenheit. A
    temperature between 95-110 is perfect.
    Infuse the oil and herbs for 4-8 hours, a day, or up to 3 days is best. Note: Watch the pot
    and add water as it evaporates.
    Alternatively, according to Rosemary Gladstar in her book Herbal Recipes for Vibrant
    Health, you may also do it this way; “Place the herbs and the oil in a double boiler and
    bring to a low simmer. Slowly heat for 30 to 60 minutes, checking frequently to be sure
    the oil is not overheating.”
    After the infusion period, the oil must be strained through a cheesecloth or fine mesh
    strainer and the herbs discarded…reserving the herb-infused tallow.
    In a small pot or double boiler, melt the herb-infused tallow and beeswax over very low
    heat.
    Remove from heat and cool slightly.
    Add the essential oils and rosehip seed oil, olive oil, coconut oil, or jojoba oil.
    Stir well to combine.
    Pour into labeled tins or glass jar for storage.
