    So nice to see tallow getting some love. I made a whipped tallow balm and used a cottonwood bud infused olive oil as my liquid. Scented with a couple drops each of black spruce, black pepper, palo santo and frankinscense essential oils
    . Love it so much.

    I made my first batch of this tallow balm with this recipe. I researched different oils and came to fenugreek oil which it said had good skin properties. When it came time to make it I noticed a strong celery smell came with that oil. The peppermint and rosemary essential didn’t take it away so the first batch is celery scented. I made a second batch using olive oil instead of the fenugreek and I could smell the essential oils in that one but it didn’t whip up as nice. I gave them to my girlfriend’s and my families for Christmas. They liked the one I used olive oil in but seemed to prefer the celery scented one. Lol

    Thank you for another great video. I don't have access to beef tallow, but I do have access to ovine tallow instead, it's also rich and moisturizing, it takes time to clean and deodorize to be ready for soaping, but the result is worth the hard work... I blend it with herbal infused oils, it makes really good bars. I need to try it in a balm recipe too, I hope it turns as good as your balm❤️❤️ I will even try a whipped version.

I recently have become obsessed with making different tallow butter recipes, and am still tinkering around with different oils. I’d love the butter to be more stiff and less melty - I made one batch with cocoa butter, and I loved it. What else might make the balm / butter more solid? Thanks so very much!!! Hugs to you.

    Ellen thank you so much for the wonderful videos. I put mine in the freezer but took it out too soon I think so I whipped it a little then put it back in the freezer. It was very firm when I took it out the second time. I whipped it and it was very firm still. As I piped it into the container I noticed it wasn't fluffy at all just firm and very gritty. How can I make it creamier or fluffier? Thank you so much.

      It depends on how smooth and how firm the tallow is. If it's really hard, you may need to warm it a bit to whip it. And if it's grainy, melting it and cooling will keep it smooth.

    • @EllenRuthSoap

      Pig lard is a bit softer than beef tallow, so it would be a different consistencey.. Since this doesn't have a water phase, you don't need a preservative. Properly rendered tallow doesn't mold.

    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I tried it today but need your help as it came out gritty. Is this normal? Did I not melt the beef tallow long enough? How long do u melt it for before adding liquid oil & essential oil drops? Thanks I really appreciate your time & reply. :D

    • @EllenRuthSoap
      @EllenRuthSoap  11 місяців тому +2

      Yes, I would suspect the tallow.. It's important to melt it fully and cool it slowly, stiring or whipping as it cools.

    Hi Ellen, I want to make tallow balms using tallow and emu oil. I would like to add lanolin too. What would the grams be for each of these ingredients please? Would I use 114g tallow, 20g emu oil and 10g lanolin? TIA Love your channel

      I might go a bit lower on the emu oil?? I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like it.

      You could try chilling it until it’s very firm, then whip, it should get fluffy.

      It could be from either an uneven melt, or cooling. You can remelt and try a quick cool in the fridge.
