    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 this tallow balm with, camelia oil, rosehip oil, lemon and frankinsense essential oils, absolutely great 👍
    I gave some to a friend who had really dry sore skin on his leg, and it's cleared it up within a few days of use.
    I tried to whip some, but I think I need more practice, so I'm just sticking to the balm for now 😂
    Thanks once again, my skin loves it too, next it's the beard balm.
    Have a wonderful Christmas with your family, and God bless you ❤

    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

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.

      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.

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

    A little advise please. I bought the tallow you show in your video. Why might my product be come runny after whipping? Doesn’t take much time to whip. I’ve used other brands of tallow and never had a problem. Is there something I might be missing? Any tips are greatly appreciated, I do not want to waste the tallow. Thank you 😊

    • @EllenRuthSoap
      @EllenRuthSoap  9 місяців тому +1

      I did notice that too with this brand of tallow, it’s much softer than home rendered tallow…. You could add a touch of Stearic acid as a thickener for whipping. Or put it in the fridge, it whips better when it’s very cold.
