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.
My twenty year old daughter and I (I’m 54) just started using tallow balm on our face, and we love it! It’s so moisturizing and we can both see a difference on our skin. Thank you for the recipe.
I love , love tallow creams and yes they are very similar to our skin and therefore easy to absorb without clogging pores. Ellen make a lip balm, you will love it. Mine has orange and lavender eo in it!
That's what I was thinking a lip balm because of how moisturizing it looks! Is the recipe the same and maybe just use it as the salve instead of whipping it then?
I just made a body butter with tallow, lard, camel fat, cocoa butter, salmon oil and avocado oil. I put cocoa powder and real chocolate in it❤ It smells so good and I didn’t even put any fragrance in it. I love these tallow videos from you! No wonder your skin is so beautiful 🦋
I adore tallow balm! I'm too impatient to do the freezer gig. So after double boiling (melting tallow), I add my liquid oils, EO/FO if using, and start ice bath whipping. Stop before you think you need to. It's luxurious!
@@Carriedawaybath A tiny flower known as the blue tansy (Tanacetum annuum) has received a lot of positive press in recent years. As a result, it’s become a popular ingredient in a wide variety of products, ranging from acne creams to anti-aging solutions. Blue tansy has also become a well-known essential oil.
I made this couple days ago and just now tried it. WOW! I added some zinc oxide to mine but I am so in love with how this makes my skin feel. I gave some to my neice for her baby (that is why I added the zinc). She is going to love this.
Thank you Ellen, these look absolutely gorgeous. Such a good idea making the balm if you have no electricity. I used to live in an area where we had lots of power cuts. It’s actually not a bad thing as it reduces static levels. 😃
Thank you so much for sharing your tallow balm/ salve/butter recipe and methods!!! 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. I love your videos and always smile when you laugh - you have an amazing laugh!!
A little bit before you got your beef tallow, I rendered my own beef tallow and made my first successful 100% oatmeal beef tallow soap (rendering is a technique I was struggling with), still waiting to try it out. This was the next product I wanted to try so I really appreciate you making this video and sharing this method, will definitely try this now. Thank you.
I don't know what a solve is but i do know what a saa-lve (salve) is. I looked up the pronunciation and the a is long so saa-lve but spelled salve. It doesn't have an sol sound.
I love that your showcasing this! I have had tallow balms in my line since I started and it is one of my best sellers! The benefits of tallow on the skin are amazing!
I love tallow, I made this tallow balm and whipped it, I put a light scent in mine , but my dog still smelled the tallow and he wanted to lick my hand because he thought it was beef lol, but they have super smelling, but I didn't smell any tallow, so you really need to put some kind of scent in it or you might attract unwanted dogs lol!! But otherwise tallow is the best moisturizer to me! Thanks Ellen for the nice video and your so informative 😊.
I have not tried it in hair? But I think it would make a deep conditioning hair mask. I do use this on my face, but if I was going to use it on hair, I might leave out the arrowroot..
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.
Thanks for this! I have been using just tallow mixed with essential oils & I see a BIG difference in my skin. But, a fluffy cream is SO much nicer. I will make this tomorrow. 😊
I made whipped tallow balm with olive oil. It's was beautifully whipped and soft but after I decanted it, it ended up becoming more solid again. Soft enough to scoop with my finger but not whipped anymore.
TY for another great video Ellen. Can pig tallow be used as well as the beef tallow? Also, do you have to worry about any molding at all since there is no preservative?
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.
I just made this! I used part jojoba oil that I infused with calendula flowers and rosehip oil. I added lavender adn vanilla EO, looking forward to trying this on my face. i live in Washington and two of my daughters live in Oklahoma, I recently shipped lotion bars to them that did not melt, I am going to keep it as a salve because it it does melt they can just put it in the fridge and the texture would not change like the whipped one will.
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. Thank you, Ellen, your videos are awesome!🙏🙏 Blessings
Thank you so much, really appreciate it. I currently am using a 30ml container and a 120ml both aluminium, do you know where I can get those seal lids for it? Not the actual lid but the nice flip top thank you :)
Exactly the video I have been looking for!!! Love this whipped recipe it looks like marshmallow fluff and the best for your skin!❤ Love from Texas✨just subscribed!
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 😊
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.
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
do you have any book recommendation of soap and personal care making products? ,lust found your channel have subscribed . really enjoy your content. Thanks
Hello! Would Coconut oil be considered as a liquid oil even though it solidifies in the cool weather? So we should add it with the 4oz or the 1oz part?
Thank you for sharing ! I have a questions about how to store the product. If you keep it in the fridge it's too hard , if I keep it out of the fridge is it's too liquid and may be not safe for a long time
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
So this tallow you bought won’t smell like beef? I bought tallow from a farm and tried to make a whipped cream added jojoba and frankincense oil and it still smells beefy. I might have to render it down before I make a cream next time 🤷🏼♀️. Help!!
I just finished watching your magnesium lotion recipe, loved it! If I wanted to use this tallow whipped lotion as the base for magnesium oil would that work? Would I use the same ratios? Thanks so much!!! Love watching you always!
Oh ya, that's a bummer... I use a touch of dishwashing liquid on any grease or oil stain, then launder as usual and it typically comes out. Maybe get a special pillow case??
I have lots of tallow from cooking so I can try this. 🙂 Sometimes I use it straight if I'm staying home. PS: the L is silent in salve; it rhymes with "have".
Do you have trouble aligning your labels when printing off your printer it’s been like the hardest thing for me less than a third of the labels are perfect and the others are just off-line. It’s so crazy frustrating even going through the realignment margin setting set off all the good ones.😢😮

Is there a specific tallow you recommend or prefer for this for your face?
I like to use home rendered or a grass fed brand like this: amzn.to/3TKET6F
Thanks for this video! Love tallow products!

Can it be used in hair? Also, is it safe for face and hair if arrowroot powder is used?

Has anyone had any problem with using beef tallow on face and it causing sinus issues? Thank you
I've not heard of that in any feedback yet??
Do I need to heat up and melt the tallow or can I just mix all the ingrediencies together
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.
Hi..Can I use Jojoba oil instead of Rosehip? thanks
Yes👍
Have you ever added aloe for more benefits? Maybe instead of the oil or in addition?
I have not added aloe to this formula, with a liquid addition you'd need a preservative..
Thank you
Love the whipped balm. I never thought of that what a good idea!

Citrus isn't good in the Sunshine. Can cause skin issues and is not recommended for the face.
What does arrowroot do?? Love tallow🥰
The arrowroot gives it a lighter feel, it takes a bit of the "greasy feel or buttery feel" away.

I want to make this. How long does it last? Does it have to be kept in the fridge?
I suggest using within a year of making, and you don't need to keep it in the fridge unless you live in a super hot area without AC.
Can I just double and triple your recipe to make more?
Yes you can!👍
Excellent ❤❤🤩✌✌
Loved this! Thank you so much for always being transparent with your recipes ❤

Which oil would you use for rosacea and would you put in a fragrant essential oil? Like orange?
Not sure off hand, I suggest doing some google research on that.
I am going to try grapefruit essential oil with it. I will let you know how that works. Also ordered Tea Tree Oil to try too.
Hi Ellen, what is the reason for adding oils to the recipe please?
It gives a smoother finish.
Have you ever added methylene blue to your tallow balms?
No, but it sounds interesting
Great video
Thanks so much for this video. Is it ok to use a tin container instead of glass?
Yes 👍
Hey Ellen, i try to do the whipped version but for some reason my tallow wont get fluffy at all, any ideas what am i doing wrong? Great video btw!
You could try chilling it until it’s very firm, then whip, it should get fluffy.
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you so much Ellen, will try 😊
can i use cold press extra virgin coconut oil instead?
I've not tried that. I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like the finish.
Ellen Since the video have you used it regularly on your face? If so, how do you like it?
Yes, I used this all winter and have really liked it. It helps with my dry skin from the retinol I use..
@@EllenRuthSoap
That’s fantastic to know! I think I’ll make myself a little tub of it. I use retinol as well, and my face does get pretty dry.

A touch of cornstarch and or kaolin clay as well as lavender essential oil, would make a great diaper cream.

Hi Ellen, will you sale the balm in your shop?
No, I'm not selling this in the shop.
Ok thanks
Could I add honey to this? How would I do that?
Yes, you can add a bit of honey at the cool down phase and whip it in. I wouldn't add too much or it will leave a sticky feel.
I have lots of tallow from cooking so I can try this. 🙂 Sometimes I use it straight if I'm staying home.
PS: the L is silent in salve; it rhymes with "have".
Many people pronounce it “sov” “sahv” the way you say it sounds like maybe from the south or something😊
