Born and raised in Arizona, so I am "tan" but, I have to try this for my soon to be daughter in-law who also born and raised in AZ but is red head with extremely light skin tone. I told her one day I was going to make her some sun block lotion! Thank you for sharing Ellen, many blessings!
If you put a little more beeswax in a sunscreen product it will make it waterproof if you are going swimming and will also will last longer if you are sweating outside. Thank you for all the SPF properties of different oils. Can't wait to play around with them.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I've wanted something safe for my littles. I'll be making this ASAP! I've been looking up different recipes on how to make this. One lady I seen, added a pink clay to help with the white cast which I thought was a neat idea. Again, you're always fabulous!
Everything is a controversy when it's on the internet. Thank you for the disclaimer. I spoke to my physician and she stated the same thing. She recommended some sun but not at midday for Vitamin D production .
You are awesome Ellen.i lrarn soooo much from you.noe all my skin care products are made by me thanks to you. God bless your generosity in sharing your formulations❤❤❤
Thanks again for a GREAT & IMFORMATIVE video. You did great job talking about not making SPF claims. I will try this and may send it with my husband next year when he flies to the Oshkosh fly-in. You are rhe best. I may use lard since I have a great person to get it from. Bless you! 😊❤
I will definitely make this for my babies. But also, I’ve commented before about how great your skin looks. Maybe one video or a series you could show us your products you use…with recipes 😊
Awesome! Fair hair and skin, along with red headed hubby and toddler. Commercial stuff just doesnt cut it. We basically have to use pure zinc oxide. I will be trying this out. Side note: Ellen, could you please show what your soap curing area looks like? Love your soap videos and starting it out myself, but wondering how much ventilation you need in your curing area.
Great suggestion. I use perforated baking sheets lined with parchment, on a wire rack for curing. As long as air can circulate around the bars, they're good.
@@EllenRuthSoapHi, Ellen! I've made this recipe twice now and I get a lot of beeswax chunks. What am I doing wrong? The first time I melted the wax in the microwave. It solidified almost immediately when I started mixing (I thought maybe I got the wax too hot). Second time I allowed the tallow, coconut oil, and liquid oils to come to room temp (75) while I melted the beeswax in a water bath on the stove. It took a little longer for chunking, but I still got pieces of beeswax. How did you get yours so creamy?
In Cuba we take the babies outside at 9:00 am to the sun. You will see all the mamas hinging there and getting sun themselves d the babies. We need sun for vit D mainly but not only. Everything is with moderation. Personally I walk everyday in the morning around 5:30 am since it’s to hot here in AZ and use sun block, sometimes just some of the oils that have good level of protection specially for my face along with my face tallow cream( don’t like sunscreen for my face, idk why. Anyhow Ellen, great video and wonderful recipe. I am going to try it just with other oils. You know I love tallow all the way.
Hi Ellen, nice video. I recently just purchased beef tallow from the Fat Lady and it’s fabulous. I have heard great things about this being a good moisturizer and other properties. Have you ever made a face cream with your beef tallow?
Very nice:) love tallow! I made a whipped slave with rose hip oil and use it on my face at night a few times a week:) Did you test this out in the sun? I’m curious 🧐 I’d be willing to make it for my grandbabies🥰
@@EllenRuthSoap A tip for you, the shrink wrap bands, I cut mine in half the long way. I found too often on my jars that there’s a lot of wasted shrink band so when you cut it in half the long way you end up with two bands versus just one!
Hi Ellen. I really like your videos. I have a question, would the percentage of lard be the same as the tallow? I've never used either, but it seems like lard is a little softer than tallow. Thanks.
I have a link for a good source of tallow in the description box 😉. For the butters as a replacement, I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like it ☀️
@EllenRuthSoap Thanks so much! I've had some non-nano zinc oxide for a while, your video is giving me the confidence to give it a try! Thx for the link!!💜
Hello Elen, I’m Esther cromo Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. If I want to do thise but Ihaven’t got tallos, WhatsApp can do I ha e Shea, cacao and mango BUTTER at home, can you gire me your sugerence pelease? Lot love❤❤❤
I think it’s more controversial that you used tallow/fat in a sunblock, people used to lather themselves in animal fats, tallow/lard and or vegetable oils to promote tanning cause the oil makes you burn and the tan you build is your bodies way of protecting itself by turning darker….. 🤔
I am lucky i am getting this in India. Will definitely try after dropping my kid off to college . Thank you for sharing
What a great product idea! I am not a fan of chemicals and this is a WONDERFUL idea for the grandbabies❣️ Thank you!
Thanks☀️

Awesome! I bought the zinc oxide a little while ago & was looking for a good recipe to make a sunblock with. And, here it is! Thank you, Ellen!
You are so welcome!☀️
I LOVE it! I have been looking for this forever. You are amazing 👍💖😘
Yay! Thank you!☀️

I'd love to hear how your version of the sunblock comes out💕☀️
@@EllenRuthSoap I will let you know
Just wonderful Ellen ❤❤❤❤
Thanks☀️
Hi Ellen, love your recipe however I would like to use an alternative to tallow, could I substitute it with shea butter perhaps? Thanks 💕
I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like the finished feel.
What a great video wish I had seen this before I went on a Mediterranean cruise 😊xx
Ooooo, Mediterranean cruise sounds NICE❣️
i really love this
Thanks ☀️
Hi Ellen, nice video. I recently just purchased beef tallow from the Fat Lady and it’s fabulous. I have heard great things about this being a good moisturizer and other properties. Have you ever made a face cream with your beef tallow?
Here's another tallow recipe, I do use on my face: ua-cam.com/video/-xevS8geEYc/v-deo.html
@@EllenRuthSoap you’re a doll!! Thank you so much.😊
Very excited about this 😊. I’m also thinking it maybe good for winter use under makeup?
Definitely!!☀️
Would love to see you make a face/body lotion using tallow 😊
Great idea!!☀️
Yes, a face cream with tallow
Good Morning, do you render your own beef fat into tallow? If so would you please do a video on your process? Thank you so much.
Yes I do, and that's a great suggestion for a video☀️
You have the most beautiful complexion.
What’s your beauty routine?
I just hit 30 and I need a good routine lol
Thank you🥰 I use my own soaps and lotions, as well as a good retinol and red light mask.
Very nice:) love tallow! I made a whipped slave with rose hip oil and use it on my face at night a few times a week:)
Did you test this out in the sun? I’m curious 🧐 I’d be willing to make it for my grandbabies🥰
Ooo, your night cream sounds amazing! Yes, I've used this out in the sun and it's fabulous. We reapply every hour or so.
@@EllenRuthSoap
Fantastic! I’m going to give this a try🥰 thank you for sharing 💝
@@EllenRuthSoap
A tip for you, the shrink wrap bands, I cut mine in half the long way. I found too often on my jars that there’s a lot of wasted shrink band so when you cut it in half the long way you end up with two bands versus just one!
@@sherrymartindale8582 great tip ❣️
Oh I think I'm going to try lemon grass and see if it will help with repelling those hungry bugs haha
That's actually a great idea ☀️
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you 😊
If you up the amount of tallow and coconut oil, would you decrease the other oils?
You could increase them and keep the rest, it would be a bit thicker finish.
Ellen if I wanted to use the carrot oil would I substitute it for one of the oils?
Yes, that would be part of or all of your liquid oil portion☀️
Hi Ellen. I really like your videos. I have a question, would the percentage of lard be the same as the tallow? I've never used either, but it seems like lard is a little softer than tallow. Thanks.
I would suggest starting with the same ratios, and if it's too soft you could add a bit more beeswax if needed.
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you very much. God bless you.
How is the sun protection factor in this sunscreen?
It has really good sunblock ingredients, I do talk about the spf subject the video☀️
I do not have beef tallow but being a deer hunter I do have deer tallow. Would that work as well?
Yes, I think deer tallow would be wonderful☀️
I'm not sure where to buy good tallow, do you think substituting a butter like, mango or shea, would work?
I have a link for a good source of tallow in the description box 😉. For the butters as a replacement, I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like it ☀️
@EllenRuthSoap Thanks so much! I've had some non-nano zinc oxide for a while, your video is giving me the confidence to give it a try! Thx for the link!!💜
Wonder if you could use lard in place of tallow? I am not against tallow....I just don't have any on hand!
Yes, if you have a good source of lard, it would work well.
Would love to purchase this from you
Thank you, I don't sell products any longer.
Why not nano zinc? Edit: Nevermind! You answered it.
Can ee use
ee?
@@EllenRuthSoapI mean canwe use stearic acid/cetyl alcohol inplace of tallow? Thanks ❤
Are you selling this?
No, I don’t sell any longer
Hello Elen, I’m Esther cromo Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain. If I want to do thise but Ihaven’t got tallos, WhatsApp can do I ha e Shea, cacao and mango BUTTER at home, can you gire me your sugerence pelease? Lot love❤❤❤
You could replace the tallow with some softer butters👍
Why doesn't this need a preserervative?
Because it doesn't have a water phase☀️
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you.
Why is it not for vegans 🌱 respectfully….❤
Because it has tallow in it☀️
Can we replace tallow with stearic acid/cetyl alcohol
@@sulbhaghatge2793 I haven’t tried that, I suggest a small test batch and see how you like it ☀️
