Homemade Tallow Balm - SO EASY!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- I started making this balm for my son when he developed mild eczema around 2 months old. I couldn’t get rid of it with lotion or plain essential oils. I wanted to treat it as naturally as possible and then I heard about tallow (or beef fat). All of the tallow creams of balms online were upwards of $40-$50 for a tiny jar! So I decided to make my own and he hasn’t had a flare up since! #sweetbeulahfarm
Recipe:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup jojoba oil
1/2 cup tallow
20 drops lavender
10 drops frankincense
10 drops chamomile
Sometimes I switch up the other two fats with shea butter, coconut oil, cocoa butter, etc but always keep the ratios to tallow the same. I also sometimes will add in about 1/4 cup of honey. Melt down all the fats, let it cool (preferably at room temp BEFORE putting in the fridge). Let it come to a butter like consistency and then whip with any mixer you have until it is light and and airy. Add essential oils if you choose!

Overall- this is just a quick easy DIY for a really great product for your skin (eczema or not- I use as a moisturizer) that beats paying the price for the online ones. It’s not the only way to treat eczema if that’s what you’re trying to use it for. Do your own research. Look at all of the variables as there are MANY MANY reasons why you might have skin issues. This is what we’ve had success with. My son’s eczema was incredibly MILD so I’m NOT saying that you SHOULD treat with this. It’s just a cheaper, cleaner, fresher, dupe! Thanks for all of the insight!
@sweetbeulahfarms Thank you for sharing your recipe! Please keep in mind that placing hot items in your refrigerator can damage the cooling ability of the refrigerator and require expensive repairs.
You can actually whip the solid tallow with the oils straight. Melting them together & putting in the fridge are unnecessary steps. Make sure your jars & spoons are properly disinfected.
@@AB4Jss yes you can! I just like to melt it all down because I feel it incorporates better as one solid vs solids and liquids. I also change up the fats I use - sometimes shea butter or cocoa butter and those are harder fats that you wouldn’t have as much success with in just whipping it. So this is just the method that I use with any of the different fats
@@patsycloninger2216yes thank you! I’ve clarified that in the description. Normally I keep it on the counter before the fridge but for this video I was trying to get it all done during my kiddos nap times! But yes- I do recommend that as well! Thank you
Thank you for posting this recipe. I’m a 58-year-old man and have struggled with eczema my entire life. I made a batch of this last week and my skin showed improvement within 48 hours. As of right now this has been life-changing. You are doing God‘s work!
Love this! Thank you!
have had eczema my whole life, tallow is great, but getting sugar and bad carbs out of my diet cured it for good.
My son is 35 years old with full-body eczema and now that he's finally eating veggies (mainly raw) the eczema is finally going away. He's so excited.
also check what you are doing laundry with. any detergents that are scented, or scented dryer sheets, etc can cause this, or something hes eating.
Eczema can be the resulta of low Vit D and most people can be vit D deficient because we do not take the sun (in a safe way) so some people just take Vit D3 supplements.
I made the most amazing diaper cream using tallow. After the first application, I could see an improvement. We battled this rash for MONTHS with creams that didn't help. So when I made the tallow cream and it worked, I cried. Hahahahaha!!
I love that! We haven’t really had many rashes this go around but if it happens, I need to try it
I suffer greatly from heat rash under my breasts. Would you share your recipe with me please. I have tried everything and nothing works.
@@Mickey-jn8hz try the balm for any and all skin issues. I think it would be helpful as well as adding in lavender essential oil or chamomile as it is calming and healing for the skin. I mentioned to somebody else that I have been using it actually for my scalp every few weeks as I’ve had some dryness and it has helped tremendously. Also maybe look into the clothing materials / laundry soap that you are wearing that could be adding to any irritation.
@@Mickey-jn8hz Try scotched all purpose flour.
Dry flour in a dry pan. Keep stirring the flour until it turns the color of Milk Chocolate but not as dark a Co-Co.
Let it cool in a paper bag. Use at night before bed. Wear old t shirt to bed. Protect sheets. Mostly used to cure diaper rash. Better than any store bought cream.
@@Mickey-jn8hzorganic castor oil works very well in this area
It's not about "curing" it as much as removing what is causing the skin to react that way. Your skin is another way your body will remove toxins and other impurities.
My son's skin was reacting to store-bought body soaps, baby lotions, and laundry detergents. Once I started making my own, his skin stopped reacting. He hasn't had it flare up since I started.
Amazing! We have continued to have success with it and very much enjoy it for a lot of different uses now for each person in our family. I’ve actually started putting it on my scalp every few weeks to help with dryness as well
How do you make your detergent could you give me your recipe thank you 😊
I was using other oils and such in my tallow balm, but now I just use nothing but tallow. Tallow has been such a skin saver.
What it’s really Tallow and what is it made of?
@@lydiaperera9422. Beef fat.
@@lydiaperera9422 Beef fat (I think fat specifically close to and around the kidneys).
Vitamin E adds antioxidant by helping neutralize free radicals. Vitamin C, also chemical name known as ascorbic acid natural acts as a preservative.
eczema is something internal. The skin shows us. Its difficult to find out what is CAUSING it. Microbiome issues are usually off.
For sure! The microbiome is almost always the reason for skin issues. I read that people saw great results by going Vegan or Carnivore! These are total opposite ways of eating, yet for some, they work one way and for some, the other!
For everyone in the comments, please keep in mind - eczema is a symptom, but it can have many causes. For some it may be dairy, other gluten, others excess sugar, other gut microbiome imbalance. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to eczema, what works for some may not work for others!
Here is tip: do not melt it down. Just whip everything together in the mixer. It will make product light and fluffy.
You can totally do that I just do it as sometimes I add shea butter or sometimes cocoa butter and those are harder consistencies so it’s easier to melt it all together. With the recipe I give here you can make that work for sure
@@sweetbeulahfarm
I agree. It definitely depends on the product that you are trying to produce.

@sweetbeulahfarm, I just made a batch and followed the recipe as posted. I melted it all down, let it set in the fridge overnight to set. Today, I tried to whip it like whipping cream but it just got creamy instead, more like a creamy liquid. Not sure what I did different. I did mix it in a glass bowl instead of stainless steel. Would that have made the difference?
@@terrik3465 sorry that happened! I think you absolutely can still use it so you don’t waste the product. Not sure why that would happen. I haven’t had that issue unless maybe the ratios were accidentally off?
@terrik3465 Ithink you let it set too long. You don't want it to fully harden, just set enough that it's no longer liquidy. I'd recommend trying again and only refrigerating for a couple hours. Best of luck!
Organic castor oil is so good for your eye lashes hair and skin. I bought some for 15.00 and I love it. No mixing all in one bottle. I love this on my face.
That’s what I use now and it’s so amazing no more eczema and it’s reducing my wrinkles and I just started 2 weeks ago. I’m so in love with castor oil.❤
Does yours come in a glass bottle?
@@elainec5333 mine comes in a brown glass bottle . It’s name brand is (heritage store) I get it from the health food store , but found it on amazon too.
@@hopemoody4854I found caster oil last week, and I can agree with you, it’s the best! And is healing my rash around my eyes.
Shalom
Which brand did you buy?
Peace be upon you. I took my kids who had eczema to my home country close to India which is Pakistan. The eczema went away. Then took my nephew who had it too and just one month of stay there made it go away.
After a few years when the kids went to public pools it flared up again a little bit like you can say only on the inner sides of the elbows in my ten year old daughter, it came back also with my nephew who loves swimming it came back hand hit him hard.
Now one of my other nephew who has never gone there and is twenty three years old has it really bad to this day all over his body.
I suggest go to warmer place for an extended period like a month and avoid pools where microbial infections are more likely to attack those that are at risk with skin issues like eczema. May GOD heal us and our children from these GOD willing.
Wow amazing story! Love hearing your experience!
My daughter’s went away when we went to pk
Look into herb tea, tincture, and capsules. There are a lot of herbs that help with eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis. In the process of researching dosage. Have learned to make capsules, and tinctures. Use tincture to make a skin wash. And drink herbal teas. Seems to be working so far. Now thanks to your video will be able to make the balm as well. The other helps internally and as a wash followed up with your balm seems like a win,👍 worth a try
thanks so much love the info!
Wow! This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Of course! 😊
I had a problem with itchy skin of my toddlers. Was told that it was eczema. I was using pharmacy lotion - useless. Started almond oil with few drops of tea tree oil. Helped, always for few days. But I came across a naturopath and was told that my kids have parasites and should try to sort that out first. Yes, That was the cause!
Nowadays not many doctors knows that.
Anyway, any illness starts from guts especially allergies and too many toxins.
But I will try your tip as well. Thank you from Poland
Thanks for the insight! I appreciate you telling your experience! I’m glad y’all figured out the issue and were able to clear it all up.
There are so many variables (gut health, stress, diet, chemicals, etc) when it comes to this stuff and I think we just have to figure out what works for our own bodies and so on.
@@sweetbeulahfarm Absolutely, you are right.
💞
from what? pets?
@@Lauren-vd4qe we don't have, but as we know toddlers touching everything and after their hands.

Know you can overcome ANY health issue. Keep up the good work!❤
I had Excema bad as a kid. Some things really irritate it. Good soap is great for it. But it's a vitamin a deficiency. As soon as my mom started giving me vit A, it went away. Or feed your kids lots of cantaloupe, salmon, dried apricot, spinach, kale, sweet potatoes. There's lots of foods high in vit A
Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin A in the form of Retinol which is the most bio available form of vitamin A. Your body has to work very hard to convert beta carotene into retinol.
I put zinc and vitamin E
It is caused be stress. I know, I have it. When I was highly stressed and my legs were a mess. Remove the stress, it goes away. Plus I used Watkins red clover salve.
I remember I was watching somo Health Guru from India, but can not remember his name but I will never forget when he said that for Eczema Butter as in (real butter) is the best.
I do not have eczema but I remember I had Itch on my Neck and on the internet I found about butter. I put that on my neck several nights and the itch went away.
ghee works best
Thank you for the video 🙏🏼
This inspires me to do the same thank you.
Best to Cut the processed foods out of your kids diet if there is any, plus any bad soaps etc , a 2 year old should not be having eczema. Actually no one should. Also, emotional issues can be a cause as well. I am not wanting to be a rude person, just noting this, we all know life is complicated. Most grains are not helpful in diet. Low nutrition anyway. And many seed oils are not good.
But yes tallow is great for skin.
I appreciate this comment a lot and your other one as well about raw milk. There are A LOT of variables for sure. There is something to be said about nutrition but also something to be said about good tasting food and finding a balance between the two. We are not machines we are humans and God created good things for us to enjoy though we need to be mindful and have discernment on how we enjoy good (or not as “healthy”) foods. It’s all risk and reward and what we choose for our lives. I’d like to make a video on our food philosophy to address this type of thing! There’s no one right answer. Thanks for your comments and insight!
Thanks. This turned out great!👍 😊
Thanks for the video! I'm excited to give this a try.😊
Dairy products can irritate the skin, removing dairy from the diet can do wonders. Always start with diet.
NO
Always start with diet
Dairy is my best friend
Dairy is great and extremely healthy.
So not everyone can have dairy. But jf you can, enjoy!
Thank you for sharing, I am going to try this!
Let me know how it goes for you!
Taking Vit A supplements twice a day improved my eczema quickly.
What strength of Vit A did you take? Thx!

Thanks for sharing!! Your kitchen is SO similar to my new kitchen. However, I love your backsplash sooo much better than mine. Is it real bricks, or those stick tiles, or what?
Thank you so much! We redid the kitchen a few years ago and are actually about to sell. These are brick veneer. They sell single bricks or panels. They’re about 1/3 of an inch thick. We still had to mortar and grout them.
Wow! Good job, I definitely need to try this! Thank you!
I'm glad this worked for you. I've been watching lots of vids like this to learn how to do this. Starting a whole new way of life, healthy!! No shade but you lost me at the store bought tallow. I may look to see what other vids you have, but I'm on a less cheating, less "convenient" path.
We don’t have great access to any fresh tallow that has just been butchered in our area but will be doing that soon as we move to a more rural place. I totally understand! We are just working with what we can get our hands on now. I know the actual video for blurry then. But the brand we are using now is Fat Works from Amazon. If you’re able to render your own from butchering, that’s amazing!
Thank you
Giving up grains cures eczema for some people.
Thanks for that info!
Exactly preventative care is what doctors miss + it feels a lot like an índustry after awhile...
I had dry bumpy skin on my upper arms in my teens. A nurse recommended Lanolin. It cleared up my arms. It came in a tube.
Do you need to store it in the fridge or not? I have chronic hives and wondering if this is a good solution. Thanks for your time in responding. 🙏
Nope we just leave it on our counters in our bathrooms and nursery! I actually had it in my car once when it was really cold and it kind of changed the consistency and I didn’t like it as much. Didn’t feel whipped and smooth. More like a body butter that you have to really warm up on your hands before application
Can you please put your recipe where you have your links for us to make? Thank you so much.
I have links for jojoba oil and tallow in the description besides that
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup jojoba oil
1/2 cup tallow
20 drops lavender
10 drops frankincense
10 drops chamomile
Thanks!
Pure Goat Milk has completely helped my eczema and psoriasis
So many experts in the comments 🥴
I'm atopic myself. You should check carnivore diet for your baby. Eczema comes from inside. Doesn't matter if you can relieve the itching externally, it will come up again and again until the baby is cured internally. I know this because I've been battling since I was born until 30 yo. No PUFAs, no carbs (at least for a while), no perfum or shampoo, no teflon or any other toxic material as cookware, no internal devices like silicone, copper or even dental amalgams or titanium if you are an adult. Good luck ❤
It is possible to cure eczema and it can take up to 6 months to recover healthy skin.. a nutritionist would take a different way to accomplish that... well done 🎉
This is great thx!
You don't add vitamin e ? Vitamin E will help the shelf life of the balm and also keep the tallow from going rancid I've heard.
Hi Barbara! Jojoba oil has vitamin E inside as well as B! Not sure if the amount inside is as high as what you have heard of to help. Maybe also storing in smaller containers and making smaller batches would help. We go through ours pretty quickly (a month or two) and I haven’t noticed anything. I assume storing in an air tight glass container helps too.
A lot of people have cured it with the lion diet or carnibore diet. Look onto it.
you'd better let it cool at room temperature before putting in the fridge. putting hot stuff in the fridge is bad for your fridge and all that is inside
Yes, thanks for that clarification! I do let it sit on the counter for a little bit before putting in the fridge, typically. For the video, I sped up the process!
Thank you! Good tips!
Just an fyi...don't put hot pots or dishes into the fridge because it will break your thermostat.😟
Yes, thanks! I usually will let it sit at room temp and then put in the fridge when I do this but for the video I was trying to make and finish all before my kids naps were over! So I risked it! 😅
Aloe, tea tree...and the final ingredient would require a deposit because the ingredient needs to be protected by environmental groups before becoming even more popular. Yes its internal but the external is where the irritation occurs. If you can get the external environment under control (which you can with eczema), would you even notice you had it...would you even care? Its soothes babys so much when you can at least control the irritation. Doesnt work for all cases, depends on the cause of eczema.
Do you know of this helping adults with eczema? As a child I had it & now in old age, at 71, I have it again in the places on my scalp where your little boy has it. My hair is very thick so the heat from nape of neck upwards makes it even worse. It drives me crazy! Mxxx
I think it’s a healthy skin care product EVEN if it doesn’t help get rid of your symptoms. It’s still very good for your skin overall as a moisturizer.
Good stuff. Thanks. If you have a child please turn the pot handle away from little hands
My daughter suffers from echtyosis,found bioderma good for her skin but her scalp is still dry and causes irritation and mood swings.any advice?
I actually this past few months have had horrible dry scalp. I think extreme stress and hormones with nursing and such. But I actually did put this tallow all throughout my scalp, took a wide tooth comb and really massaged my scalp, let it sit for 3 hours or so, and then washed it all out. I had very minimal dryness after when normally it is bad even right after the shower. I’ve also found just adding rosemary oil to jojoba oil with the same process works well too. You can search through this thread and see and I also believe that a lot of these issues can be solved with food and diet. It just depends what you want to do for your family and such. What you think is worth doing. There’s info on here from others as well as just researching different anti inflammatory diets. But you can for sure HELP the symptoms with tallow and oils in my experience.
@@sweetbeulahfarm Thank you
My eczema and most of my family eczema is caused by oatmeal
could the eczema be from an allergy from maybe gluten? my daughter has developed 2 areas and she's 20..
when you add honey, is it sticky?
It has a somewhat stickier texture but once it’s on the skin for a few minutes, it absorbs pretty well. Also melting the honey with oils at the same time helps
Can you use this on the face?
I use it on my face every night as it is a little bit of a thicker consistency. I have seen great results! You don’t need much. It goes a long way.
you said that the last time you made this you added 1/2 cup of honey?!?!! Doesn't that make it sticky? Especially so much honey?
I didn’t find it to be too sticky once it was on the skin for a few minutes. I think it helps to melt it down with the oils vs putting the honey in later in the steps
Be careful with lavender it is a hormone accelerator. Research before putting lavender please
Hi, I responded to this in somebody else’s comment about studies and such on lavender EO. I appreciate your comment and really suggest to anybody to do their own research and decide for themselves what they should be doing with any product.
Does it need some sort of preservative to stop .it goimg mouldy?
Never had a problem with it and I store in a mason jar at room temp
Have you tried using coconut oil instead of tallow?
I have actually put coconut oil in with it as a different fat and it has been nice too! I like to switch up the other fats and it’s been great.
Does it still smell like beef? I have the same tallow and wanted to try it on my daughters skin but it smells like roast
This product ends up smelling slightly beefy but honestly I’ve gotten used to it. I don’t think it makes you smell personally. The essential oils also help if you were to add those
Remove wheat from his diet. That eliminates this condition
❤
Does eczema itch?
It’s bad for the frigo to put warm stuff inside
It woukd have neen great for the Amazon links
I just put them into the description of the video! Thanks!
You didn’t say how to store it, seeing you have no preservatives. There are preservatives on the market that are skin safe, I’m assuming you must refrigerate this.
We haven’t had any problems keeping this at room temp. We go through it pretty quickly though. Also keeping in an air tight glass jar is helpful, as well as storing out of sunlight.
You could keep in refrigerator but I’ve found that as it gets colder (in my car as I’ve traveled) the consistency really changes
Great.i eliminated the essential oils
What is really Tallow, what is it made of?
Tallow is rendered animal fat.... usually beef.
How does it smell?
This is so funny everybody always asks! There’s a slight beefy smell to it but honestly I have gotten used to it and adding essential oils helps! But I really don’t notice it anymore!
You're adorable!! Thank you. By the way anything can be cured!! Especially skin issues. Anyone telling you otherwise either has dark intentions, or is a complete moron. Cheers 😊
Exema is a poor gut issue. Clean up his diet, give him probiotics
