DIY Whipped Tallow Body Cream


I hope we like this!  We have TONS of suet in the freezer (only some of which we've rendered into tallow) and I've read so many positive things about applying tallow to the skin (here and here).

So...here goes nothing :)

Whipped Tallow Body Cream

1 cup Tallow
1 cup Shea Butter
25 drops Lavender Essential Oil

1. Add Tallow and Shea Butter to a double boiler, and slowly simmer until melted.
2. Place in the refrigerator to cool.
3. Once cooled, whip it up.
4. Add the essential oils.
