Hello friends, Why did I start making beef tallow lotion at home? Well to be completely honest, I could not afford the brand that I wanted to buy. At $40 a small jar it was way out of my budget so I started researching and found that it was a relatively easy process to make it.
Rendering beef tallow
Why would I render my own beef tallow?
Can I tell you a secret?
Homemade Beef tallow lotion is not expensive to make, and the process is so easy. Since learning how to render tallow I have dived into what the benefits different oils have for our skin. I have found that Castor oil is the power house of oils! It has fatty acids like Ricinoleic that moisturize and hydrate the skin. When combined with Tallow it helps the skin draw those vitamins A, D, E, and K into the body.
Health benefits of beef tallow
Beef tallow is a natural source of these fat soluble vitamins which are essential for collagen production. Tallow and Castor oil have anti-inflammatory properties as well.
Tallow’s chemical makeup is similar to our skin’s DNA, which makes it’s nutrients bioavailable to us.
These two oils are a power house for our skin from wrinkles to acne they help our skin stay clear and firm.
I have learned a lot and have loved teaching others the why and the how of making their own healthy body care products. I do understand that it is something that not everyone has the time to do so I started making extra to share with friends which has led to this little shop.
Tallow is also comparable to the skins natural oils allowing our skin to absorb its nutrients easier. It also helps create a protective layer that helps lock in moisture.
