• If tallow is freshly made, use it in its liquid form. Otherwise, slowly heat the tallow in a saucepan on low until it reaches its liquid form. Remove from heat.
• In a medium sized bowl (I like to use stainless steel) add olive oil (or coconut or avocado) to the tallow and stir to combine.
• Add in the drops of your favorite essential oil or essential oil blend and stir well.

For Whipped Tallow Balm:

• Let the tallow balm stand in mixing bowl at room temperature. Once solid, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip until it reaches a light and fluffy consistency. Transfer whipped balm to a glass jar with airtight lid for storage. Note - the whipped version tends to spread more like a cocoa butter during application.

For Solid Tallow Balm:

• Transfer tallow balm to a glass jar with an airtight lid. Place in the refridgerator until solid. Remove from refridgerator and allow tallow balm to reach room temperature.
