I love this lotion! Though it's a bit greasier than conventional lotions, the benefits are many. Great information on tallow lotion can be found on The Weston A. Price website.
What you need:
1 11 ounce jar of Epic Beef Tallow (from Thrive)
1 to 2 ounces extra virgin olive oil
Your choice of essential oils (I have used geranium with lavender and also lemon and orange)
Equipment:
2 cup glass Pyrex measuring cup
Shallow pan
What you do:
In a glass Pyrex 2 cup measuring cup, scoop out all of tallow
Place in a pan filled with about 1 inch of water
Heat on medium until tallow is melted
Let tallow cool
Add 1 to 2 ounces of olive oil and desired amount of essential oils
Mix thoroughly (I use my electric hand mixer) and store in glass containers (an empty Organic Valley ghee jar is perfect)
Place in refrigerator to harden a bit, but not too much
Enjoy!
Caution: Be prepared for dogs to lick your legs. ;-) They love this stuff!
