why my tallow relatively liquid instead of solid
Any chance you have or will have a tangible (ie. NOT ebook) book? I’d be up for that. I’m old and like pages I can touch lol
thanks for the great video this worked well for me. btw i didn't even notice you were pregnant till the the end lol
Could you add Castrol oil instead of olive oil?
Marissa, I have made a few batches of tallow balm, mixing it with olive oil. Most batches turned out beautifully but one came out grainy. Do you have any idea what may have caused this, or has it ever happened to you. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. I will try making this.
Can you use lard instead of tallow? I don't have any tallow but I happen to have some lard I got from a friend, would lard be an ok substitute?
I’m assuming that tallow has already been purified?
How do you add color?
I love this soooo much !! Thank you so much !! I love all your videos ❤
Thank you for sharing your recipe.
I made the whipped lotion, and my texture seemed really oily compared to yours. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do about it?
Thank you for sharing this video. I am going to make some of this for myself, but I was wondering if there was a shelflife so to speak. Will it go rancid after a period of time and if so about how long?
Can we use beeswax instead of olive oil to make the tallow balm softer?
I have sourced some grassfed, finished cow fat (around the kidney). I am going to render it and purify it according to your video instructions. I want to make the two balms…however, I want to add frankincense essential oil. I noticed that you added 48 drops of lavender, how much frankincense should I add?
Hi, thankyou for your videos. I am curious to know if you have any suggestions for having one product for moisturising face and body ? (The reason I ask is I have noticed you have a ‘face moisturiser’ video and a ‘body moisturiser’ video…. I am new to this so please excuse the probably obvious questions, but am wondering if this balm would be an option for this ?
Thanks
Does it smell bad?
Hi. Just wondering where to store the balm?
Please tamil language transulat.. From India 🇮🇳 Tamilnadu.
Do you have to keep it refrigerated?
Thanks for the info!
I rendered my tallow, but it still has a beef smell. I didn’t use water to render my tallow. I just used my crockpot and then I strained it twice. However, it still smells what can I do?
Hi thank you for the diy instructions!
Q – do you melt it on the stove or microwave? What would happen if I didn't melt it and just 'whipped' it with evoo? Would it work? Haha can you tell I'm new yet still trying to find shortcuts.. 😅
So sweet of you to share your recipes!!! Thank you!!
These are awesome resource videos. Thank you so much. I've only ever done whipped tallow once and my concern is that the one I made loses the WHIPPED consistency and becomes almost a liquid. Does this recipe stay whipped and soft? Does it need to be refrigerated? The one I made is very nice but it is best in the fridge…yet it is more solid and not whipped. Thank you for your help.
How would you store it, in the fridge or can it stay on the counter?
Has anyone tried this with castor oil as the liquid?
Nothing more healthier for our skins than animal fats.
How long does the whipped balm last before it starts to mold?
Where can I buy the tallow that is unscented, or if you have a video to teme off the smell pls send to me. Thanks for sharing.
Your straight-to-the-point, simple and clear videos are so so so appreciated!! Pure quality and education without the noise of trying too hard to be showy. I absolutely love your channel!! Thanks Marissa! You’re the best 😘
I’ve purified my tallow through 4 melts with purified water, strained it through meslin cloth and it still has a pungent odor. The color is pure white when it is solid. Am I doing something wrong?
Could you use coconut oil?
How long does it stay in date for please ? Thank you so so much for thin god bless you. X x
Can this used for hair
how easy is the solid one (not the whipped one) to use? Do you just take some out with your finger and then rub it into your face?
WOULD CASTER OIL WORK WITH THE TALLOW? CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE THIS..PLZ ANSWER
Excellent videos. Thank you!
Awesome videos! Do i need to worry about oxidation or shelf life of the whipped balm?
Can this be made with pork tallow? Are the benefits the same ?
Awesome, can't wait to try this. Thank you so much for your videos. God bless.
How long can I store this ? Shelf life of talim
Balm
I'm a new subscriber and have been binge watching your videos 😊 I cant thank you enough for the knowledge that you are sharing. I'm in the process of making the whipped version of your tallow balm. I added 24 drops of Lavender and 24 drops of Geranium essential oils. Can't wait to try it.
Could I use lard instead of tallow for this recipe
48 drops seems like an insane amount of essential oils
How long does it normally last and how can you tell when it’s gone bad?
I bought some from a farmers market where I live. Every time I open the jar, the top is covered in water. Do you know why that is?
