Tallow Lip Balm
Ingredients
Steps
Melt tallow until it is liquid.
Measure tallow and beeswax and put into a heat safe container.
Create a double boiler by putting the container of tallow and beeswax into a pot of water.
Gently heat the water to a low simmer.
Allow beeswax to melt and become completely combined with the tallow.
Remove tallow and beeswax from heat.
Add honey.
Whip the mixture by hand with a fork or small whisk until it starts to cool a little. Don’t rush this step, or the honey may try to separate.
Once the honey seems to be staying suspended in the tallow, add the essential oils. Use 3o drops of milder essential oils, such as citrus ones, and 15 drops of more potent essential oils.
Combine well, and pour mixture into lip balm tins.
Immediately put tins into the freezer to harden.
Allow lip balms to come to room temperature, and enjoy.
