This easy to make homemade tallow lotion combines tallow, shea butter and a nourishing carrier oil such as jojoba oil to create a moisturising, nutrient-dense lotion.
Combine the tallow and shea butter in a microwaveable jug and heat for 30 seconds at a time in the microwave until the mixture is completely melted. Stir in between each heat burst.
This process could also be done in a double boiler.
Mix through the carrier oil such as jojoba oil or avocado oil.
Pour the mixture into a bowl and let it sit until it is hard, then whip with an immersion blender.
Add the essential oils, if using, and mix through.
