I just made this and it is so nice. I haven’t used it on my face, but put some of the leftover in the bowl on my arms and legs. I used rose eo It was so easy and came out so nice ! Thank you, Marissa

[@originalgifted7226]

Made this recipe last night, this morning i woke up it settled all the way down my 2oz shot glass jar. i applied it on my hands, it is so rich and creamy. A few minutes later after i applied onto my hands, my crack (where it was bleeding) went away shortly and it stays on my hands (not greasy kind, the smoothness stays) even after i wash my hands. Can't wait to try to apply on my face tonight when i go to bed. Love your recipes.

Many people (including myself) have had great success with acne prone skin and tallow :)

This recipe is so simple!!! Could i use bear grease that i rendered down? Or pork lard?

[@meytav]

Great! Wish you can make a diy shampoo video. That last long and dont need to storoge in the fridge 😅😊

[@kdb.7279]

I bought tallow that was already rendered/cleaned (not sure the right word lol but its not the fat that I had to break down myself) from a local butcher. I melted it down in a big pot, added lots of water and some salt and simmered it for an hour. Put it in the fridge to allow it to harder, removed the impurities from the bottom and repeated the process 3 times. The tallow is very white and clean looking but still has a faint smell. Am I doing something wrong or is this normal? Also I love your channel! Been binge watching for days! ❤️ thanks for all the great info!

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Thank you! It sounds like you may have soft trim fat tallow, and it can have a stronger, lingering smell. Leaf fat tallow is nicer :)

[@CVenza]

Hi Marissa, in the above recipe can magnesium be added? and if so, how much would you recommend? I just love your recipes and channel. Keep up the good work.

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Thank you so much! I wouldn't put magnesium on the face, but you could make the magnesium lotion recipe and substitute the shea butter for tallow :)

[@LaTejanita]

Hi, I am a new subscriber to your channel, love the way you preformed everything in this video! I have sensitive skin especially on the face so I am considering in making my own skincare moisturizer cleanser. Would it be ok to mix together any of the essential oils you used?

[@layaljalloul1028]

Hi Marissa, enjoyed this video a lot. Thank you for making tallow my everday routine. I watched all your videos about tallow and made my own lip balm, natural deodorant and facial cream. Unfortunately I can't get 100% grass fed tallow, do you think the ordinary one will still do the job? By the way I use the tallow that surrounds the belly, not the one attached to the meat.Thanx in advance

[@winnie7755]

Hi Layal, what is the difference please between the tallow that surrounds the belly and the one attached to the meat to make skin care ?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Thank you, I'm so glad! Yes, you can use non 100% grass fed tallow, and it will still have some very good benefits, just not quite as high amounts of the nutrients. Yes, the fat that is in the belly is the best 😊

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

The leaf fat that surrounds the internal organs is smoother, harder, and contains more beneficial nutrients than the trim fat 😊

[@mimozalekaj]

How to make this recipe without tallow? Can I use shea butter instead of tallow? I’m a vegan and I would like to make something vegan? I like your recipe.

[@julieswhirled9532]

Also, do you think I could melt down Epic store bought tallow and then whip and make this recipe?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Yes you can! Theirs is meant for cooking, so it might have more of a meaty smell, but it will still work great if you don't mind that :)

[@mrselizarraraz]

How long does it last? how should it be stored?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Great questions! I find that keeping it at room temp, it lasts around 6-12 months or longer :)

Which liquid oil would you recommend for acne? I understand it’s a gut-related issue, but I’m also 16 so it may have to do with hormones + my constant picking of my acne right before it heals. And would you recommend that I skip an essential oil if I have sensitive skin? Or is it fine to use? Thank you! I love your content so much :)

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Thank you so much! Great question. It's an individual thing, but jojoba oil can be really helpful for acne prone skin. As for the essential oil, you can try a light dilution, and see how it goes. If it seems too much, you can leave it out. Hope that helps!

How do you store whipped pure tallow? How long does it stay good?

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

Tallow is very shelf stable at room temperature. As long as there is no water in tallow and it doesn't get contaminated, the shelf life is around 6 months to a year or longer. If you want to store it longer yet, or just want to be on the safe side, I recommend keeping it in the fridge or freezer. It will last months in the fridge and forever in the freezer. The same for tallow balm. Hope this helps!

Thank you 🙏🏻

Hi, I just made the whipped tallow balm and I love it! Just a quick question: How long will it stay fresh? Must it be stored in a fridge?

What does good tallow smell and taste like ?

[@elizabethpeterson858]

It’s hard to describe, but if you follow her purification process, you will see how good your tallow really is based on how much impurities come out of it.The tallow I bought pretty much had no impurities come out so I’m guessing mine was a pretty good batch.

[@DanielaRosenrot]

These are all fatty ingredience - not hydrating/moisturizing. True hydration is water. The oils and waxes are for the skin barrier to help fight water loss - works only if you have added water (hyaluronic or glycerin...) to your skin before. Many oils will leave a glossy film on the skin surface. Oils that are absorbed very fast are grapeseed oil for example. But true hydration comes from an emulsion (=water + fat + emulsifier) or from a hyaluronic serum.

[@BumblebeeApothecary]

It seems funny at first, but tallow actually contains a lot of nutrients that help heal and prevent acne. (Personal experience here, as well as hearing from so many others!) It's antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and provides everything to heal and rebuild skin. The key is to not use too much, a little goes a long ways!
