Important to make sure it is grass fed or clean beef or the tallow will be tainted

I'm sure the beauty skin products on store shelves are much more tainted than skin cream made from tallow that has come from grass fed, grain finished beef. Not everyone has access or can afford grass fed but still a better choice than skin cream full of chemicals from store shelves.

More important to consider pesticide use in the area. Even certified organic products can be contaminated through groundwater. States like Illinois should be avoided imo

Has anyone on the “grass fed grass finish” train considered the fact that pastures and any type of planted grass (for colder months) has to be fertilized and chemically sprayed with a herbicide to prevent weeds from taking over? And fertilize is made by extracting raw materials (potassium and phosphorus) and chemically mixed with nitrogen turned into a powder then compressed into a granular form. As a prime angus beef producer, there is absolutely nothing wrong with supplementing beef with grain. As far as grass fed having more Omega 3’s, that would be a fact. But it’s STILL only a fraction of what your body needs per day. So you still are required to get your fatty acids from another source. Here’s another tidbit of info, grass fed cattle must walk and walk….and walk and walk to consume their 3% of food per day. It takes so much longer for that steer (or heifer) to get up to proper weight for any processor. (Usually around 1,300-1,400lbs) our steers reach processing weight in 16 months and are MUCH more tender, plus grade prime. The flavor is better and you can even cut the sirloins with a fork. If you ask a meat cutter or butcher what a better beef is, they will tell you grain. If you ask a social media influencer, they will tell you grass fed. The choice is yours to make. But that’s why Prime beef is much more expensive than choice or select.

I bet putting manuka honey in the mixture would be awesome

Hi, Abbey... Thanks for sharing this tallow balm recipe. I have combination skin. So I made this recipe with combination oils n split it into two. In the first half, I add arrowroot powder n I find it less oily n setter on my skin during the day. While in the other half I just leave it as it is n use it at night. Both of them give me automatically glowing skin!!! Oh there is a fun fact about it, someone smells me using the tallow like a meat ball. Yummy isn't it?🤣🤣🤣 I consider it as a compliment 😁

I have so much rendered tallow jarred up. So easy to render in a crockpot or even an IP. I am lucky enough to still have a real butcher counter at one of our local grocers. If I give them a week, they will save the beef fat (or pig fat for lard) and I get it for about $2/pound. I just tell them how much I want. It renders down beautifully. So glad to see this video, had no clue I could do this. Does it need to be refrigerated after making or is it shelf stable?

Tallow is usually shelf stable at least 6-12 months. I have whipped tallow from over a year ago that I keep in a cool cabinet and it is still totally fine :) I usually store my tallow in the fridge just to extend its life

how does it smell?

Is tallow balm is close to butter ghee ? Or desi ghee ?

Can food extracts be used? Since itll be dor skin care. Im gessing since its food grade, it should be safe to use as a scent?🤔 Also, can the whipped tallow, than be stored in fridge? Or will it affect its texture. How long does it last? Once whipped?

hi Abbey, in your demo what tallow did you use? I looked at the tallow in the link that you gave to amazon and there were a lot of complaints in the reviews that it was brown and smelled strongly of beef. In your demo, your tallow looked nice and whitish.

I've been rendering beef fat for tallow. It needs to be melted with water and salt then strained several times. The water and salt help to remove the beef smell and when strained with a double cheese cloth in a strainer it removes the impurities from the fat. You are left with very little smell and adding a touch of essential oils helps as well. Hope this helps ☺️

Absolutely, purify first with water and salt to cleanse of beefy odour. There will still be a light odour, but is dissipates shortly after being rubbed in the skin.
