• HEALING Eczema/Psoriasis Treatments • Creams • Foundation • Lip 👄 Balm • Makeup • dry, cracked skin •
(Another hint is 100% pure (sheeps wool) Lanolin [is an ester, not a fat] for conditioning extremely dry, cracked skin, overnight).
… as per my ADHD routine, there’s lots of ideas and hints all rolled up into a single post. I encourage readers to take one standard recipe, and then tweak as necessary over your experience, to come up with your favorite recipes:
💋 SKIN CARE (& MAKE-UP):
BASIC WHIPPED TALLOW SKIN CREAM recipe, more specifics
This is a doubled batch of my first attempt:
• 16 oz warmed Beef home-rendered tallow
• 4 oz Caster Oil
• 4 oz Sweet Almond Oil
• 3-4 tsp Arrowroot Powder
• I divided the mixture in half, and put about 30 drops of LAVENDER Essential Oil in one 1/2 of the batch, and about 45 drops of Madagascar VANILLA Essential Oil in the second 1/2 of the batch.
***To WHIP IT: melt tallow to liquid; do not overheat.
I let it cool on the counter for 5 minutes,
put it in the fridge for 5 more minutes, then take it out and
whipped it for 6 minutes, then
put it back in the fridge for another 8 minutes, and
then whipped it again …
until I was happy with the consistency! Stiff Peaks are the goal.
I added Essential Oil, fragrances last.
It turned out extremely SILKY smooth!
Put the cream into a ziplock bag /with a tiny hole cut off one corner, or cake decorating bag, to effectively squeeze the cream into containers easily.
(ARROW ROOT - minimizes greasy feeling)

Someone else’s recipe: VANILLA
8oz tallow
1oz jojoba, 1oz castor, ½oz vitamin E, 1½oz sunflower Oil. (4oz oil total)
15-30 Drops of Essential Oils of Choice
2 teaspoons of vanilla bean paste
1-2 teaspoon of arrowroot powder
Our body butter is supper whipped, soft, but holds shape until you apply and its so light, silky, and fluffy.

Here’s another option from Facebook friends:
I agree with adding some arrow root
— I’d add 1-1 1/2 tablespoons per cup of LARD (for pork lard recipes). Beef Tallow is generally a more preferred fat source.
