Equipment

  • Small Saucepan
  • Medium-size Stainless Steel Bowl
  • Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer with Whisk Attachment
  • 4oz Glass Jar with a Lid (or two 2oz)
  • Mini Silicone Spatula

Ingredients  

  • 60 g Tallow
  • 30 g Coconut Oil
  • 15 g Beeswax
  • 15 drops Cedarwood Essential Oil
  • 15 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Instructions 

  1. Start by measuring your tallow, coconut oil, and beeswax into a metal bowl.
  2. Fill a saucepan with about 1 cup of water and heat it on medium-high. Place your bowl with the fats and wax on top of the saucepan, ensuring it sits above the simmering water, to create a double boiler. This will gently melt the tallow without direct heat.
  3. Allow the fat and wax to melt completely, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting.
  4. Once fully melted, remove the bowl from the heat and let it cool on the counter slightly. Add cedarwood and eucalyptus essential oils to the melted mix and stir it in.
  5. Let cool at room temperature until it reaches a semi-hardened state.
  6. Once semi-hardened, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, begin whipping the mixture. Continue to whip until the balm reaches a whipped consistency. It will be heavier than other whipped tallows because of the beeswax but should still have an aerated consistency. This process should take a couple of minutes.
  7. Once whipped, transfer the balm into a clean jar or container for storage.
  8. Apply the whipped tallow beard balm to a beard and face for moisturizing, cooling, and pore tightening benefits.

Notes

Using the tallow beard balm consistently will result in a softer beard and healthier skin underneath.
For best results, apply the tallow beard balm while your beard is still slightly damp from washing, allowing the balm to penetrate the hair and skin more effectively.
After applying the tallow beard balm, comb through your beard to distribute the product evenly and maximize its benefits.
