Materials

  • 20 oz grass-fed tallow 567 grams

Instructions

  • Measure tallow and jojoba oil and combine them. Melt using a double boiler or in the oven on a low temperature. When melted, stir until fully combined. See Notes for tallow rendering instructions.
  • Measure and add lavender essential oil when the tallow mixture is at about 100ºF.
  • Put the bowl in the refrigerator so it will solidify quickly.
