Instructions

  • In a large heat-safe bowl, weigh your tallow and cocoa butter separately.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a pot of simmering water and place the heat safe bowl over the water so the shea butter and tallow are gently heated.
  • Remove from heat and add the oils and honey. Stir until mostly dissolved.
  • Place your bowl in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes until it begins to solidify and turn an almost dark green color. You do not want it to be completely solid, but instead look like it is waxed over.
  • Use a hand or stand mixer to whip on high for around 10 minutes until the lotion is pale, creamy, and has air pockets
  • Fill small jars with the tallow lotion and store in the refrigerator or a cool dark place until ready to use.
