Whipped Tallow Body Butter
& Tallow Balm Workshop
In this workshop, you will learn how to make your own luxurious Whipped Tallow Body Butter and Tallow Balm. You will also learn how to source high quality ingredients, easy methods for dry rendering fat, and the techniques and equipment needed for using animal fats to make your own skincare creations.
Different oils and their benefits will also be discussed, as a liquid oil (olive, jojoba, sweet almond) is required to create the light and fluffy consistency of the whipped tallow, yet each oil has unique qualities.​ We will cover the uses of infusing herbs and flowers into the tallow/liquid oil to create a lovely, natural scent, while also adding beneficial properties.
These creations make wonderful gifts and knowing how to render and use animal fat is also a great skill to learn for your own use in creating a variety of personal care products as well as cooking and baking. Tallow is incredibly moisturizing as it is similar to the make-up of human skin, therefore, it absorbs easily without feeling greasy. It is also loaded with fat-soluble vitamins, trace minerals, and beneficial fatty acids, and contains both anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties.
​
By the end of this workshop, you will feel confident enough to make your own whipped tallow and tallow balm at home, but in the meantime, you will leave with two jars of Whipped Tallow Body Butter and one jar of Tallow Balm.
There will also be refreshments and snacks available during the workshop.​
