Sharing is Caring...
If you want to start making DIY skincare recipes, these 5 recipes are the perfect place to start. I am a huge advocate of using tallow in skin care products as I have seen what it can do. Tallow products have never burned my kiddos skin (and they get horrific eczema.)
These 5 skin care recipes have completely transformed mine and my families skin. We use the soap for our hands, as body wash and even sometimes a shampoo! We solely use the deodorant for a non toxic option that keeps us stink free all day.
If you are ready to start on your own natural skincare journey, these recipes are the best place to start!

Whipped Tallow Lotion
Ah tallow lotion. The recipe that started it all for me. If you have been around the blog for a while, you would know that this tallow whip is what got me started on my tallow skin care journey.
My kiddo has struggled with horrific eczema (i’m talking send you to the hospital kind of eczema) since they were born and all of the lotions and creams we tried, burned their skin horribly. If you have broken skin or eczema, you know that burning just aggravates the issue, it does not heal it and putting painful cream on a kiddo feels awful.
I was so sick of pursuing these options that didn’t work so I went out on a limb and tried tallow balm. It was like a light switch flipped on. There was 0 burning and within days the eczema patches were healing. It felt like a miracle.
If you have been debating trying out a tallow whip or balm, I encourage you to give it a go.
Tallow Deodorant (No Baking Soda)
If you are on the “natural deodorants don’t work” train, I urge you to give this deodorant recipe a try. I have used all of the deodorants and I always end up with a hint of musk by 3:00.
I played around with formulas for a long long time and I finally settled on one that actually works. The best part? It contains no baking soda. Baking soda can be a severe underarm irritant so leaving it out allows you to use this deodorant long term.
The active ingredient is zinc oxide and that is how you keep the smell away.
Tallow Lip Balm
If dry lips aren’t your thing, you need this tallow lip balm in your life. It glides on, feels amazing and keeps your lips kissable all day long.
This lip balm recipe is easy to customize and uses only a handful of ingredients so you can make a big batch and throw them into all of your bags to keep on the go, or give them away to friends and family.
I love this tallow lip balm!
Tallow Face Cream
This tallow face cream is soft, luxurious and totally customizable. If you have been interested in making your own tallow face cream, this face cream recipe is the perfect place to start.
This face cream recipe can be made to benefit oily skin, dry skin or a combination. You can add different essential oils that each have unique properties depending on what benefits you want to focus on.
You can make this tallow face cream with only 2 ingredients in a balm or a whipped form. I love using this whip after a shower to lock in all of the moisture.
Tallow Body Soap
This is a wonderful, basic soap recipe that is the perfect place to start with soap making. This recipe comes with a video so you can learn exactly how to make it without the stress.
This tallow soap bar is so smooth and can be used as a hand soap, body wash or even a shampoo bar.
This tallow soap is multipurpose and one of the staples in my house. I hope you love it too!
