Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Double boiler

Materials

  • 1 cup Grass Fed Beef Tallow
  • 1/2 cup Coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup Shea butter
  • 8 tbsp Non-nano zinc oxide Or 1/2 cup
  • 25 drops Essential oil optional

Instructions

  • In a double boiler or a heat-safe bowl set over a pot of simmering water, combine the tallow, coconut oil, and shea butter. Stir occasionally until everything is melted and well-mixed.
  • Once melted, take the mixture off the heat and let it cool a bit, but not too much. It should still be liquid.
  • Mix the liquid in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment until it is whipped and creamy. This can take up to 10 minutes. You can also use a submersion blender.
  • Carefully mix in the zinc oxide. Make sure to wear a mask or be very gentle, as zinc oxide powder can be irritating if inhaled. Mix thoroughly until the zinc oxide is evenly distributed.
  • If you want a scent, add 25 drops of any essential oil you like.
  • Transfer the mixture into a clean, airtight container. You can use a jar or a tin, whatever you have on hand. Let it completely harden and set.
