Hello @Judi9877 I've just been researching how to make your own moisturiser out of beef tallow. Last year it was brought to my attention via a nutritionist who recommended it as it was a clean product with no chemicals added and was also great for anxiety and PTSD. Its very calming to the nervous system to allow the skin to absorb tallow, its very similar to abhyanga which is a self oiling practice in ayurveda. The only problem was that tallow moisturiser cost too much.
I decided today to research how to make tallow out of throw away beef brisket at the butchers which is practically worthless as it just normally gets tossed out. You just put brisket in a pot with nothing added over a low heat for several hours and alow the fat to be released, cool slightly & then put through a sieve into a bowl. Add coconut oil or olive oil and some essential oils. Allow it to set in the fridge then fluff it up with a mixer before using a spatula to put in jars. It does not smell there is no odor apart from essential oils. It has Vitamins and Omega 3-6-9's and no chemicals in it that you can't spell! It was the first moisturiser that generations before used to use. Anyway it will keep me busy.
