Thank you kindly for the message. Tallow balms are very simple to make. All you need is 100% grass-fed tallow and a carrier oil of choice. I'd be happy to share my recipe if you'd like if not there are like soap making a million video tutorials. Your skin will feel like a million dollars!

No spots! Did a zap test and tastes like soap haha. Not crazy about the EO combo and scent. Trial and error. I'm going to do a batch of lemongrass tomorrow. Thank you for your help and advice! No spots! Did a zap test and tastes like soap haha. Not crazy about the EO combo and scent. Trial and...

Thank you! Unmolded and cut. Turned out great! No orange spots! Only problem is a bit of brittleness on the very bottom of a few bars. Any idea what would cause that? The hardness of the tallow?

Thanks for the reply! I do have a budget and yes the shipping is tough but not much one can do about that with limited places to purchase the product.

Hello! I'm new to soap making and would like to buy grass-fed beef tallow in bulk for my soap making. However, in Canada this is very difficult to find. Anyone know of any farms or outlets to purchase from in Canada? Any US farms or outlets that ship bulk orders of tallow to Canada? Thank you!

Thank you so much! I will most definitely try the tallow/CO and honey recipe. Now the decision is to try a FO instead of EO. I'll post a picture of the loaf once I unmold and slice. FYI I did dilute the honey in warm water.

I super fatted* at 6%. Too high? Also water percentage at 35 not 38% I have lots of tallow so I'll try a CO tallow combo. I added honey to the batch I think may have dos. Only a teaspoon. Mixed it with a tablespoon of the distilled water and added it to the oil before emulsifying.

I will take some photos when I unmold. I had a smal orange wet spot on top. Could it have been the alcohol I sprayed to prevent ashing? May I ask what ratio you use for tallow and coconut oil? Still debating whether to give FO a try.

Thank you so much for the welcome! Yes the FO EO seems to be a balancing act. Just checked on my latest small batch and think I may have some dos ☹️. I'll know when I unmold later. Have you worked with tallow?

Hello fellow soapmakers! My first post after making my first three small batches. I make tallow balm and have lots of beef tallow so I figured I'd give soap making a try! My recipes are 100% tallow first batch was unscented to keep it simple and it turned out great. Second batch was made...
