I make tallow lotion for my daughter's healing eczema. She is going through some healing internally for it and sometimes the detoxing causes severe flare up, tallow lotion is wonderful for her skin. Use only organic grass fed suet/ tallow and organic everything else. For about $10 I can fill 6- 8 oz jars and lasts for months.<br />For her recipe I use 8 oz tallow, 1 oz olive oil, 2 tsp calendula oil and about 20-30 drop (total) essential oils of sandalwood, helichrysum, chamomile and lavender.<br />For my skin that I use on my face (yes...and it works amazing) and feet, hands, etc... use 8 oz tallow, 1 oz olive oil and 20-30 essential oils that I like when i make it.<br /><br />Hope that encourages more to make some like you! <br /><br />Natasha @ Saved by the Egg Timerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11366250285978341273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803158034920725386.post-81976478291980603092013-02-28T10:35:13.806-05:002013-02-28T10:35:13.806-05:00I found your blog through the Hookin Up with HoH #...I found your blog through the Hookin Up with HoH #137.

We purchase 1/4 of a cow and 1/2 of a pig at a time and when I do I ALWAYS ask for the fat so I can render it and the bones for bone broth. I made my lard first and when it cools it is pure white. After I made my tallow and it was yellowish after cooling I was a little afraid. But, I quickly found out that was a good sign - proving my meat really was grass-fed and grass-finished! <br /><br />I learned a lot in your post! I had no idea you could use tallow for all of those other things besides cooking. Thanks so much for linking up with Wellness Wednesdays!

I've learned all about the benefits of grass-fed, pastured meats and FAT through my exchange into the paleo/primal lifestyle. Peeps are always extolling the benefits of tallow but I never made it myself. I think I'll give it a try using my crock pot. Thank you so much for posting this and I'm glad I saw this on one of the blog hops!Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13544267170458316863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803158034920725386.post-24739543728955514212013-02-27T11:17:06.795-05:002013-02-27T11:17:06.795-05:00Oh my goodness, I remember reading about tallow in...Oh my goodness, I remember reading about tallow in the Little House on the Prairie books, too. What's even more strange? I have three HUGE bags of beef fat sitting in my freezer right now. We buy a side of grass-fed beef from a farmer friend every year, and I'd asked for the bones for stock, and the fat... though I didn't have plans for it. Now I know what to do with it.

If you go to localharvest.com, you can find farms near you, and hopefully someone is selling pastured meat nearby. Farmer's markets, once they're in season are good places to find farmers (ask the veggie folks if no one is selling meat - they might know where to point you). If any small local stores are in your area, ask them where they get their meat. But really - the last place I lived had none of these resources, and I think that's the case in a lot of places. The online source I see most recommended is US Wellness Meats: http://www.grasslandbeef.com/StoreFront.bok - they are pricier than the farmer I go to by a lot, though.Lynda Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089297786526347367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803158034920725386.post-72729527043647354522013-02-27T01:50:54.278-05:002013-02-27T01:50:54.278-05:00Wow, this is really amazing.
