This video looks very interesting. I love tallow—beef, lamb, buffalo. It make great biscuits (you can even combine it with butter) and other baked goods, and is wonderful for frying. For those folks who don’t eat pork (like me), tallow also makes an excellent substitute for lard in just about any recipe—you can just use a 1:1 ratio when substituting. Another great thing about tallow is that it’s very stable—you often don’t even need to refrigerate it.
The skin cream sounds really easy and fun to make—I plan to watch this!
I have been using a pharmaceutical brand Vaseline Lanette cream from a plastic tube for many years. I have always wondered if the plasticizers in the plastic of the tube will not migrate into the cream after a long time. So I am definitely going to try your cream recipe.!
“Double Boiler” is called “Au-Bain-Marie” in France. Furthermore, deodorizing coconut oil is itself a chemical process so it seems better to buy the real stuff and preferably in glass! And the same goes for almond oil and tallow. Buy everything in a glass container.
And on Youtube, there are also channels highlighting hair and skin care methods of yesteryear, like this on: Historical Hair Care https://youtube.com/shorts/CbOkueRXbSw?si=pE46a33dGxuY8dM4
Oh, yeah, Benjamin64, I got a chuckle when Wolf said she had no idea what a double boiler was. 😉
And I agree about the coconut oil—you don’t want to use the cheap stuff. Like you said, glass is always better too.
Finally got a chance to watch this—cool video. 🙂
A few comments:
1) The percentage of tallow in Wolf’s recipe seems to be pretty low. Most recipes online for tallow skin cream use at least 50% tallow.
2) Tallow (a saturated fat) is actually very shelf-stable. So, you really don’t have to be too concerned about it going rancid. I have some edible buffalo tallow, and the bottle says you don’t even have to refrigerate it!
3) It’s better to use food-grade tallow. If it’s something you can’t eat, then you really don’t want to put it on your skin either, because it will be going straight into your bloodstream.
Anyway, enjoyed the video.
Oh, just thought of something else. 🙂 Cocoa butter is also great for skin. So, you could probably substitute some of that for part of the coconut oil or sweet almond oil.
