[quote=Anonymous]Hi All!

I know this is an old post but for my two cents...
I'm a vegetarian, and I do use tallow balm. I make it with shea butter and essential oils, and it's the best. I also wear leather shoes... I think you should use every part of any animal that is killed. My husband eats the meat, I make soap and body cream from the fat.

My skin is now the best it's ever been. About three parts tallow to a half part unrefined shea, and make to a spreadable consistency with sunflower oil. None of those oils is comedogenic, unlike what they put in commercial skin lotions. Then add tea tree and other essential oils to my liking. I keep it in the fridge, and I love it. It heals burns and scrapes really fast, and my skin is so much more plump and soft. My hubby gets dermatitis in spring, and begs me to have a jar of tallow balm to take to work.. I go head to toe in it, every night. The excess on my hands gets rubbed into the ends of my hair. Our grandmas really knew what was good!

It's worked wonders for my acne, and old scarring. I'll never use commercial creams or lotions again. Everyone asks me what expensive ''procedures'' I've had done. I don't need laser, just good old beef fat![/quote]
