I’m loving my homemade tallow balm, but there’s just one problem. I can’t use it on my hands and still get things done. Don’t get me wrong; tallow balm isn’t greasy. But it is soft and thick and wet, and that makes it not-very-practical to apply regularly to hands that are busy typing, touching, stirring, cooking, tasting, and cleaning. At least, not unless I want to leave a trail of it everywhere I go. Which I don’t! A hard lotion bar, on the other hand, can be applied to the hands regularly without gunking-up everything one touches. Why not combine the the best of both into one? Introducing *tallow* hard lotion bars.

As long as I can remember, I’ve had keratosis pilaris, a skin rash caused by a Vitamin A deficiency. After reading an article toting the Heaven-sent benefits of tallow balm, I made my own to help heal my ‘kp’. In this post, I share the benefits of using grass-fed tallow in skin care, and I share a simple recipe for homemade tallow balm. Plus a current picture of my rash because I’ll be documenting the results!
