Native Roots Apothecary

I whipped the tallow that was rendered yesterday. A nice little harvest of 6- 8 ounce jars were able to be filled up!

These whipped tallow jars have nothing but whipped tallow as the ingredient. Tallow is something I find super beneficial by itself. I don't render with water as I don't want the possibility of mold to play into factor. This tallow does have a slight beef-y aroma (it is made from cow fat, sooo haha), but the aroma dissipates as it soaks into the skin. You may mix in a safe amount of essential oils if you'd like.

The source of the suet that is rendered comes from Bradley & Son Grass Fed Beef. They take super good care of their cows! I'm picky with all ingredients, and I'm glad I met these folks at the Truckee Farmer's Market a few summers ago.

I sold three jars, so I have three left up for grabs. $20 each or let's barter (looking for homemade pantry foods/goods). 🐮

Tallow soaps are up next! 🧼

I thought I'd post what I have leftover from my recent batch if anyone is interested! Both batches were made from this past weekend. ☺️

You may pick up from my home located near the Sparks Post Office, or we can make arrangements to meet up at a halfway location between our homes. 🏡

If anyone is new to my work, I've been making herbal medicinals the past nine years. I know I've been on a hiatus from my business page, but I am slowly getting back into my work. 💖
