I am a big fan of multi-purposing.
I like using just a few kitchen utensils that I can make any meal with.
I like furniture that also doubles as storage.
Ad I really like ingredients that are one-hit-wonders.
Like many women, in my teens years I had a separate skincare product for every single skin issue. One for cleansing. One for toning. One for moisturizing. One for acne. One for spf and so on.
After making my own natural products for several years I've come to learn that you don't need a specific product for each and every individual use.
There are a few ingredients that really cover all the bases.
Yes, Tallow is one of them!
Here's my new favorite recipe for an all natural, multi-purpose creamy face cleaner! The tallow moisturizes, the manuka honey brightens, the coconut soap cleanses and the bamboo powder tones!
click on the ingredients below to order everything you need for this simple but powerful all-in-one creamy face cleanser!
Ingredients:
Manuka Honey - Here's the most cost effective one I've found!
Bamboo powder - Support a small local business with this one!
Coconut Soap - This one is sensitive enough for any skin!
Distilled Hydrosol - I like Tea Tree or Lavendar!
germall Plus/Radish root extract (Radish root can be hit or miss as an effective preservative depending on the fermentation level)
Directions:
1. Stir 1 teaspoon xanthan gum with 3 teaspoons glycerin. Stir until slurry forms
2. Add in 1/8 teaspoon germall plus
3. Add 1 teaspoon Tallow and 1/2 teaspoon Manuka Honey. Stir until consistent
4. Add 1/2 cup of hydrosol and stir for 45 seconds
5. Add 1/2 cup coconut soap and stir for 45 seconds
5. Add in 1 Tablespoon powder and stir until consistent
Store in clean container with lid!
(you may see white "beads" of the tallow at first but it will fully dissolve after a day"
