Always apply whipped tallow balm to damp skin for best results. Use dry fingers when reaching into the jar. Start with a pea-sized amount and apply it to the face, elbows, knees, diaper rash areas, cradle cap, or anywhere that needs extra love. Since tallow is nutrient-dense and not watered down, a little goes a long way. If it feels greasy on your skin, try using less next time.
Store in a cool place and use within 6 months for best results. If the tallow balm melts, place it in the refrigerator until firm again. Although calendula is often recommended for wound care, you shouldn’t use it on open wounds without consulting your health care provider. If you are allergic to plants in the daisy or aster family (ragweed or chrysanthemums, for example), you may also react to calendula.
