What is Rose Tallow Face Cream?

Rose tallow face cream is a luxurious, nutrient-rich moisturizer that’s perfect for dry or sensitive skin.

Tallow, derived from rendered animal fat, closely mimics the structure of human sebum, making it incredibly effective at moisturizing and repairing skin.

When paired with rose-infused oils, this cream becomes a powerhouse of hydration and anti-inflammatory goodness.

How to Make Rose Tallow Face Cream

Crafting your own tallow face cream may sound fancy, but trust me, it’s SO easy!

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create a moisturizer you’ll love:

Instructions

Place rose petals into a clean glass jar, filling it about halfway.

Seal the jar and let it sit in a warm, dark place for 4 to 6 weeks. (Yes, patience is key!)

Place the jar in a double boiler and slowly heat until everything is fully melted. (Microwaving works too, but keep an eye on it and go slow!)

Stir gently to combine.

Once the mixture has slightly cooled, add your essential oils.

    Notes

    • You can use rose essential oil, but it is so expensive. Geranium is similar and smells so good! Any other essential oils will do.
    • This turned out to be a bit runny for me. I think I will add a little less infused oil or add a bit of beeswax to thicken it more. But I do love how easy it is to apply since it’s so smooth!

    How to Use Rose Tallow Face Cream

    A little goes a long way with this cream!

    • Start with a pea-sized amount and gently massage it into your face using circular motions.
    • Use it as part of your morning or evening skincare routine. I prefer it at night.
    • It doubles as a night cream or a base for makeup.
