Youth-Renew Tallow Anti-Wrinkle Cream

This formula is ideal for the face and body.
It’s rich, deeply hydrating, and especially beneficial at night.
(For legs, it works beautifully too, but the anti-wrinkle benefits shine most on the face, neck, chest, and hands.)

🧴 Ingredients & Measurements (for ~4 oz jar)

Base

• Beef tallow (grass-fed preferred) – 3 tablespoons
• Jojoba oil (or sweet almond oil) – 1 tablespoon
  (Helps soften the tallow so the texture becomes creamy rather than stiff.)

Anti-Wrinkle Boosters

• Rosehip oil – 1 teaspoon
• Vitamin E oil – 4–6 drops (natural preservative + skin support)

Essential Oils (optional but powerful)

• Frankincense essential oil – 6–8 drops
• Lavender essential oil – 4–6 drops

(You may skip essential oils for sensitive skin.)

🧂 How to Make It

1. Gently melt the tallow
   Place beef tallow in a heat-safe bowl and warm it using a double-boiler method until just melted—don’t overheat.
2. Add the carrier oils
   Stir in jojoba oil and rosehip oil.
3. Let it cool slightly
   Allow the mixture to cool until it begins to thicken but is not solid (like room-temp butter).
4. Whip it (optional, but creates a fluffy cream)
   Use a hand mixer for 1–2 minutes to whip until soft and creamy.
5. Add essential oils + vitamin E
   Stir in gently.
6. Transfer to a clean glass jar
   Let it finish setting at room temperature.
