I make my own skincare balm with Methylene Blue, beef tallow, mint oil, tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil.

Proportions? Invented or internet find or…? Have some Methylene Blue that I forget to do anything with so could try this out

I didn’t follow a recipe. I just took 250g of beef tallow and melted it on the fire. 

Then, I let it cool down a bit in a metal bowl. When it started solidifying again, I began working on it (kind of like you’d whip heavy cream) with a whisk (I guess an electric mixer it's also good). 

Then, I started adding drops of MB blue and essential oils (without checking quantities), and checking by smelling it and rubbing it on my hands.

I guess using specific measurements would be better, but this time I did it quite casual... I still have 500gr of Beef tallow in the freezer waiting, next time I'll probably write down specific quantities.

Oh that’s perfect actually… I resist recipes unless really really needed 👹

Whisking the tallow while cooling and adding drops to taste 🤌
