Instructions

In a double boiler, combine the tallow, beeswax, and shea butter.
Gently heat until everything is fully melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in the jojoba oil, red raspberry seed oil, and carrot seed oil.
Add essential oils if using and mix well.
Slowly add the non-nano zinc oxide, stirring continuously until fully incorporated and smooth.
Wearing a mask during this step is recommended to avoid inhaling the powder.
Allow the mixture to cool until it begins to thicken slightly.
Once partially set, use a hand mixer to whip the mixture until light and fluffy.
