Notes
Tips for Making DIY Foot Scrub With Tallow:
- Use fully whipped tallow or whipped tallow balm for the best texture. Soft, airy tallow blends more easily and creates a smoother scrub.
- Add the olive oil or coconut oil slowly. Start with less and increase only if needed to avoid an overly loose scrub.
- For very rough heels, use coarse sugar and keep the salt in the recipe. For sensitive skin, reduce the salt slightly and use finer sugar.
- Essential oils are optional. If using them, choose oils suited for foot care and keep amounts light to avoid skin irritation.
- Store the scrub in a clean, dry jar with a tight-fitting lid and avoid introducing water to extend shelf life.
