Why tallow
Closer to your own skin
Tallow is close in make-up to the oils your skin already produces, so it absorbs instead of sitting on the surface. No water in the jar means nothing that can spoil, and nothing in it to stop that happening. Four ingredients, or five.
Beeswax candle
The God Candle
Of the three gifts carried to Bethlehem, two were tree resins. The third was gold, and beeswax is about as close to gold as a candle gets. 250g of pure beeswax, infused with frankincense and myrrh.
