How to Revive Melted Tallow: A Simple Step-by-Step Guide
Tallow is a luxurious, nutrient-rich skincare product, but its texture can sometimes change due to heat exposure. If your tallow melts and loses its whipped consistency, don’t worry—reviving it is easier than you might think! Follow this quick and easy process to restore your tallow to its original fluffy state.
What You'll Need:
- A small pot
- Water
- A melted jar of tallow
- A bowl
- A freezer
- A hand mixer
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare the Water Bath:
- Fill a small pot with about an inch of water.
- Place your jar of melted tallow into the pot, ensuring the water doesn't go over the jar's lid.
-
Heat to Melt the Tallow:
- Bring the water to a gentle boil. As the pot heats, the tallow inside the jar will melt completely.
- Once melted, remove the jar from the pot.
-
Transfer the Tallow:
- Carefully pour the melted tallow into a bowl. This will make it easier to work with in the next steps.
-
-
Cool the Tallow:
- Place the bowl of tallow in the freezer. Keep a close eye on it! You want the tallow to cool until it's soft but not fully hardened. This step usually takes about 15–30 minutes, depending on your freezer.
-
Whip the Tallow:
- Using a hand mixer, whip the softened tallow until it becomes light and fluffy. The texture should resemble whipped cream.
-
Rejar the Tallow:
- Once whipped, transfer the tallow back into its original jar or a clean container. It’s now ready for use and should maintain its texture for future applications.

Pro Tips:
- Prevent Future Melting: Store your tallow in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Don’t Rush the Freezing Step: If the tallow gets too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before attempting to whip it.
- Experiment with Scents: If you’d like, add a few drops of your favorite skin-safe essential oil while whipping for a personal touch!
