We have access to a lot of beef fat, so we’re finally experimenting with rendering to make zinc sunscreen, magnesium lotions and comfrey salves.

Any other ideas for how to use (besides cooking)?

Or any other tips?

Will probably share some of these as Christmas gifts for family.. will be nice to have that done half way through the year

Recently made my comfrey salve with tallow and loooove it. I will still do some with coconut oil but my personal preference will be with tallow

Have heard beef tallow makes a good chapstick too!

Wow! That is amazing! Are you selling the zinc sunscreens made from rendering beef fat anywhere? Would love to try some!

My wife is. If you’re ever in Austin, Tx you can stop by the farmers market and get some from her.

She is spreading the Bitcoin word to all of her customers

Very cool! What farmers markets is she at? Does she have a website?

Sunset valley farmers market.

No website/online sales yet until she sorts out finished packaging.

She’s not at market for the next month but she’ll be back in early September.

Tell her you found her on Nostr if you ever visit. She doesn’t quite see the value of it yet lol
