It’s been a few days since I decided to make my little one’s shampoo and a tallow balm and honestly, I’m amazed at the results 🧴✨
My feet are almost unrecognisable from what they were before (thank you, tallow!). I’ve even been using it on my youngest’s skin and it’s been such a game changer. I’m not planning on making huge batches, but whatever’s left after I restock my own shelves, I’ll happily share, it’s just that nourishing! 💛
As for the shampoo, when my little girl was weaning, we worried she might have an allergy because she’d often come out in hives around her face. Recently, she reacted to something in the bath again, so I stripped it right back. Just water, until I could do better.
Now her shampoo is as simple as it gets: herbal tea + Castile soap. No preservatives, no fuss, just real, gentle ingredients (it does need to be kept in the fridge though!). 🌿
Your skin is your biggest organ — it tells you what it needs. Don’t ignore the signs. Is making your own a little extra effort? Maybe. But honestly convenience isn’t always convenient in the long run 🤍
