Tip:
To ensure the longevity of your tallow cream, consider adding a natural preservative like rosemary extract or grapefruit seed extract. These options can help prevent microbial growth and extend the shelf life of your product. Adding about 0.5% of the total weight of your cream should be sufficient. For example, if your total cream weight is around 270g, add approximately 1.35g of your chosen preservative.
