I really appreciate you! I made your cream pot lotion is my absolute favorite! I'm definitely gonna make this one aswell , you're a huge inspiration especially when one suffers from depression, i lost interest in everything then I found you & I'm up making things, and super pleased with what I'm doing! I can't thank you enough for your generosity & kindness. u r so unselfish. I still have bad days,but no where near as many as I use to! Thank you from my whole ❤️
Can I just say, your channel for me has been the best one I have come across. Your products themselves are amazing, I have no problems following your advice through any of your recipes cause everything is given out so thoroughly and clearly. Not only that as a total beginner you still make things understandable for the likes of such as me. So this is for all of you starting out, you will not go wrong watching Ellen she's great ,give it a go. But from me Ellen it's a big Thank you. 🥰🇬🇧
You are such an amazing person, I watched more than 20+ videos for body butters, you are the only one who mentioned every small and important detail, also in a very smooth easy way, you made it smooth and not complicated, you’re really a positive person, thank you for everything, you made me more open for the idea of making my own business with body creams cuz I wasn’t so sure 💛🙏🏻
I love Babassu Oil in my body butter and soap formularions. Soaps come out with a fluffier lather to me in cold process and hot process soap making. Love your videos and hope to see one with you using Babassu Oil!
I use Babassu Oil in my soaps and bodycare products. I have a horrific allergy to coconut and coconut oil. I have not had any issues with using Babassu Oil on my body.
Coconut oil dries out my son's skin. He has eczema and even though alot of people say it's so good for people with eczema, that is not the case for my son. I've used Babassu oil and it has worked great too. Just wondering, how you combat the grains? It's nice and smooth for me at the beginning but over time, grains develop when I have a high percentage of butters. Thank you, I enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you for sharing all your recipes. I absolutely love love your channel. I always kept my tv on the Hallmark Channel , now it stays on Ellen Ruth . LOL! So, I just made this body butter. I cut down the recipe to try this just for myself . It is truly amazing! ❤
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I started making soap since April battling depression. I have learned so much thanks to you. God bless you, and may your business continue to flourish.
Ahh. So after watching this video countless times and slowly accumulating all the ingredients (I’ve been spending too much on soap items 😂), I finally made this yesterday and it is DIVINE. The scent stays on even after I wash my hands in dish soap! I honestly did not like the scent of Love Spell when I smelled it in the bottle, but in this lotion it’s just amazing. Thank you so much for this tutorial and the recipe. ❤️❤️❤️And merry Christmas!
Ellen, I have been watching ALL your videos! I am working up to make my own soap and have been learning so much. I already made lotion bars from your recipe and my family loved them. I’m 25 weeks pregnant was thinking of making a whipped coconut oil for sensitive baby skin- well I knew just where to look! 😅 thank you for the lovely wealth of knowledge you share. 😊
I just made this! Thanks so much for the recipe. I however did Jojoba, Avocado and Olive oils (11oz total) instead of Grapeseed and Jojoba. It feels so luxurious and the Arrowroot really cuts down the greasiness and helps absorbtion.
Thank you for such a great video. I’m looking forward to making your body butter. The only question I have is do you have keep putting the butter in the fridge?
The problem with coco butter and coconut oil is they can clog pores. You could use muru muru butter and kokum butter. I also noticed you are using bleached and deodorized shea butter (it's white) it's better to use the natural stuff (light yellow) and melting can cause the finished product to be grainy.You can still whip the butter without melting it. The rest of the products you're using won't clog doors but I'd eliminate the coco butter and coconut oil, especially if you're selling it.
I am just discovering how awesome making candles, soaps, body butter, bath salts, shampoo bars can be. Ellen , thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in this area and for giving clear, concise, and inspiring videos to us novice crafters. Giving us resources for where we can find supplies has been extremely helpful to me. I am a new subscriber and highly recommend your channel @EllenRuthSoap
Love the results, makes my skin baby soft! Thank you for sharing! I'm wondering if adding a little wax to the recipe would help it survive shipping in the warmer months.
I like babassu oil as a coconut oil replacement. Its harder when cold or room temp like coconut oil and it leaves behind a nice silky smooth feeling on the skin that isn’t too greasy
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I love mine, but I'm always wanting to try new things, and this triple butter recipe looks amazing! Funny thing, last time I ordered jars and lids, they were out of the black lids, and I had to get the metal ones. Lol!
A trick I learned with shea butter to prevent it from going grainy: hold it at at 120 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 20 minutes. Thank you Mrs Soap & Clay 😄
Hieee Ellen... Amazing recipe... I feel like grabbing it and using it right awayyy....😀😍Grapeseed Oil also a great replacement for coconut oil and also a light oil which will be lovely on your skin.
I just wanted to pop in and take the time to say Thank You for sharing your videos, and your advice! That is a very kind thing to do, to share knowledge and tips. ☺️ I found your channel just yesterday, and have watched several lol! I aspire to make these and a few other things. About 6-7 years ago, I made my own batch of brown sugar scrubs-using sugar-brown sugar-Coconut oil-and just put into the smaller mason jars lol! It was purely experimental and the stuff worked amazing. Now, I truly hope to get started with learning about more, and one day having a small buisness of my own. You are a wonderful inspiration, with a beautiful and kind hearted soul, your laugh reminds me of my dear Aunt Vera’s 🥰 Blessings to you and many thanks 😊 ~Wynter
You could omit the coconut oil altogether, the rest of the butta's in this whip are sufficient the only other thing I would leave out is the arrowroot powder, for me using the lighter oils help with quicker absorption and are not greasy or oily feeling.
Thank you for the tutorial and recipe. I love your videos. I quartered the recipe and its in the fridge now. My first time every doing a body butter. Thanks for the inspiration
Your process is always super easy to follow and understand. Quick question. Is the optiphen to be dissolved in the fragrance oil only? What if I am not adding any fragrance, then what do I add it to? Water? If so, how much? Thank you
I just found your channel. and glad I did... Thanks for the tips on products... Question ... Which label do you order? What is the name/#? Whta Etsy shop did you order your font from if you don't mind sharing... Just placed orders with a couple of the sites you mentioned... Again thank you...
So I’ve never used Babassu before but I always think of it as a liquid oil. Is Babassu a solid oil like coconut oil? Because if it’s a liquid oil, won’t that make the body butter recipe more fluid if you just swap it for the coconut oil straight across??
Lovely video. Maybe the people who had an issue with Vitamin E oil don't know that it is an antioxidant (it is a small amount, too much antioxidant can actually serve as a pro-oxidant). Another choice would be ROE, rosemary oleoresin.
I Love all of your videos, thank you for sharing. Is there a special cream to make for hospice patients there skin is always dry and cracked. It would be nice to have something special to make them feel a little better! Thanks again!
Love this video so much. I have been formulating trying to get the perfect formula for my butters. This video really helped. May I ask, do your butter still have a chocolate scent when you are finished? I have been trying different ways to mask the chocolate scent so that it won’t overpower the actual scent that I’m going for. I don’t want to use the deodorized butter because it don’t have most of the healing properties. Any tips?
I really love WSP! Their prices are good and even if they are a bit higher, since the shipping is free on $25+ it’s actually still cheaper due to others having such high shipping cost... I really would like to try a body butter, it looks so moisturizing!
Haha I thought I was the only one taking my leftovers to the shower with me. Anyhow Ellen I left my body butter on the counter to go down to room temperature after whipped ,and them I check how the picks are holding up before packaging
@@EllenRuthSoap it’s great! I use it in my soaps and in all my recipes that I want the slip of coconut without using it. My skin doesn’t love coconut. It dries me out. Babassu is definitely more expensive. Worth it to me!
LOL You ride the struggle bus? 😂 I have many years experience in graphic design & believe me, I don't have a lot of fun doing labels either. I can come up with great concepts, sktech them out, I'm great at getting everything aligned, choosing fonts & so on, but god almighty, labeling is something I dread every time. Currently figuring out how to make it less of a struggle bus ride for myself 😂 I wish Online Labels didn't hose Canadians so much for shipping, otherwise I would use them. Their shipping prices are pure thievery. I ended up ordering a load of kraft labels from Mr Label - $5 or so shipping for a huge stack - and got thousands sent to me from China. Now I'm going through the layout process *ugh* and then having my local small community printer run them off for me with her commercial laser printer.
For those that are upset at her for not posting the amount of vitamin e oil just squeeze in some. The scale showed 0 oz so if u need a measurement then give it a jujjj a squeeze about 1oz or less
Instead of them getting upset over not putting the amount of vitamin e used they should be grateful that Ellen is sharing her recipes for free..for that the one's that are upset should try learning how to formulate their own recipes so that they won't be so dependent to get upset...just saying 🤔
I’m trying this today. Currently sitting waiting for the oils to solidify. And I just think 🤔 you’re kinda like the Betty Crocker of soap making. Someone should interview you and talk about the life of a soaper business owner 😊
How much of a batch the ingredients makes you did not and the batch size of the recipe also I have learned alot about making cosmetic products from you you are one of my favorites Thanks so much
Vanillin can discolor lotions, but not as drastic as in soap.. This formula does not require a preservative because it doesn't have a water phase. That being said, I do suggest using one if you're selling the product.
hye ellen,...and used just cocoa butter and coconut oil for butters n oil?meaning that shea n mango i also change to cocoa butter .Also with the jojoba n grapeseed i changed to coconut oil? btw i love ur video and get so much information on it tq !!🥰
@@EllenRuthSoap ok i'll try it first..second question from me,is it ok for me to use transparent soap base n not the clear white colour want.tq ellen for all ut videos,u r such an inspiration n cant believe that u reply comment 🥰
I made this amazing body butter and really love it. Been giving to my family and friends. I also make a lot of soaps to give away too from your recipes. Your videos are very informative. Your such a sweet lady and I enjoy you so much. Thank you again for all you do and may God bless you.
Ellen, thank you so much for giving us such amazing recipes . I was just curious do you think you could substitute the arrowroot powder for some calamine powder . I have a daughter in law with eczema . Just thought this might be a calming effect?? Would appreciate any thoughts you had. Thanks as always- Janet
Thanks! I don't think calamine would be a good sub, because it would sit on top of the skin and leave a "color" behind. It would make a good salve or lotion for irritated spots, but probably not an all over butter... I haven't tried it, those are just my initial thoughts.
@@janetcaird6807my son and nephew has eczema and Ellen's formulation should be fine for your daughter in law, given she does not have any sensitivity to any of the ingredients. The key I found with my son is to put it on right after you take a shower. When his skin is irritated, it is best to apply multiple times a day. My nephew who is in his early twenties does not like body butters. Even with arrowroot, he says it's still too greasy for him. Instead, he likes a thick cream type lotion (water based emulsion) where it does not leave an oily feel. Maybe, also give Ellen's thick lotion recipe a try? I found, even with my son, water based lotion really help because their skin is already dry so some type of humectant really helps. I formulate with 10% glycerin and add aloe. Good luck finding something for your daughter in law.
Can you make a video of how to make whipped body butter using only shea butter that’s the only butter that I have. Do I have to have mango butter and coco butter also?
I love all ur video's i am writing all ur recipes down i hope u don't mind but i want to start a bussines with ur recipies love all the way from South Africa 😊😊
I love ❤️ ALL of all your videos- ALL. I’m learning, you’re informative, creative and inspiring. I’ve been experimenting with all sorts of creativity endeavors and NOW Body Butters. Thank You!

Babassu is an excellent replacement for coconut oil. Very similar properties. Thanks for sharing. I love watching your videos 💕

Thanks so much for watching💕
If you don’t have Babassu you can use lard . That’s what they used years ago before these other beautiful oils where used.
Thank you for such a great video. I’m looking forward to making your body butter. The only question I have is do you have keep putting the butter in the fridge?
No, I just like to speed things along. If you have a cool work area, it'll firm up.
Babassu oil is a great coconut oil replacement
Now came across your video, thanks for showing me in ounces, i can't understand the SoapCalc.

Nice blend. I use cornstarch. It does the same as arrowroot.
Thank you for this video Ellen, you are Amazing! I have to try this recipe… I love your piping skills cuz you butters are lush Queen ❤👸🏽
Thank you so much!
No love “spell” even though I understand you may not be aware of this because of the history of divination.
Love the results, makes my skin baby soft! Thank you for sharing! I'm wondering if adding a little wax to the recipe would help it survive shipping in the warmer months.
Thanks 💗💕 the wax might be something to try a small test batch for on, and see how it effects the feel…

It might make things go a bit faster....

Would a stick blender work well with this project?
I don’t think you can achieve the whip with a stick blender.
I can't wait to try this recipe for sure! I am not computer savvy either and that is always my struggle too!!!!
It’s good to know I’m not alone on the struggle bus🤣 Enjoy the recipe.
When you shrink wrap, does it melt the product?
No, you don't need to hold the heat gun on it that long..
This is by far my favorite smell! Thank you for making this video ☺️
My pleasure 😊
I’m trying this today. Currently sitting waiting for the oils to solidify. And I just think 🤔 you’re kinda like the Betty Crocker of soap making. Someone should interview you and talk about the life of a soaper business owner 😊
Approx how many 4oz jars does this make?
It depends on how much you whip it, but you can divide the total by 4 to get an approx.
Miss Ellen, how do you "beat the heat" when shipping heat sensitive products?
When I sold retail, I would not sell straight body butters in the hot months. I make an emulsified body butter that is great for shipping year round.
I LOVE your emulsified body butter recipe!!!
Thanks for answering so quickly.
Ellen your skin is so beautiful. Do you use this on your face at all?
oh, thank you🥰 I do use this on my face and body, it makes a really nice rich night cream.
If you use a scent with vanillian in it will it change the color like it does in soap?
It can beige it up a bit, but I haven’t had any major color morph.
Great video!
How much of a batch the ingredients makes you did not and the batch size of the recipe also I have learned alot about making cosmetic products from you you are one of my favorites
Thanks so much
Thank you so much for all your videos Ellen, son much information, a great learning source.
You are so welcome!💗
Made this today and I love it!! Thank you for a fantastic recipe.
Does this need a preservative? Also, will fragrances with vanillan in it discolor the body butter?
Vanillin can discolor lotions, but not as drastic as in soap.. This formula does not require a preservative because it doesn't have a water phase. That being said, I do suggest using one if you're selling the product.

Thanks! I don't think calamine would be a good sub, because it would sit on top of the skin and leave a "color" behind. It would make a good salve or lotion for irritated spots, but probably not an all over butter... I haven't tried it, those are just my initial thoughts.
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you for getting back to me so fast. I really appreciate and trust you opinion. I will stick with the arrowroot. 🥰
@@janetcaird6807my son and nephew has eczema and Ellen's formulation should be fine for your daughter in law, given she does not have any sensitivity to any of the ingredients.
The key I found with my son is to put it on right after you take a shower. When his skin is irritated, it is best to apply multiple times a day.
My nephew who is in his early twenties does not like body butters. Even with arrowroot, he says it's still too greasy for him. Instead, he likes a thick cream type lotion (water based emulsion) where it does not leave an oily feel. Maybe, also give Ellen's thick lotion recipe a try? I found, even with my son, water based lotion really help because their skin is already dry so some type of humectant really helps. I formulate with 10% glycerin and add aloe.
Good luck finding something for your daughter in law.
Can you make a video of how to make whipped body butter using only shea butter that’s the only butter that I have. Do I have to have mango butter and coco butter also?
where did you get the lovespell fragrance?
It’s in the video intro😉
@@EllenRuthSoap i see now...thanks:) How much do you sell these for?
I will try this recipe soon! Thank you so much for sharing it! ❤️
Hope you like it!💕
How do you sanitize the piping bags? So worried about bacteria on things I sell.
I don't sanitize them, I just use a brand new one each time I make a batch.
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you. I get so nervous about my stuff going bad
Can this be made fragrance free?? Would the light oils need to compensate for the lack of fragrance oil??
You can just leave out the fragrance, you don't need to adjust the other oils👍
Thanks!!
Can I use a rose parfum instead of the love spell?
Most parfum's are not for making bath and body products. I suggest using a good rose fragrance from a good supplier.
Ellen your the best everything you do is awesome thanks for sharing keep up the awesome great work

I’m confused. You said 4 tblsp of Arrowroot but you used 2
The scoop I'm using is a 2 tbls scoop, so it was 4 total😉

Does the heat gun melt the soap inside
No, you don't need to hold the heat gun on it that long to shrink wrap.
You speak so nice & kindly.
Thank you🥰
