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. 🥰🇬🇧
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.
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 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
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 ❤️
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 💛🙏🏻
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. 😊
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.
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! ❤
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
I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos, I get so overwhelmed when I want to start something new. I have been wanting to make body butter for a while and am going to give this recipe a go. Your videos are always so calm and informative, helps someone that’s going to try something calm encouragement! I want to make goat milk lotion but I’m super nervous about that, so I’m going to start with this body butter!😊❤
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 😊
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 😄
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.
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!
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!
You are such an inspiration. Thanks so so much for sharing all these videos and tips. I so appreciate you. I've made the lip balm twice now and have all the supplies enroute to make some lotions next weekend for my birthday. Thank again,, you're the best! The preservative was such a good idea too. Take care. 😊
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.
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.
@@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!
i just whipped me up some of this body butter. its in the freeZEr and the ladies across the street just loved the rose scent and i will give them a sample. you rock girlfriend tyvm honestly you are a very kind lady ty again
Wish me luck...I think I messed it up. Last minute I decided to add some color to my Marshmallow Strawberry body budder.....it didnt seem to blend in....hopefully it does mix in once whipped. Also I used argan oil instead of grapeseed.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
You whipped body butter rebatch video 11 months ago, was wondering if you find this recipe melts during the summer ? Awesome recipe thank you for sharing.
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!
Jojoba Oil is a wax in a liquid form. Thank you Ellen your a sweetheart, I enjoy all your videos. They are very informative and intertaining and motivating.
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
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!
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
I love watching your videos, I've learned so much, it's wonderful. What is a good alternative to mango butter in this recipe? I have a daughter allergic to mangos. Thank you so much 🥰
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!
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?
Thank you for sharing. I am going to make this recipe for Christmas gifts for friends. I am new to your channel and am delighted with your videos, Merry Christmas to you and yours, have a great holiday season.
Ohhhh thank you Ellen! I am so looking forward to making this. I only have little metal tins, is it ok to store it in them? Thank you for sharing as always. ❤
Hi, Ellen. This is my very first time ever seeing, watching and responding to a video from you! I must say it was a pleasure browsing thru your comments and realizing that you answered 99.9% of all of them! It's very annoying and time consuming to watch, like, comment and possibly subscribe to an author that appears to ignore your question or comments! Just like it's time consuming to make a video and answer the same question a hundred times! With respect to you, I check comments to eliminate double answers. I was shocked to see that you answered so mant! With that in mind, I'm subscribing to you! Thank you! also with that in mind l do have a question! When substituting arrowroot powder with cornstarch, is the measurement (4 Tbsp) the same?
Id use Babassu oil to replace the Coconut oil. They are very similiar in texture and composition makeup. You can find it at most skin care suppliers. Wholesale Supply Plus, Soapers choice, etc. will carry it. I use Camillia seed oil, but it is expensive therefore it's a luxury product and I charge more for it. I also use Optiphen in my body butter. I yse Tochopheral MT-50 instead of Vitamin E, it is a true antioxidant that prorects those beautiful oils and butters at .5%. That's my advice.
Hi Ellen Thank you so much for sharing all your wealth of knowledge. I am from Australia so we use grams and conversions is somewhat here and there. Would you be able to share in percentages so that we can adjust easier ? Bless you 🥰

Babassu is an excellent replacement for coconut oil. Very similar properties. Thanks for sharing. I love watching your videos 💕
Thanks for the suggestion💕 you’re the second person to mention Babassu, now I’m going to have to try it😉
Yes, Babassu oil is it.
Yes I use babassu oil for several of my customers who have coconut sensitivity.
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.

Babassu oil is a great coconut oil replacement
Nice blend. I use cornstarch. It does the same as arrowroot.
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.

If you don’t have Babassu you can use lard . That’s what they used years ago before these other beautiful oils where used.
I’m so thrilled I found your channel.
Babassu is an excellent replacement for coconut oil and is largely used in organic cosmetic formulation over coconut oil.
Thank you so much for sharing that! I haven't worked with babassu yet, now I'm going to have to look into it💕

I use grapeseed oil in place of coconut oil...
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…
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.

Jojoba Oil is a wax in a liquid form.
Thank you Ellen your a sweetheart, I enjoy all your videos. They are very informative and intertaining and motivating.
Yes 👍 I was trying to think of that as I was talking, that's why it's not "greasy" feeling... Thanks for watching!
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
You can add your preservative to the cool down phase when it's under 120 degrees.
This is by far my favorite smell! Thank you for making this video ☺️

What is a good alternative to mango butter in this recipe? I have a daughter allergic to mangos. Thank you so much 🥰
Shea butter or Kokum butter would be a good sub, or any high quality butter you like.
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!
I hope you give it a try 💗

One of my goals this year is to make one like you have. It looks so nice. 😊
Thanks💕 It's been one of my biggest challenges..🤣
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.

Thank you so much!💗
Ellen do you have a chart that show you how much, preservative to use in all of your hand creams, lotion and other things you use water in?
No, each preservative can have different usage rates..

Thanks for sharing, So creamy and luxurious!😍 Tapioca starch works too😁 BTW, your labels look amazing!!

Fantastic 💗 thanks for sharing❣️

I like Kokum butter to switch out with the coconut oil once in a while
I've had Kokum butter on my "to buy" list for a while, now I'm going to get it!
I use Kokum butter to replace Coconut Oil
Thanks!!! Great recipe! I love to replace arrow root with colloïdal oatmeal.
Also, I love your music, it reminds african music 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Omg thank you! Im reading now all the comments, only to find the answers of 2 question i have😅

Babassu would be a great replacement to coconut oil. Feels wonderful and luxurious.😊
Thanks, I'm hearing that from several others too... I'm going to have to give it a try!
Love all of your videos, just beautiful.. I do wonder, what is the shelf life of this product?
If you're using fresh ingredients, I suggest using within a year of making.
you can up the mango butter. I also have used Lard and it has come out with a nice consistancy
👍💕
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.
Id use Babassu oil to replace the Coconut oil. They are very similiar in texture and composition makeup. You can find it at most skin care suppliers. Wholesale Supply Plus, Soapers choice, etc. will carry it. I use Camillia seed oil, but it is expensive therefore it's a luxury product and I charge more for it. I also use Optiphen in my body butter. I yse Tochopheral MT-50 instead of Vitamin E, it is a true antioxidant that prorects those beautiful oils and butters at .5%. That's my advice.
Thank you so much for sharing! Sounds like you've got great suggestions for luxury body butters💗
Hi Ellen
Thank you so much for sharing all your wealth of knowledge.
I am from Australia so we use grams and conversions is somewhat here and there.

Yes, as long as it's skin safe👍
