They're great for travel or in your bag, and they also make a great lip balm too 😘 #bodybutter #diy #homemadelotion #solidlotion #skinfood

    They look beautiful hun. I was just in the hospital with Covid pneumonia and I have congested heart failure. They didn’t think I was gonna make it. And here I am and I left the hospital 2 days early no less. They said I was a modern day miracle that they can’t explain. But while I was in the hospital scared and alone I watched ur videos and Holly’s, Katie’s, Karen’s, tiara’s and Tiggy’s video’s and it really calmed me and helped distract me. So thank u!

    I have to thank you, Ellen. I've been blessed with so many sales on my lotion bars because of your recipe. I've made little adjustments here and there but the base recipe has been a hit since day 1. Most of my customers have never seen a lotion bar and as soon as they try one they are hooked. I recently got my products in a locally made-only store and I am selling out of lotion bars weekly! I wouldn't have this level of success if it wasn't for your generosity in sharing these incredible recipes. Blessings to you and thank you again!!

    Thank you! I wanted to learn how to make my own after spending $45 on a solid moisturizer from Sephora. Applying moisturizer in this format is such a relaxing self-care ritual. I'll be mimicking the smell of the sephora one by using lavender and chamomile oils at first for the scent. The product I'm referring to is packaged in cheesecloth in a bamboo box to preserve it. I highly recommend the cheesecloth wrapping! It's a nice, inexpensive addition.

    As a flight attendant on ultra long haul flights, these lotion bars are a blessing! Since I don't have to worry about 100 ml liquid rule, it's really handy to carry around and moisturize dry hands. Highly recommended 🎉

    This turned out great! I combined your recipes from the rose butter recipe, and just used two butters since my cocoa butter was a bit hard, and included mango. Also arrowroot, which definitely makes a difference. Yumm! Thanks for the recipe. I purchased Mrs Clause Cookies from Natures Garden, and it smells delicious. ❤

    You are too adorable Ms. Ellen! I absolutely LOVVVVVE this video! I've been looking for another idea to add to my body products (as a newbie) to be able to offer a 3 item set. Now I can do a bar soap, a foaming liquid soap, and a lotion bar!!!! So excited to try this recipe! Will the colloidal oats help keep the lotion bar from feeling too greasy also? I only ask because I have colloidal oats but I don't have arrowroot powder and I was hoping to try this out this weekend. Thank you so much, as always, for such a wonderful and educational video! I LOVVVVVVE you and and your channel! (Saving to favorites to refer to later!) ❤

      🥰 Thank you so much! Yes, the colloidal oats will help a bit, I think the arrowroot does a better job of cutting the "greasy feel", but the oats have great skin benefits too...

    Made these today using calendula infused almond oil for my liquid and cocoa butter. Used Rosemary YL essential oil for fragrance. This is the best recipe I’ve ever tried. All others were too greasy! Thanks for the arrowroot idea. I have loads of clay for soap recipes, so I might try that as well❤❤

    I love making lotion bars! This is a wonderful recipe! I use Cupuacu Butter in mine, just half an ounce it's expensive and half an ounce of Murumuru Butter, Instead of the shea. Although I make a shea butter one as well. Sometimes I just feel like being extra, lol!

    Hi Ellen ,another great product you have shared with us thank you . Would you consider showing how to make a basic label i make bath & body products , mostly bath bombs for my family but would like to be able to label products as in even the name of the fragrance but cant seem to do it . If you could that would be amazing if not i totally understand you are very busy. Thanks for always inspiring me to try new things your such a delight to watch .

    Just found your channel and I absolutely love it! Wish I’d found it sooner! You’re so well spoken, soothing voice, and make it easy to follow along. I love all of your tips and advice as well… Thank you for sharing your talent! I was wondering if you ever add extracts to your lotion bars? I use Aloe Extract in all of mine. I hadn’t thought about the addition of Vit E which would help with shelf life! Also wondering if you have a good lotion bar recipe for someone with eczema? I looked for a video and couldn’t find one on your channel. I’m thinking the addition of colloidal oatmeal to this recipe would be a good one to try. Would I use that in place of the Arrowroot? Thank You!

    I first tried your recipe about a year and a half ago and loved it immediately! I changed it a bit and added it to my range three months ago - my customers love the solid lotion! A free interpretation of your recipe has conquered Germany, so to speak 😁. But the funniest thing is - just now my daughter's boyfriend (he's in the Army) sent his grandma a lotion to Michigan 😁 along with soaps he made for her himself 😍.
