    I just made this recipe. I forgot to weigh my water after 5 minutes🤯 daughters kept texting. 🤭 Oh well. It was thick so l had to boil more water to add so l gustomated a bit more optiphen🤷‍♀️
    Still wasn't as liquidity as yours but it's not for sale so family will enjoy it to the bottom of the bottles😂😂😂
    Will say after getting it in bottles and rubbing in the remnants on my hands and arms I'm SO sold on it. Love, love it. 💞💞💞 you're so appreciated l don't think you'll ever know the amount of us that need such an angel as you.😇

    Ellen I hope you can understand that you just don’t make stuff not that that isn’t huge already because it Is. But what you are so beautifully gifted with is teaching and encouraging. You help those of us when we feel down or feel like we just want to throw in the towel so to speak. May God continue to bless and prosper you in this incredible ministry that you have. In Jesus name!!

    I made this recipe, but I didn't have enough of the ewax so I combined...it turned out like a silicone glove lotion but without the stickiness and it soaked into the skin...the prrrroooobbbllem was that it was so thick, it wouldn't come out of the bottle...so it is in a straight-sided jar now. Today, I am going to follow the recipe to a 'T' today. Thank you, Ellen Ruth for the wonderful recipe...those guinea piglet customers that tried this love, love, loved it!

    I had to stop and offer a note of gratitude. It hadn't even occured to me that it's already been a whole year since I last made anything new, something I don't already have the recipe memorized for. Then it dawned on me that the last thing I made was a recipe you shared. Now here I am, twelve months and 2,500 miles later (long story) and finally able to get creative again. It's been a long year. Just wanted to let you know how special your channel is, how gifted a teacher you really are, and how gracious it is of you to share your wisdom so freely with all of us. What a wonderful human being you are. Your channel has offered my weary heart a familiar place of refuge, of respite and comfort that I didn't even know I was looking for. Thank you sister. I'll keep you posted on the recipe but I'm sure it'll turn out great. May the Most High bless you and keep you, always.

    Good afternoon from Tasmania Ellen
    I made a batch of your lotion using essential oil my combo Rose Geranium, Frankincense and Patchouli using recommended amounts. I started nice and early and when the postman came with a package he commented on the wonderful smell in my kitchen (where I work) I had just bottle/jar it. He went away very happily with some soaps as I have so many needing to be used.
    Anyway back to lotion mine seemed a little thicker not quite pourable but luscious creamy so popped into piping back as my small glass pump bottles had smallish neck this worked a treat and spooned into jars. Just tried and it does pump ok the lotion is gorgeous on the skin leaving a lovely silky feeling. So once again Ellen thank you one more Christmas gift ready for family/friends. I also made a face serum last night just enough for me to trial it’s good too.

    You literally read my mind about a pump able body lotion! Last week, I looked through all your videos to see if you had a more liquid body lotion recipe and couldn't find anything. I have made your indulgent body butter last year and love the recipe!! This year, I am making gift boxes for my BFF's co workers, and want to make a body lotion they can pump. Just in time, you came out with this video and I truly appreciate it:) Thank you.

    Hi Ellen! This lotion changed my life. It completely changed the texture of my aging hands. I made it once with the cocoa butter cashmere scent and loved it and then I made a batch to put in a large pump bottle like you did and used the Bramble Berry Cherry Blossom scent. Soooooo good. This scent rices in cp but so lovely and light even at the strongest usage rate for lotion. My husband loves this lotion as well because it soaks in so well. 10 star rating from us for the lotion and you!❤❤❤

    Your recipe is Amazing… however, mine was too thick for the pump. I had to add so much more water to thin it out enough to work for me.
    Thanks Ruth!

    Hi i just love your bubbly energy, you're such a wonderful teacher i love watching and learning from you. I am now starting to do lotions and was wondering if i can incorporate seamoss into this recipe? If so how much is a safe amount and will the optiphen be the recommended preservative? I look forward to your response 😊 thank you very much.

    Hi. Im new to all of this. Im about to make my first soapand just starting out with m and p soap first. I do want to make body lotions and butters as well. My question is what do you think is easier to make, soap or lotion? Im feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the videos Ive been watching and want to start off with something to ease myself into this so I dont get discouraged. I love all of your videos. You have such a calming and sweet demeanor and its wonderful of you to share all your tutorials with us.

    Hi Ellen- i love your channel. I have a question- I made this recipe with 5% FO (the IFRA 5a is unlimited). I can hardly smell it. Does it take a week or two to cure to get a good, scent? With body oils, for example, I do notice the scent gets stronger after 2 weeks. If that's not the case and I need more FO, what is the maximum fragrance load you would go with if you wanted a strong scent with a FO that allows for an unlimited amount? Thank you so much for your time. ❤

    • @EllenRuthSoap

    I am going to try your recipe, Ellen! I've been making lotion (friends & fam) for many years and all my recipes incorporate the oils to water while both are still hot, and too many times, the oil and liquid separate, ruining my lotion. So, watching your video blew my mind.Really, I didn't know you could add the liquid ingredients after oils cooled and still get good incorporation. What temperature do you cool down to? Thank you thank you!!! I will let you know how it turns out. Will be making lotion for Christmas presents. Have you ever put beeswax in your lotion? I always do and love it but will leave it out first time trying your recipe.🧴🧴

    • @mynaturalme1999
      @mynaturalme1999 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's separating because you use beeswax. Beeswax and emulsifing wax is 2 different things. Emulsifing wax holds oil and water together. Beeswax will eventually separate. Some people also add Cetyl alcohol or stearic acid as a co- emulsifier to help.

    • @EllenRuthSoap

      Each oil and butter that you buy to make with will have an expiration date and instructions on how to care for the product, like keep away from sun or refrigerate... When making a lip balm or other product, try to use fresh ingredients, then I recommend using within 1-2 years of making.
