Thank you so much for your time and educational knowledge of the product. I am a home based small business and trial and error has been my best friend. I tried this last night and I am amazed. I think i over poured the emulsifier because I am a little think but I did test the pumps and it finally came out.
I want to say how much I enjoy your videos. I am definitely going to try this. I’ve only done solid lotions before.
Yay! Thank you!❣️

I'm just on my way to making this lotion with my magnesium oil! My little bath company makes Epson & Dead Sea Salt based products! My customers absolutely love your thick and luxerious Lavender & Vanilla cream. I'm so excited to offer them a pumpable version!
Lotion is so much fun to make. I love your recipe. So nice and creamy. Thank you for sharing.😊
Thanks 🥰❣️

I am from Nigeria just ordered my Body Butter and Body Scrub materials to start my business using almost 80-90% of your recipe. Thanks for your time, energy, knowledge.......
Love from Nigeria😍😍😍
Hi! Thank you for sharing! This looks like an amazing recipe to try! I have heard good reviews about the fragrance, I’m gonna have to buy this fragrance!
It's a lovely fragrance❣️
Wouah j’adore, comme tout ce que vous faites, je vais essayer de reproduire votre recette et peut-être bien rajouter à mon petit panier de cadeau avec mes savons pour mes amies et famille , je vous souhaite de tés joyeuses fêtes 😊
This would be a fabulous addition to a gift basket🎄❣️
I'm also going to try to make this in some of my "masculine" scents to have ready for my "Spather's Day" sale!
OMG!!! Heaven scent!!!! I was wondering how you figure out the fragrance. Can you make a video explaining all the presevatives?
I my gosh, cocoa butter and cashmere is so wonderful! I make it for winter too, it’s such a warm beautiful scent.
It's so good!❣️
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!
Nice
Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Cheers & Blessings 💕
Thank you, we did have a wonderful day. Hope yours was good too❣️
Nice! I as well have a cashmere scent from Bramble Berry. It’s my best seller for my whipped fresh goats milk lotions🥰
Oooo, I haven't tried their version yet but I bet it's great❣️
@@EllenRuthSoap
It’s wonderful 🥰 I named my products I make with it Cozy Sweater. It’s such a warm scent
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.
Yay! This will make wonderful gifts for your people❣️
Came right on time! Just this morning I was looking for a pumpable lotion recipe. My husband doesn't like thick lotions, or any lotion he has to twist open. He just wants to pump, apply any go. I'll get started tomorrow morning on this recipe. Thank you!
Great timing! Enjoy❣️
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.
Thank you so much for your sweet words of encouragement🥰 Have fun making❣️
Ellen Ive always used a calculator to work out. Percentages of my oil not knowing the Google fast way…..Thank you
Ive made the body butters but i think i prefer lotion so will enjoy trying this out to make a decent comparison on my skin.
So thank you too for such a good tutorial
Thanks! Hope you love the recipe❣️
My stick blender has a whisk attachment. I don't use it for B&B, but yesterday, I was making a Chocolate Pie and a Lemon Pie and I used the whisk attachment to smooth the filling before pouring.
Perfect!❣️
This is an amazing recipe. It more of cream to me. Mine was thick and whippy. Definitely absorbs quickly on the skin. I think I will reduce the emulsify wax and oils to 2 ounces each. I would like it to be more thinner 😊
You’re the best
🥰Thanks
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!❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing!! I'm so glad you're loving the lotion❣️
O. MY. Just made this. I’ve been without this and living in Arizona where the dryness sucks all the moisture out of your skin. I thank you !! although late for me coming to your party , it’s better than never. 🎉
Ty for recipe. Loved the video. Question when you were pouring into jars were there little lumps of cream, I could be wrong.
The clumps were just bits of cooled lotion, I could have blended them out more..
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.
Yay for happy post-people! I wouldn't have a business without them❣️ So glad you enjoyed the recipe🎄
Hi Ellen! How do you get fragrance smells out of your silicone liners? Thank you SO much for all you do and share! You have been an inspiration and mentor to me as I mature in my soaping journey ♥️
I just wash with warm soapy water, but if that doesn't cut it you could try a mild vinegar solution to rinse with.
@@EllenRuthSoap thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing Ellen ❤️. I write down the recipes and most of them come from your channel. You explain everything so well and you are just adorable. I will make this recipe asap. May I ask what measurements are the labels? Love your channel!
Thanks so much for watching🥰. The labels are 1.5x5”
@@EllenRuthSoap 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.
Welcome to the world of making, you'll love it once you dive in. I think lotion is easier than CP soap😉
Hey beautiful Ellen...I just made your awesome lotion ❤️ There is some condensation in the top of the bottles. Should I wait for it all to evaporate before I put the pumps on? I used Water Lily Fresh Mint from Nature's Garden. I also have a soap in this scent. A great Christmas gift pairing. Thank you for all your awesomeness.😍
Glad you gave it a try❣️ yes, be sure to wait intel it’s fully cooled before putting the lids on😉
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.
I know you can use sea moss in lotions, but I haven't worked with it yet so I'm not sure... Maybe a future video😉
I appreciate your time and effort making these tutorials for us 😊
My pleasure 😊
I made this recipe yesterday and gave some to my mom and mother in law to give me their opinions. I made some changes to the oils used but they LOVED IT!!!!. Now I just have to try and find some bottles. Thanks so much for sharing your talent. You are definitely my favorite soaper and body care product source of inspiration. I can't wait to watch your videos for 2023.
Wonderful! So glad they loved it!💕
@@EllenRuthSoap good day love your video , thanks much. But can I use shea butter as well after it is melted along with the emulsifying wax
Thank you Ellen! I love your recipes and tutorials. Do you ever test the pH of your lotions? I've been reading about this,, especially for use with different preservatives. Would love your thoughts.
Thanks! I have done simple pH tests, but I do need to get a better tester... It's never a bad thing to check.
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you! I've tried your other lotions and body butters, and soaps, so this will be on my next project list too!
I know it’s really important to test ph when making shampoo 🧴! And hot process soap -test the ph to make sure it’s completely finished cooking.
Just examples.
Thank you very much! Do you measure the temperature with the gun before you add the preservative? I use optiphen+ and it says to wait 120° F or bellow. I find that my lotion becomes more thicker and not easy to pour in bottles after. How do you prevent that problem ? 🙏🏼
Yes, it does have to be fairly cool before adding the preservative... Stick blending helps keep it a bit more fluid...🥰
It was captivatin explained lotion really wonderful adages used how u made this lotion bye bye NICEE TO VIEW IT
I noticed as you were pouring that there were some small lumps. Is this going to cause a clogging problem with the pump? Is it just a matter of making sure we mix well with the stick blender?
Those are just cooler bits of the lotion, I could have stick blended longer for a smoother finish😉
Thank you for sharing! The fragrance sounds lovely! I’m going to venture into using fragrance oils…Are there any other fragrances from them you recommend
So many, they have a lot of great F.O.'s
Saw some clumps going into those bottles! Otherwise, a great recipe I would love to try sometime.
The clumps were cooled bits of lotion, I could have blended longer....
Wow! 4% fragrance load seems high for a lotion. I have always used 1% and that is strong for my scents. I like the addition of hemp, I bet it's really luxurious.
Yes, I’ve made it with much lower and it was great… I think it’s fragrant specific 😉❣️
Sorry for asking but where did you buy the stainless steel pot you are using for mixing, fell in love with it
It came with the stand mixer I got, from Amazon.
Hello. I love your videos and recipes. I was wondering with this recipe could I use 8oz water and 8oz of goat malk to equal out the amount of liquid I need. Thanks you for sharing
I don't recommend using liquid milks in lotions, the increase of preservative needed would be a lot...
Just made this recipe and even though it turned out a little thicker than I would have liked, it still pumps. This is a wonderful recipe and thank you so much for sharing it! I love your videos and enjoy watching you make things! I do have a question though... Is it possible to add color of some kind to it? My hemp seed oil is dark green and the lotion was not a pretty color (greenish). Any suggestions on adding color? (BTW, made a 2nd batch with different oils and color was much better but would still like to color it sometimes.). Thanks again!!
You can add skin safe mica to color your lotions👍
@@EllenRuthSoap Will that leave mica on your skin? Thank you, I’ll give it a try!! ❤️
it would be awesome if you teach us a body mist / body spray recipe like the ones from VS! could you do this for us? loved your work. gained a subscriber. kisses from Brazil!
That's a great suggestion❣️ I'm going to go do some research...
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 fabuloso!!!!
Realmente maravilloso, Ruth mil gracias, estoy tan agradecida con Dios por haberla puesto en mi camino, solo el sabe cuando necesito de estos conocimientos para poder salir adelante a pesar de mi falta de entendimiento del idioma, pero pese a eso, vendita tecnología me tardo pero con la ayuda también de mis hijos hay voy jijijiji y a mis 60 no es fácil, pero tampoco imposible.
Ruth mil gracias por tu tiempo y tus conocimientos, gracias por compartir.
Dios te bendiga hoy y siempre este Body Lotion, se ve increíble, voy a estudiar lo que dices del % de las fragancia para hacer mejor las cosas,
Espero de corazón hayas tenido un Happy thanksgiving al lado de tus seres queridos.
Dios te bendiga 🥰💐❤️
🤭solo una preguntita este Body Lotion lo puede husar para todo tipo de piel y persona?
Hasta en el rostro y
Si no mal entendí hasta bebés pequeños?
Sorry, sorry por tanta molestia.
Gracias sra. Bella
Thank you! I hope you enjoy the recipe💕 This formula is great for both face and body (and babies), but reduce the fragrance for face and children.
@@EllenRuthSoap mil mil gracias, así lo are, tomate tus consejos para seguir adelante, Dios te bendiga, muchísimas gracias por tomarte tu tiempo para conmigo.
Gracias por contestarme 🥰
Happy day ☺️ esperó lo haya escrito bien 🤭
Grat multiple colors sprinkle in white colors soap
❤️hey so when you melt the emulsifier together with the oils how much heat is necessary for that process because i don’t want to overheat them?
There are so many veriables, I just watch it closely and wait for everything to be melted, not by temp...
Mine turned out so thick I could not get it into my Bottles but I love the feal Thanks for sharing
Can you use Optiphen in body spray?
I love watching your videos.
No, optiphen is'nt the best choice for a body spray, it's not very water soluble...
Can BTMS-50 be used in this recipe as an emulsifier?
If I wanted to make it thicker, so that it can be placed in a bottle without a pump, but a push top ( I forgot what they're called), how would I go about doing that?
I haven't tried this formula without E-wax, so I can't really speak to that. I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like the finish.
Thanks so much, I've been waiting for a liquid lotion recipe from you! I'm going to try it tomorrow. Is it okay to use essential oil instead of fragrance?
Great! Yes essential oil would be great in this, just double check the usage rate😉
Thank you for this! Can you use goat's milk instead of water? Will the preservative preserve the milk enough so it doesn't go bad? Thanks for any input!
I have not dabbled in milk lotions yet, so I can't really speak to that...
@ellenruthsoap have you had an issue with what looks like pockets of oil in the lotions? I've made this lotion, and it's wonderful. However, I've noticed what looks like oil pockets, or maybe it's something with the e-wax. I use the emulsifier blender. Any input?
Hmmm, that's an interesting question.. I'm thinking maybe the oils and wax weren't melted completely? Or perhaps your E-wax isn't good??
@EllenRuthSoap interesting thoughts. Everything was fully melted, and it's happened with different packages of e-wax. I'll just keep trying. Thank-you for taking the time to respond. =)
Do you know by chance if I could use the same recipe ( e wax ratio) for an olive based natural emulsifying wax ( olivem 1000)
I haven't worked with that wax, so I'm not sure. I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like the finish.
And I also had a question about when you are making the label for your lotions, what order should the ingredients be listed in on the back of your lotion bottle?
Typically on any label you put the ingredients in order of highest to lowest amounts..
Ellen, how to you figure out if you have enough preservative to cover ingredients, it’s quite a wide ratio for Optiphen, or is a bit of guess work ❤ I know you said that you tend to go half way but is that a guestamate or is there a calculation chart somewhere for each ingredient?
Most suppliers will have a % guide for different products, and it's usually a range...
Thank you I love watching your channel. how do you make it for Squeeze bottles
This formula would be great in a squeeze bottle😉
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you so much
