I'm new to soap making and would like to let you know how much I appreciate and love all your videos. You have so much enthusiasm and joy that it is infectious. Keep making these fun and inspiring videos. Blessed be!
Love your commitment to using natural wholesome “foodie” ingredients. You’ve definitely found your niche Ellen! Enjoying your channel AND your soaps so much!
@@EllenRuthSoap oh Helen I made an unscented one with aloe Vera and cucumber using a basic Bastille soap recipe, not my regular one and the lather and bubbles are just incredible, I have a video on my IG , if you want to check it out @cliviascreations, thanks
Oh I love those green colours in that soap! I don’t have green micas but I do have some organic aloe and pawpaw powders that have similar tones. I’ll try them! Thanks for your wonderful videos they’re so fun to watch and learn from, and great inspiration! Cheers mike
Lovely! I made an avocado soap 2 weeks ago with Avobath fragrance from WSP. They smell wonderful, and I can't wait till they're done curing so I can try! Your soaps are always so pretty, and you are my favorite soaper to watch!
I love this soap and how it did very much look like an avocado and its pit when first cut! When you first mentioned that you didn't notice the cilantro notes in the fragrance, my first thought was. I wonder if Ellen knows that for some people, cilantro tastes like soap!
Can’t wait to try that. I’m currently saving up to buy a soap cutter from him myself. Can’t wait. Already know what color I want. Thanks again for the info. Soap turned out great as always.
Always fascinating watching. Your color selection is perfect every time. New to soaping, and do it as a hobby. What percentage water discount? Thank you for showing us how it is done. Much respect.
Wow! All your soaps are always so beautiful and this is absolutely gorgeous!! I haven't added food yet to my soaps but you are motivating me to just do it! Thank you for taking the extra time to share your process 😊 ~jc
I will definitely try adding avocado to my next bar...love your idea. Definitely concur with Luna Fae Creations, going to go buy avocados and make some guacamole!
Lovely, as always! 💕 It looks wonderful. 🌟 You are such an inspiration. You always make me want to try things...my husband went to the store, and I just sent a text asking him to pickup some 🥑🥑🥑🤦♀️😉😆🤗
Hi Ellen! Your ideas are just fantastic! Thanks for this video. I have a question: do you think watermelon can be used in soap too like the avocados? If yes, would you put it in the water lye solution or with the oils? Thanks in advance. ❤️
Perfect as always! Love the swirls. Just curious, if you were to do a small batch of soap...how much avocado 🥑 would you need to add. I'm sure there is a such thing as to much. Haha. I would love to try this. I'm extremely new to this so be kinda. Haha (which I know you would be. Thats your natural.)I have only 3 batches under my belt.
@@EllenRuthSoap You are on the ball. What a fast response. Thank you so much. I will definitely try this now. Thanks for the help my friend. Greatly appreciate it.
I am very new to soap making, and I love watching your videos. In a past video, (2019 I think) you mentioned being at the Farmers Market in Nashville. Do you still set up a booth there?
Next time use black Hawaiian lava salt. That would be gorgeous together with the green. I do a 50% water discount. I never get ash never have to cover or insulate my soap’s they gel on their own with no problem. I love it and ur soap’s are gorgeous!
Did you use just aloe vera juice or do a 50/50 split with distilled water.? Is it ok to use just the aloe vera juice.? I really want to use aloe vera juice in my soap but am nervous of doing it 😆
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you so much for your help Ellen, I just need to get my brave pants on and give it a try, i have my avocado ripening and waiting for the avocado oil to come 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑
They remind me of camouflage gear. Great men’s soap too 😊 coincidental that you’re making this soap with your husband in mind in regards to the scent. Also, wasn’t he in the military? 🤔
You subract the volume of puree from the water used to mix with the lye (making sure you have enough water to mix properly with lye, at a rate of 50/50 or more)
@@EllenRuthSoap hello Ellen, do you weigh the avocado purée to get the volume? Does the lye amount stay the same as in the soap cal? Only the water is discounted?
So crazy! We are on the same wavelength today! I just created a recipe for avocado soap about 1 hour ago and then I see this! Looking forward to watching! (@seraphimsoaps)
The colors remind me of military camouflage gear. You make the best soap. I love watching your videos.
I can see the camouflage colors 🤣🥑

Thank you so much! My husband loves it too!
I love this soap and how it did very much look like an avocado and its pit when first cut!
When you first mentioned that you didn't notice the cilantro notes in the fragrance, my first thought was. I wonder if Ellen knows that for some people, cilantro tastes like soap!
That’s so funny 🤣 I do remember hearing that about cilantro 😂
Can’t wait to try that. I’m currently saving up to buy a soap cutter from him myself. Can’t wait. Already know what color I want. Thanks again for the info. Soap turned out great as always.
🥰🥑 you'll love the cutter, what color are you getting?
@@EllenRuthSoap I plan on getting a lavender one. Almost in the same family as your teal one.
I always want to make avocado soap, thats beautiful soap. I like it the colour how its comes together.
It's so good!🥑
Lovely soap. I love avocados in soap! This one looks so luxurious!
Thanks!🥑
Always fascinating watching. Your color selection is perfect every time.
New to soaping, and do it as a hobby.
What percentage water discount?
Thank you for showing us how it is done.
Much respect.
Thank you so much🥑 I usually do a 25% water discount
This is cool and it looks like camouflage for sure lol! I have to try some Avocado in my soap and beer too lol!! Thanks Ellen 😊.
Thanks🥑. You'll love the avocado!
I just used this last night! It smells amazing!! I def pick up a tang! Its a beautiful bar!!

I live the pop of pink from the salt against the green
Thanks!
Lovely, as always! 💕

You are such an inspiration. You always make me want to try things...my husband went to the store, and I just sent a text asking him to pickup some 🥑🥑🥑🤦♀️😉😆🤗
🥰 thank you 💕 have fun soaping 🥑
These turned out great! I love the different shades of green.
Thanks 🥑
I'm curious about the feeling of using the avocado soap.. The color is also pretty~~
It's a very creamy lather 🥑
Hi Ellen! Your ideas are just fantastic! Thanks for this video. I have a question: do you think watermelon can be used in soap too like the avocados? If yes, would you put it in the water lye solution or with the oils? Thanks in advance. ❤️
I've never tried watermelon, so I can't really speak to that..
Subcribed! You are my inspiration ❣️
Thanks so much for watching 🥰🥑
@@EllenRuthSoap with the use of fresh avocado, won’t the soap get mold? I only use the refined avocado oil.
These are beautifuly elegant. I don’t know if that makes sense. LOL 😂 I’m working on my first cup of coffee ☕️
Thank you 🥰🥑
Perfect for cinco de Mayo. Gonna go make me some guacamole now
Yum!🥑
Perfect as always! Love the swirls. Just curious, if you were to do a small batch of soap...how much avocado 🥑 would you need to add. I'm sure there is a such thing as to much. Haha. I would love to try this. I'm extremely new to this so be kinda. Haha (which I know you would be. Thats your natural.)I have only 3 batches under my belt.
Thanks! For a small batch, you could start with 2-4 oz of puree
@@EllenRuthSoap You are on the ball. What a fast response. Thank you so much. I will definitely try this now. Thanks for the help my friend. Greatly appreciate it.
Does the eucalyptus powder add much texture to the finished soap? As usual, another great looking soap.
Thanks 💕 it adds just the tiniest bit of exfoliating
I am very new to soap making, and I love watching your videos. In a past video, (2019 I think) you mentioned being at the Farmers Market in Nashville. Do you still set up a booth there?
No, I don't do the Farmer's Markets anymore, but they were so fun!
This look so AWESOME! , I just had one question though, doesn't the raw avocado cause the soap to perish faster? How long is the shelf life?
Thanks 😊 the CP process preserves the “fruit” or additives, and they last very well✨
Next time use black Hawaiian lava salt. That would be gorgeous together with the green. I do a 50% water discount. I never get ash never have to cover or insulate my soap’s they gel on their own with no problem. I love it and ur soap’s are gorgeous!
Love the black salt idea!!!
Beautiful..... What water lye percentage did u use
Thanks! I usually do a 25%
you must be Italian; lol as your hands are in the front of the camera constantly, love you Ellen
🤣I realize I talk "with my hands" a lot!
@@EllenRuthSoap lol you’re so beautiful thank you for your videos love🌺
Did you use just aloe vera juice or do a 50/50 split with distilled water.? Is it ok to use just the aloe vera juice.? I really want to use aloe vera juice in my soap but am nervous of doing it 😆
I've done both full aloe juice and a 50/50 split, they both came out really nice.
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you so much for your help Ellen, I just need to get my brave pants on and give it a try, i have my avocado ripening and waiting for the avocado oil to come 🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑
They remind me of camouflage gear. Great men’s soap too 😊 coincidental that you’re making this soap with your husband in mind in regards to the scent. Also, wasn’t he in the military? 🤔
Yes, he’s a retired Marine💕
I’m new at this, wish I knew how to discount when adding this avocado purée
You subract the volume of puree from the water used to mix with the lye (making sure you have enough water to mix properly with lye, at a rate of 50/50 or more)
@@EllenRuthSoap hello Ellen, do you weigh the avocado purée to get the volume? Does the lye amount stay the same as in the soap cal? Only the water is discounted?
Would you mind sharing what percentage of avocado oil you used please.? Apologies for all the questions.
This recipe has 10% Avocado oil😉
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you 🙂
It is a apt soap for the husband man, Ellen. It looks like soldiers’ camouflage, don’t u think?
🤣 I can see the camo for sure🥑
Good morning Ellen i love your soap
🍃♥️🍃♥️
🥰🥑
So crazy! We are on the same wavelength today! I just created a recipe for avocado soap about 1 hour ago and then I see this! Looking forward to watching! (@seraphimsoaps)
Great minds think alike 🥰🥑
What do you think of a soap that has a bergamot dill and peppermint? 😮 😅😂
Yikes🤣
Would love to know your favorite recipe 😍
I may make it available in the future. This video has 4 good recipes that I like: th-cam.com/video/SO5n4uWEVO0/w-d-xo.html
