Just watched about 5 pink salt soap recipes on TH-cam channel from different makers, like them all! Now onto soaping! I enjoy watching all of you SO much and am doing this as a hobby and very small start of local selling. Going to call my soaps “Soaperior Suds” and it is a blast. Am a nurse forever and still working at that, but in the last six months watching TH-cam and all of you, have taught myself this wonderful hobby. Like the I dream in soap lady, I think about soaping constantly. LOVE IT. Thank you Ellen!
Love this recipe! I made two batches - one with sea salt and lime essential oil - I call them margarita bars. The other was with blood orange essential oil and the pink Himalayan salt. So pretty! Thank you for sharing so much with all of us.
I absolutely love watching your channel and love that you share your recipes and knowledge. I am new to all this and really want to learn more. It all started with trying to remove plastic from our home and less chemicals. I’m going to lose my job soon so I am hoping this can possibly turn into a small business. You are a great inspiration and now a part of my daily routine. Always look forward to your videos. Thank you so much
Ellen, you are such a joyful inspiration… I am a budding soap maker and I learn so much from your videos. I cannot thank you enough. You have become a part of my regular morning routine. Your positive and caring vibe really helps get my day off to a positive start ❤️ Bless you 💕
Now I’m torn on which recipe to try! This one sounds extra moisturizing but kinda want to try the first recipe. Lol. Dilemmas. Thank you for a lovely video and sharing your delightful recipes.
The sunshine yellow really morphed to a pretty peach, then back to yellow, so funny. They beautiful bars of soap! I'm looking forward to trying the recipe
Made a batch last weekend, missed adding castor oil before I put it into the molds. So I dumped everything back into my mixing bowl and stirred in an ounce or so - it was already pretty thick so I didn't want to risk getting the full 3 ounces incorporated (my thinking was that the superfat would cover the little bit less of the castor oil). Back into the mold it went. Tested a bar just now, no zappiness, and it is still plenty sudsy even with less castor oil. Scented with Love Spell, so nice!! This batch will be all for me since I made mistakes, but I am looking forward to another batch and getting it right this time. 😅 As always, I soooooo appreciate your guidance and your recipes! 💞
I'm thinking you could probably do a small batch of soap for the seeds part. Let it thicken up good before pouring the main batch. I'll try this recipe soon. Thanks for sharing.
Ellen Ruth, Your skin is beautiful. Would you consider making a video about your facial skin routine and showing the makeup you use? Thank you in advance "Be Blessed"
Hi from Sydney, Australia. They look wonderful. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I made it today. Violet and lilac sea salt bars. Can't wait to use them.
I make melt and pour soap only, but I like your channel. You explain everything so nice. Thank you! I make soap with himalayan soap, pink clay and coconut oil.
Hands down, salt soap is my absolute favourite soap of all!! It fixes all ailments on my skin, I feel so clean washing with it and absolutely not drying!! I actually add sodium lactate to my mixture. I found that the soap mixture breaks off at the edges in a mold if I don't add some, so I add it to be sure the soap firms up without being salt brittle if that makes any sense. One trick I did was to paint colour in the molds using coloured melt and pour soap! Believe it or not, it works great and sticks to the soap without smearing or moving the colour!! Mix a little mica in alcohol and then add a little of that to melt and pour soap, then use that as paint. You will probably need to microwave a few times for a few seconds to keep it fluid but it totally works great!! 😉
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I've had a batch of salt bars that didn't turn out as expected ( I left it in its loaf mold for ONE hour and it was rock hard LOL) So I have not tried making a salt bar again, but I think after watching your video I am going to give individual molds a try! I love all your videos btw! Such an inspiration for other makers just starting out!!
I wonder if instead of using a carrier oil for the seeds, a bit of alcohol/vodka like you can with certain when painting. It might stop the slippage. The bars are beautiful 🌻🌻
These are wonderful. You always make such beautiful products. I started laughing when you said summer sunshine. lol...I have 6 children...well I just lost my 35 yr old baby boy 😢 but I have 3 girls and 3 boys. I have always said if I was able to have more children and I had another girl I would name her Summer Sunshine 😊. Children are truly a gift from God and mine have always been my sunshine because I have lived a very hard life.. God bless
@Catherine Engle May your son rest in the Light of God's love. I completely agree about children. Bless your kind heart and happy (early) Mother's Day!💝🌷
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you Ellen for your kindness. Since I can't have anymore babies.. I am thinking about getting me two mini weenies and calling one summer and the other sunshine. 😊 God bless
I love your recipes. I made these back in February using a Cactus and Sea Salt fragrance and they turned out amazing. My batter gets really thick fast every time I make them. You mentioned putting cane sugar in your lye solution - how much did you use?
Thanks for another great video and recipe! The bars are cute - love the molds. I'm wondering, do the salt grains stay pink, or does saponification turn them brown? I couldn't tell on the video. Thanks.
Hi Ellen, we made the recipe in a sunflower mold. The first time we used med Himalayan salt. Beautiful soap! Big foamy bubbles. Then we used the fine salt, same big bubbles. But the soap has a whitish covering on the bottom of the sunflower. It just washes off, but is there some way to prevent this? PS Your bars are BEAUTIFUL!
Hello Ms. Ellen. I've been meaning to try to make a himalayan salt soap,with menthol crystals in the oils. But,I don't want it to dry out the skin so much. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Hi Ellen, I would like to use your recipe here, but, I don't want this big of batch lol! If I wanted a 2 lb batch, what would the percentage of the ingredients be?
Holy cow, the yellow just morphed in front of my eyes! They turned out beautiful and look heavy. I’m just curious to know what brand is your immersion blender? I’m loving the yellow.

Love the sound of your scent choices!
How well did it suds? And was it drying on your skin? Was this good for a body soap or just simply a hand soap?

Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! You’re very kind. Love your videos!
You are so welcome!
I think it looks natural. I'm sure it will wash off the first time it's used. Very pretty soap
Can’t wait to make them. I’m so excited. You’re so wonderful Ellen. I love watching your videos.
Thanks so much 😊
Ellen they look pretty 😍
Hi from Florida! They turned out really pretty…seeds and all!
Thanks so much!🥰

Thank you, you’re too kind… I’m pretty simple with skincare 😉

Glad you gave it a try! Love your combo!
The turned out really CUTE! And I think they look more natural too. Thanks for the recipe.

One of my favourite soaps to make, Ellen. I make Himalayan Salt and Lavender Ess Oil. It feels amazing on the skin.
What a wild color morph!
It so long to bounce back🤣
They look wonderful 😍 I'd love to make them
I love salt bars! Beautiful 🌻

Thanks for the MP tip, great idea!
That’s exactly what I do for the seeds.

Thanks 🥰. The cavity molds are so easy.
Very pretty soap Ellen,thank you for sharing the recipe they look so cute 😍 x
When I made mine I use poppy seeds to fill the middle they came out so cute
What a great idea!
I wonder if instead of using a carrier oil for the seeds, a bit of alcohol/vodka like you can with certain when painting. It might stop the slippage.
The bars are beautiful 🌻🌻
That's a great idea!

I'm so sorry for your loss, that's heartbreaking💔. But you're right, children are such a blessing! I love the name Summer Sunshine for a girl❣️
@@luludi3 Thank you and yes I know my son is surrounded by all my family and surrounded in love with them and Jesus. God bless
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you Ellen for your kindness. Since I can't have anymore babies.. I am thinking about getting me two mini weenies and calling one summer and the other sunshine. 😊 God bless
@@catherineengle4196 yes he is🙏💖 thank you too!
Can’t wait to try it. Love them
💕❣️
Can't wait to try . Thank you for recipe. And they turned out cute.
Thanks 💕
You could try painting the seeds with colored melt & pour and let it dry before you pour. I wonder if that would work?
MP is a great idea! Thanks!
I love your recipes. I made these back in February using a Cactus and Sea Salt fragrance and they turned out amazing. My batter gets really thick fast every time I make them. You mentioned putting cane sugar in your lye solution - how much did you use?
I use approx. 1tsp sugar per lb of oils, or a bit less
Thanks for another great video and recipe! The bars are cute - love the molds. I'm wondering, do the salt grains stay pink, or does saponification turn them brown? I couldn't tell on the video. Thanks.
Thanks! They stay in the "pink" range..
@@EllenRuthSoap Thanks for your reply.
next time can you make master batch of Himalayan Pink Salt SPA SOAP
Hi Ellen, we made the recipe in a sunflower mold. The first time we used med Himalayan salt. Beautiful soap! Big foamy bubbles. Then we used the fine salt, same big bubbles. But the soap has a whitish covering on the bottom of the sunflower. It just washes off, but is there some way to prevent this? PS Your bars are BEAUTIFUL!
Sounds like soda ash, it's totally fine.... You can try spritzing with rubbing alcohol when they are setting up.
Still beautiful. How do wrap those?
I shrink wrap with a circle label
Hello Ms. Ellen.
I've been meaning to try to make a himalayan salt soap,with menthol crystals in the oils. But,I don't want it to dry out the skin so much. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I've not made soap with menthol, so I can't really speak to that.
Thank you for your hard work and great work. I hope to put an Arabic translation for the videos
Just added them
Hi Ellen, I would like to use your recipe here, but, I don't want this big of batch lol! If I wanted a 2 lb batch, what would the percentage of the ingredients be?
I don't have it in %, but you can halve it or more 😉
Hi Ellen... How do you avoid the water droplets that appears on the bar during the rainy days/months?
I haven't had that issue... Perhaps try a water discount in the recipe.?.
Do you have a preference on the mold shape? Straight or petal sides?
No preference, these unmold so nice anything would work😉
How did you label and package these lovelies?
Shrink wrap & circle labels 😉
Holy cow, the yellow just morphed in front of my eyes! They turned out beautiful and look heavy. I’m just curious to know what brand is your immersion blender? I’m loving the yellow.
Thanks! There's a link for the blender in my Amazon store in the description box.
We're can I get those silicone mould to buy?
link in the description box for amazon

First comment❤️

The full recipe is in the description box 😉

Just do a solid color. OR YOU CAN JUST PUT 1 BLACK DOT AND NOT COLOR THAT WHOLE BOTTOM WHOLE THEN IT MIGHT NOT RUN THE COLOR.
