    Ellen, I started watching your channel because I searched for a diy about a month ago for a body butter and from all the videos I found, to be honest with you, yours was the one that made me want to actually try to make it. As of now I have tried probably 4 or 5 different recipes from you including this one, and OMG I am so glad I did, I’m in love with the way it feels and for the scent, my daughter chose cherry blossom, but I only have essential oils as of now. It’s delicioso!!!! I’m so in love with the texture.
    But really is not only that, you make the videos very easy to follow, as a beginner in this area I was able to make the salt hand scrub, the body butter, I think also the bath salts I tried but those I prob did something wrong because it never dried on me lol 🤪 but is fine, and this one which I’m in complete ahhh!!!! About it!!! Thank u for taking your time to teach the way u do your products.
    And yes you do look very young, isn’t that awesome, jeje 😊 same here, I’m 47 and one time I had to push my emergency button for EMS to come and the guy when he ask for my DOB he couldn’t believe me. He thought I was 25 lol he made my pain go away for a split second.
    The Joy and happiness that comes from our hearts makes us feel and look younger!!!!
    God bless u!

That cupuacu is miraculously better than many other butters and Kokum oh my words. I changed my formula from Shea to Kokum and didn’t tell my daughter anything. She came home and said did you write the recipe down mom? Of course I answered and she replied I don’t want nothing but this lotion until summer comes! It’s that 😊 Thank you Ellen!

    I made a tiny 50g batch of this last night following the recipe exactly. It was a fun challenge measuring out such small quantities of all the different oils. The recipe made like a dream, so smooth with every last drop scooping easily out my mixing jug into my waiting amber jar. The finished body butter is lovely and thick just how I like it, and yes it goes on like silk and absorbs right into the skin with no greasiness! My butter took on a lovely warm yellow colour as soon as the rosehip oil went in. I love it and decided to add Bergamot as my scent. Will definitely be making this again and have fun playing with different oils and butters next time. Thankyou for sharing with us😃

    Absolutely luxurious! It’s actually cupuasoo. In languages like French and Spanish there’s a little symbol that looks like a 5 cut off at the top that’s added under the c. It tells you that the c is a soft c. You may or may not have noticed some spellings of this word have that cut off number 5 under the c. Love your videos.

    Ur absolutely beautiful. No one believes me that I’m 47 yrs old. I’ve had a skin care routine since I’m 12. I don’t have lines at all not even when I raise my eyebrows or smile. I make sure I’m hydrated and I do not sleep on my face at all.
    I make body butter. True body butter and I have ppl contacting me all the time asking for my recipe which to me that’s ridiculous. It’s my best seller so I don’t why anyone would except a company to hand over a recipe that I worked on for over 2 years. I spent thousands of dollars to protect this. It’s a true body butter and I don’t use water or E wax or a lot of the chemicals ppl put in their emulsified body butter lotion. This looks stunning. But, I don’t just whip a butter together with a little bit of oil. Cause that’s nasty and anyone can do that. My son has horrible eczema on his hands and so does my husband and my other son however, my oldest he has mild Asperger and like me he does not like certain textures he cannot stand to have something greasy on him. He would rather his nipples cracking bleed before the sun greasy was my guinea pig for over two years. That’s why I named after him, and finally, I had the right oil essential oils temperatures exactly how long to whip it which believe it or not takes a very long time. I can see by looking at it when it’s ready if you take my body butter and I have displayed this on my TikTok and you put it on there’s no shine. There’s no oil there’s no shine. There’s no grease literally rubbing on and hand and it’s in your skin. So I use letters, beeswax starch, hard oil liquid oil that’s been infused for six weeks. I use my old like the Egyptians so it takes six to 8 weeks I am my essential oils by the drop. I literally count each drop , vitamin E and a preservative and then as I said temperatures make a huge difference and I whip it makes a huge difference. I promise you it is not greasy whatsoever. So that’s how I’ve been doing it all these years. I did change two butters out well actually I had Shea butter cocoa, butter, and mango butter, and it seems like I don’t know if I’m the only one that’s noticed this shape, butter and mango butter since the pandemic has been horrible so easily never had a problem with it until the last couple years I don’t know why it’s not so I changed out all three of those and I use cacao butter and Kokom butter and it’s perfect absolutely perfect.

  • @Jina0223
    @Jina0223 Před 3 měsíci

    Question: Ive been making the body butter per your recipe for a while. Last few times the butter is a little stiffer than usual. I do know that the btms 50 really thickens and stiffens my creams, (not a fan) but wondering if Im using a different emulsifying wax or steric acid that is making the creams heavier... I made several samples with different. amount of emulsifying and cutting it sown does help but the slip seems to not be as long. My whipped body butter is nice and creamy and stays that way but the emulsified is varying a lot. Any thoughts???? Thanks

    Wow I’ve always wanted to learn how to mix butters in to make a more lotion type product, thanks so much!!!
    Quick question if I wanted to make a larger batch do I just multiply each ingredient by how many more bottles I’d like to make, what’s the best way to make a larger batch?

    Just curious, your total percentages in the description box add up to over 100% and that excludes fragrance percentage as well. Is there a typo somewhere or should I just adjust out of the water phase

    • @EllenRuthSoap
      @EllenRuthSoap  Před 4 měsíci

      The preservative, fragrance, and Vit E oil are % of the Body Butter ingredients (which add up to 100%) As in, they are "extra" ingredients on top of the base.

    Ellen, I know you make oat water for lotions but I cannot recall if you have used it for soap? I was going to give it a try but I’m not as experienced of a soap maker as you and would feel better if you think it would be ok! 😂 As in replacing some of the water with oat water. I want clear looking soap so was going to skip the colloidal oats. Thanks!

I want to make some lotions for my family and I but my mom has psoriatic disease and a huge list of ingredients she can't use. I've tried doing some research, but without purchasing a bunch and testing, I wouldn't know for sure. Just didn't know if you have one you like? Or know that works well. Thank you in advance 😁
