That was great Ms. Ellen. Thank you. We appreciate your honesty opinion on the missing data on fragrances info. You are one of the best in the soap industry and we are fortunate to have you teach us. I have learnt a lot over the years. ❤
I love Bulk Apothecary. They have some of the best prices. I made some of your tripple butter bars for my nephew and his girlfriend who are having her first baby in July. I also made them your soothing oatmeal cream. They loved it.
I buy from Bulk Apothecary. It is a wonderful place to get soap supplies. They have great fragrances with names like cool water for men and it is spot on! Their products are top shelf in my opinion! Thank you Ellen Ruth.
Another great soap and video. Congrats on Maker of the Month, you deserve it. I love your opinion on fragrance behavior. I am always looking for fragrance behavior and shy away from ones that don't have that info. Love, love, love your videos. Have a blessed day.
Hi Ellen this is Karen from the ship. Bulk Apothecary sells from Canada as well so it’s great to know how their fragrance worked ! Beautiful soap as usual. Take care❤
Thank you for another excellent video, Ellen, and congratulations for being chosen "maker of the month" you truly deserve it. It's a beautiful soap, and the swirls are gorgeous, those color are ❤️ and the piping on top looks awesome. Thank you again.
❤ Thank you 😊 for sharing the details, Ellen. The purple 💜 looked blue 💙 when you showed them. The soap looks awesome 💜💚🤎 beautiful 😍 swirls, and piping 🎊 patience is the 🔑 ❤👍🏼well said ❤
Great vid! I love how there wasnt any discoloration! I have been buying from BA for over 13 years now, mostly for their eo's. I also hit their clearance items too! Def a great company to buy from. I have been contemplating buying more fragrance oil from them soon for cp soap. Ty for the recipe. I have to buy some rice bran oil! Happy Memorial Day weekend!
(Note for those with sensitive skin or eczema) Thank you Ellen for the recipe, and I have a note that I hope will be accepted Please note this in your upcoming videos An increase in the percentage of coconut oil will dry the skin
Wonderful soap! And you’re a very patient person… I don’t have the patience for slow moving batter. I’ve carefully marked every slow moving FO I have, so I can use them for super intricate designs. And save my extremely fast movers for bath bombs. 😁 Congrats on being featured! You look like you’re truly enjoying this phase of your business Ellen. From one soaper to another, I’m very happy for you!
Thank you Ellen for your precise information you share. Ive been following you for 4 yrs now, & I have learned so much. Thank you so much for saying the measurements in grams, as it gives us an idea whilst we’re watching. I love all your soaps, well done 👍🏼
Beautiful soap Ellen, thank you for sharing! I have yet to order from BA, I will check the website out this weekend 🤗 I actually found you/your channel when I did a seach on Makesy unboxing, and loved how you showed and made soap with the product and all they had to offer. So, I used your code and ordered the kit some time ago. Thank you for that.... lol now im absolutely hooked! ❤❤❤ Many Blessings! Happy Memorial Day to you and your family. 🫶
Hi Ellen, I absolutely love your channel. New at soaping here, I got the dark trim around my soap. What does it mean? Goat milk burned or fragrance issues? Thank you. Your channel has been a tremendous help to me in my new soap making journey 😀
Hi, can you explaing how to formulate your own soap recipe. How you started making soap? Can you share the brand of your stick blender. I want to learn. Thank you
Where would I look for measurements and formulation’s calculator? And how much fragrance did you actually use in ounces? I’m am in process of beginning my natural soap business
WSP and Bramble Berry both have good calculators as well as soap calc. And for fragrance, each one has it's own usage rate. I recommend looking up the usage rate for whatever you're using, it's typically between 3-5%
If you change an oil in CP soap recipe, you’ll need to run the numbers thru a soap calc to make sure the lye ratio is correct. And for preservative, there are several to choose from. Bramble Berry has some good articles on them.
If you don't have rice bran oil you can look up the saponification value to exchange it for another oil. You must run it through a soap calculator for the proper amounts of lye and water. I have one printed. Just saying
Hello Mrs. Ellen! Quick question? Why is the lye mixture not steaming? I'm confused because I hear that you need to wear a mask . But I don't see any fumes or steam. Will you explain it please. I would like to try to make.
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you for always responding to my questions. I made the triple butter luxury bar that will be ready in a week. My sister is going through chemo and I wanted something special for her. Thank you
Thank you for sharing all your great tips. I recently made 6.25 pounds of soap and I thought I reached trace and when I went to unmold, the soap looked like and felt like gel and broke apart and some oil began to ooze out 😣 this has never happened before. Would you suggest rebatching in slow cooker?
So here’s the thing I was doubling on a recipe and I’m pretty sure I made a mistake and did not double on the lye measurement so therefore I know now that I’m missing exactly half the lye for this soap amount 😣 what can I do?
Congratulations on the "maker of the month" award, you really deserve it ❤
Thank you so much!💕

Yay for spoon swirls💜
Ellen, I have been buying micas left and right. I am probably close to having a full shelf like yours in the back wall.
This was great! I really enjoyed it. Thank you x
Glad you enjoyed it!💙
Thank you ❣️
Very nice I've made a soap with that fragrance I love it ❤
Beautiful as usual! Ty Ellen

Thanks! This scent is so good💜
you rock
Very well done thanks.
Muy hermoso.
Beautiful ❤
I love your chanel :)
Thank you so much!💕
Hi Ellen, I absolutely love your channel. New at soaping here, I got the dark trim around my soap. What does it mean? Goat milk burned or fragrance issues? Thank you. Your channel has been a tremendous help to me in my new soap making journey 😀
Typically when there is a dark rim, it means your soap is starting to discolor, usually due to the fragrance.
Hi, can you explaing how to formulate your own soap recipe. How you started making soap? Can you share the brand of your stick blender. I want to learn. Thank you
Here is a video where I explain how I formulate a recipe: ua-cam.com/video/SO5n4uWEVO0/v-deo.html
Where did you buy your large pouring pitcher? Can’t seem to find one 🤪. That soap is exceptionally gorgeous! Great job 💕
This is the one I use: amzn.to/3ysbztG
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you for your quick reply…appreciate you!

2 questions. What can be used in place of the rice bran oil
2. What preservative do I need for whipped body cream for longer shelf life Thank you
If you change an oil in CP soap recipe, you’ll need to run the numbers thru a soap calc to make sure the lye ratio is correct. And for preservative, there are several to choose from. Bramble Berry has some good articles on them.
EllenRuthSoap
Thank you, i'll ck them out.
Can you basically whip any body butter?
If you don't have rice bran oil you can look up the saponification value to exchange it for another oil. You must run it through a soap calculator for the proper amounts of lye and water. I have one printed. Just saying
Hello Mrs. Ellen! Quick question? Why is the lye mixture not steaming? I'm confused because I hear that you need to wear a mask . But I don't see any fumes or steam. Will you explain it please. I would like to try to make.
A mask is a really good idea, my camera doesn’t pick up the steam/ off gassing but it’s there for sure.
@EllenRuthSoap what type of mask do you use if you don't mind me asking? By the way I love all of your videos!! 🩷
Hi Ellen. I do want you to try this recipe. What do you put in for your SF % on this recipe
I did a 5% super fat.
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you for always responding to my questions.
I made the triple butter luxury bar that will be ready in a week. My sister is going through chemo and I wanted something special for her. Thank you
Thank you for sharing all your great tips. I recently made 6.25 pounds of soap and I thought I reached trace and when I went to unmold, the soap looked like and felt like gel and broke apart and some oil began to ooze out 😣 this has never happened before. Would you suggest rebatching in slow cooker?
I would suggest doing a pH test to double check the lye situation, and if that’s okay then I would rebatch.
So here’s the thing I was doubling on a recipe and I’m pretty sure I made a mistake and did not double on the lye measurement so therefore I know now that I’m missing exactly half the lye for this soap amount 😣 what can I do?
I have a question if the soaps are all natural how is mica powder natural
These soaps are not "all natural", you can use clays for colorants if that's what you're going for.
May i ask which soap calculator you use? ❤
I like Soap Calc
where can l buy your products??
I don't sell retail any longer.
How many oz of FO did you add to this recipe?
I follow the manufacturer recommendations for each fragrance.
Ellen may I know the super fat for this recepi? Beutiful
5% super fat 👍
How much FO can i add to this recipe? I want to make the same exact recipe
Most fragrances are 5%, but double check the one you're using to make sure.
@@EllenRuthSoapthank you for responding 😊
Now we can make soap using essentials oils only not any other ingredient . I would suggest to the channel to either you show everything or you don't
What did you miss? She did show everything.
I was wondering the same, she is sooo thorough@@debfiel6585
Hi Ellen can you run some certificate courses.I love your products❤ 🦾
