If nobody has said it... You are awesome! This looks so luxurious! I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge w/us. Your hard work is appreciated.
I was making a whipped sugar soap yesterday while my grandma was at my house and she came into the kitchen when I was labbling some jars and she saw me using your spatula technique and said that was genius. Can't wait to try this out.
@@EllenRuthSoap I made this lotion today and I'm having trouble getting it to set up. Its staying liquid instead of full and fluffy like yours. I know I have followed your recipe to a T. Any suggestions? Thank-you in advance!
Oh my God! Ellen , girl ...when i tell you, it was good my family loves it , i tried it on the guest hands at the hotel i work at..... oh oh oh my, girrlll you are the best.
This looks very nice and healthy for your skin. My daughter has eczema and it gets her hands really bad so she would love this for her night time lotion routine.
I made the Emulsified Butter Lotion recipe yesterday and I LOVE it, it did turn out a bit thicker than I expected, I suppose the lotion bit made me think it would be creamier, but OH Boy it is moisturizing, perhaps I should try this recipe also, thank you so very much for your generous, kind and loving help to us newbies in the field ❤
@@EllenRuthSoap, I was wondering, if I wanted to add a bit of glycerine to the Emulsified Butter recipe, would it help? I just love the 3 Butter Recipe 😊 How would I work out the amount I would need? Thanks Ellen ❤
My customers love the oatmeal lotion and body butters. The mango butter is amazing and I believe it’s a great combo Ellen to the the richness from Shea and the dry feeling from mango. Lovely 🥰
I love your lotion recipes, they always work so well for me - easy and the end product is always fantastic. Excited to try this one next! Thanks so much for being so generous and thorough with your recipes and processes.😊
SUPER AMAZING video. I'm learning to make my own skincare products and my skin is saying THANK YOU! You have answered and demonstrated the use of oatmeal. I had never thought about the pH balance. I'm certainly want to try this recipe! THANK YOU!
Ellen, I love this recipe! I made it Again today. I made half of it sandalwood Rose fragrance and the other half honey almond. It is so luxurious and smells fantastic! Love it! Love it! Love it! Thank you for sharing! 🥰 God bless you! 🙏
And again! A wonderful recipe to try.❤. I made your magnesium lotion recipe and my husband love it! He deals with arthritis in his knee and it works! Also I made your body scrub in conjunction with the simple lotion and my daughter says both is way better than tree hut and such. I am so glad I came across your channel a while back. Thank you so much for sharing this. I will make this asap. I am sure this will help with eczema as well. Love this!❤❤❤
I want to share my experience with you on this wonderful lotion. It is as you described, it is creamy, moisturizing and all that...and a bag of chips..lol! It was easy to make and the end result made me feel like I worked hard on it. My men folk, husband and sons, really like it. My husband said, "Are you selling that?" Did you make one for the house? 😂 I'm so jazzed about this recipe. Thanks a million. Blessings to you and prayers for your husband's health to stay intact.
Very thorough, I definitely want to try this. My daughter buys any cheap lotion that smells good and it grinds my nerves lol. Im going to get the supplies and teach her to make her own. Thanks Ellen!
Your comment made me laugh. Both my daughters do the same. I'm like...are you girls serious? do you even know whats in that cheap stuff and think about how many $$$$ are you wasting. I'm still converting them to my home made products. I have managed to ban any cheap soap coming into house so a little win so far. Rome wasnt built in a day lol
Ellen thank you once again..i made this recipe and it came wonderful..instead of water i use the aloe vera water that o still have..thank youu my angel❤
This is awesome. You are wonderful and inspire me. I will be starting my youtube channel soon and will be sharing how you have inspired me and sending people to visit and like you. You are a true blessing.
Mahalo for sharing! Definitely gonna try this out. My daughter and best friend have very sensitive skin. There are few products/soaps they can use. It’s worth a shot!
This gives me the idea.... I would personally leave the scent out and put real honey in place of veg glycerin. ;-) I enjoy watching you create. I understand that creative urge because I'm a portrait artist in watercolor retired. But still just like playing with color. I have more art supplies than I know what to do with! I was also making soap the old fashioned way clear back in 1989. I stirred all day with a big wooden spoon! When I hear you laugh, I could swear its my own favorite cousin laughing. Took me by surprise at 1st because you sound so much like her. Thank you for sharing so much.
Thank You Ellen, my sister is going thru Chemo and it leaves her skin in awful shape. I was wondering about Colloidal use to help and this sounds perfect. You're an Angel. 👍🤗
Today I watched you video and was curious about this Lotion. Oat I have here, so let get started. This Lotion is so smooting soft. My Skin loved it. Great work. Thank you for the recipe.
Well hello my dear Ellen this looks amazing, Ty so much for sharing you are so beautiful. I made the whipped butter, and everyone loved it. So I know this is going to be amazing. Keep on bringing out new things for us, great teacher. You are the best.
You've peaked my creative juices Ellen! I am eager to try this. I am new to soaping and lotion making but my desire to try is only outweighed by my lack of knowledge! :) Question: I own a company that distributes woodcare products and we have a Food grade Hemp Oil that we bottle for a vendor. How could I incorporate Hemp Oil in to this recipe? What would i eliminate in order to utilize the hemp oil and not make it too runny? thank you so much for the tutorial and the project ideas!
I love watching you channel on UA-cam! I get at lot of inspiration and knowledge from you. I have two questions: How long can you use the cream lotion after opening? Is it ok to dip your finger in the jar to get the cream out, or is it not a good idea hygienically since it is homemade? Have a wonderful day🙂
I absolutely love your videos!! I just tried your emulsfying scrub recipe yesterday. I also used tweaked to my preference you BB recipe!! Thank you so much for sharing. You look great for 56!! I would love for you to try making a hydrating face cream recipe!😉
This looks great and I can't wait to try! I am wondering if there is any concern of spoilage because you are using the oat "tea"? Or is the preservative enough to maintain it? Have you used this and left it in a jar long term? I just want to see before I use my *expensive* butters! Thank you for the video as always!
You can use the max recommended usage rate of preservative for this formula to be certain it's preserved well, I've had no issues with this going bad...
Thank you so much for the recipe - I can’t wait to make it! Have you doubled or tripled this recipe? I am debating if I will scent it - I do have people that ask me for unscented products.
Hi Ellen… how do you calculate the amount of emulsifying wax for a lotion recipe… thank you for your help! I did make this recipe and wow… it’s just so wonderful! Thank you for sharing this❤️
I used to use a higher % for E-wax, but have been experimenting with lower amounts like 4-5% and having great results... There's a lot of trial and error with formulations..
Hi Ms. Ellen! I made the oatmeal cream lotion the other day. This was my first time ever making a lotion. I believe my end result turned out pretty good. I use this as a body moisturizer after bathing but I'm having issues with the cream not wanting to rub in. It leaves a white cast as I'm trying to rub it in. As I keep working to rub it in, it gets a little rough to rub in, but does eventually absorb in to my skin. Any idea as to why I'm having to work to get it to absorb in to my skin? I do not have thirsty skin. I've been moisturizing my skin since I was a kid. The oatmeal, milk and honey smells very nice. It's very moisturizing and my skin feel so soft! I'm just trying to figure out why it's smearing a white cast all over when applying. I can't wait to try some of your other lotion recipes!
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you for taking the time to answer my question! I simmered the oats for several minutes like you suggested in the video and I used a tsp. of colloidal oatmeal. When applying, it's like how some sunscreens do when you apply it all over it has that white cast and difficult to get rubbed in. It does eventually absorb after a few minutes and feels great afterwards! I'm wondering if I should try a lighter lotion recipe of yours??
I made it and it is wonderful. I used less than 1% fo as it’s strong. I was able to scoop onto jars with no mess. Do you have this written out in % handy?
This recipe looks beautiful. I'm going to try it today. Question if I want to add some honey extract either liquid or powder, how much would I add and at what stage? Cool down?
I don't recommend milk lotions because they have a very short shelf life (like 2 weeks) and need to be kept in the fridge. Powder milks are another matter and can make a great addition to lotion.
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you so much, I love the cream one and use most days want the pump one for after shower, I so love your recipes you are so generous to give them out and unlike a lot of UA-camrs yours are real and actually work. I see so many in groups that try recipes off UA-cam dont know whom they are watching but see total disasters which stinks because we pay a lot for our ingredients. So Thank you
Could you please clarify if this is a 12 or 14 ounce recipe? I assume it is a 12 ounce recipe since you are using a 4 and 8 ounce jar. I wanted to make sure so that I properly calculate fragrance oil and Optiphen. I'm enjoying your videos very much and I can't wait to get my ingredients together to attempt lotion for the first time as well as try my hand at a lot of things you have shared on UA-cam! Thank you very much!
I appreciate your reply. You are such a pleasure to watch! I plan on attempting a lot of your recipes. Just made a trial batch of wax tarts and four small candles over the past couple of days. Fingers crossed they do well once they have cured. Your enthusiasm has given me inspiration to take the DIY journey! Thank you very much! @@EllenRuthSoap
If you dont have emulsifying wax, can you substitute beeswax? I have struggled to make lotion. Body butter is easy. Lotion is hard for me. Thanks. Also, thaks for your videos. Haven't watched alot lately due to life, but appreciate how you go thru things and explain and how thoughtful you r with ingredients etc. ❤
Hi Ellen, thanks for such great video. I tried making it and it came out really nice and now my whole family wants it too. How do I make a bigger batch? Do i just multiply everything by 2 or is there a formula i need ro follow?
Thank you so much for all your videos, a newmby here, I have found that you can get Colloidal Oats Liquid, have you ever used it before just asking. Again thanks for everything :)
Colloidal Oats Liquid is a pre-hydrated version of colloidal oats, designed to increase rejuvenating benefits to both hair and skin. Shay and Company @@EllenRuthSoap
Im trying to figure out the fragrance percentage. How do I calculate it? I went to the BB website to use the fragrance calculator for Oatmeal, milk & honey. The IFRA says 7%, does that seem kind of high? I'm not sure which ingredients to add together to figure out what the 7% is.
How long does this take to cool? I attempted this tonight and it is quite thin. Not sure if it thickens as it cools or if I messed it up. It is currently 97 degrees. Do you continue to stick blend as it cools? I apologize for all the questions.
Hi Ms. Ellen! On the emulsifying wax, I am looking at trying Olivem 1000, Ritamulse SCG or Bio-Mulsion wax as my emulsifier. Have you had any experience using one of these and would I still use the same amount as the Soft & Silky that you are using for this recipe? Thank you very much!
What are the percentages used for each ingredient in this recipe? I've noticed a lot of your recipes include the percentages but I do not see it for this particular one. I was unable to locate it. It would help me determine the amount of emulsifying wax I need if I decide not to use the Soft & Silky. Looking forward to making this for the first time. Thank you again! @@EllenRuthSoap
Loved this video! I just made your cream with your recipe and it turned out very good ♥ I do have one question. Is there a reason that you didn't use stearic acid? Is maybe the glycerin a substitute? The only reason that I ask is that with other lotions that I have tried there has been stearic acid in there so just curious. Thank you so much for sharing! :)
@@EllenRuthSoap Hi Ellen Ruth--thank you very much for the reply! Are there any oils/butters specifically that you'd recommend as non-comedogenic? (apologies if you mentioned it in the video and I missed it)
Hi! I am about to try this. Is the consistency suitable for a pump bottle, even though you have used jars? can I increase the liquid oils in this to make it more pumpable? Pls guide!
If nobody has said it... You are awesome! This looks so luxurious! I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge w/us. Your hard work is appreciated.
Thanks so much! 😊

I suggest using within a year of opening. And for personal use, I do use my fingers and have no issues.
I made milk baths with that scent and it is fabulous
Hi Ellen Ruth another thing to be aware of with preservatives is the ph of the cream. Optiphen works best at ph above 6.
I just tried your calamine soap, I love it!
I just love all your lotion videos. I have very dry problematic skin I'll definitely give this a go. It looks so luxurious. Thank you for sharing. 💕

This recipe looks beautiful. I'm going to try it today. Question if I want to add some honey extract either liquid or powder, how much would I add and at what stage? Cool down?
I've found honey doesn't emulsify well with oils, so I would go with the powder and add it either in the water phase or cool down.
@EllenRuthSoap thanks so much Ellen ❤️
Love this! Ty for the video! Can I use goat milk instead of water in this recipe?
I don't recommend milk lotions because they have a very short shelf life (like 2 weeks) and need to be kept in the fridge. Powder milks are another matter and can make a great addition to lotion.

Im trying to figure out the fragrance percentage. How do I calculate it? I went to the BB website to use the fragrance calculator for Oatmeal, milk & honey. The IFRA says 7%, does that seem kind of high? I'm not sure which ingredients to add together to figure out what the 7% is.
How long does this take to cool? I attempted this tonight and it is quite thin. Not sure if it thickens as it cools or if I messed it up. It is currently 97 degrees. Do you continue to stick blend as it cools? I apologize for all the questions.
Hi Ms. Ellen! On the emulsifying wax, I am looking at trying Olivem 1000, Ritamulse SCG or Bio-Mulsion wax as my emulsifier. Have you had any experience using one of these and would I still use the same amount as the Soft & Silky that you are using for this recipe? Thank you very much!
I have not worked with those emulsifiers, so I'm not sure on the usage rates??
What are the percentages used for each ingredient in this recipe? I've noticed a lot of your recipes include the percentages but I do not see it for this particular one. I was unable to locate it. It would help me determine the amount of emulsifying wax I need if I decide not to use the Soft & Silky. Looking forward to making this for the first time. Thank you again! @@EllenRuthSoap
Thank you Ellen Ruth Maam. Can i ask you how long the shelf life for this lotion.
If using fresh ingredients, I suggest using within a year of making.
Oh Ellen im looking forward to make this recipe..what fragance you use Ellen?❤
I used Oatmeal Milk & Honey for this one.
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you 🫠🥰
Loved this video! I just made your cream with your recipe and it turned out very good ♥ I do have one question. Is there a reason that you didn't use stearic acid? Is maybe the glycerin a substitute? The only reason that I ask is that with other lotions that I have tried there has been stearic acid in there so just curious. Thank you so much for sharing! :)
I like this formula without the stearic, but here's a video recipe where I do use it: ua-cam.com/video/6YQHDqGD2cc/v-deo.html
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you! I love it too! I was just wondering 😊
Great recipe! Do you think it gives the cream a different feel if you add the glycerin in the end compared to add it to the water face?
I don't think it would change the final outcome too much.
Great video! Is this lotion non-comedogenic?
That depends on the oils and butters chosen to make this. It can be non-comedogenic.
@@EllenRuthSoap Hi Ellen Ruth--thank you very much for the reply! Are there any oils/butters specifically that you'd recommend as non-comedogenic? (apologies if you mentioned it in the video and I missed it)
I've tried grinding the oats as fine as possible, then mixing it in warm water, then straining it.
Hi! I am about to try this. Is the consistency suitable for a pump bottle, even though you have used jars? can I increase the liquid oils in this to make it more pumpable? Pls guide!
Also, I have watched your other video also where you make a more runny lotion, but I think it will be too liquid-y for the temperature here :/
You could increase the water volume and decrease the e-wax just a bit. I suggest doing a small test batch and see how you like it.
or you could increase the emulsifyer here and decrease the water just a bit...
