Yum, Yum, Yum!!! As always great video, great teacher!! The sugar cane, made up of glucose and fructose are bound together to make sucrose. In Honey, the fructose and glucose are not bound together, they are separate within the honey, so the sugars breakdown faster producing that heat! That's why honey is healthier to ingest because it's readily available to our cells thanks to the bee's work! Table sugar is an anti-nutrient (in food) and requires taking nutrients from our body, like vitamin C and Calcium, in order for us to digest it! I am a bit nerdy when it comes to orthomolecular nutrition🤣 ~jc
Thank you so much for the detailed info.! That really helps, for a while I thought it was my imagination that the honey was heating up more than regular sugar... Now I know❣️ P.S. I LOVE nerdy info🥰
Yaaaay first to comment 🤗... Loved the look of the honey bunny soap and the video .. ❤️ the top spoon swirls you do are so unique and uniform ... Maaaaaan i can never achieve that look! Love love love the whole presentation.. you rock as always 💕✨🌟
Hi there Ellen, lovely to see you make this soap, one of my favourites blends. You are such a Darling. Could watch you all day long. Love from Australia
You just inspired me in making a honey soap. I haven't made one of these in ages. I think it's the concern with the honey overheating. I will bite the bullet and do it. It's beautiful as ever and always love the swirls and the top! I'm a bit swirl girl myself. Have a sweet honey of a day dear Ellen! Cheers from Quebec on this very cold day!
Came out beautiful once again! I LOVE oatmeal and honey soap. I made a batch with a FO and was worried when it discolored to a pink-ish color, thankfully it went back to the creamy color😅
Could you say more about adding milk to the oils? I have goats and am planning to make goat milk soaps of various types and fragrances... but am BRAND new to soap making. I've been reading and watching, and love your channel; thanks for your time. Everywhere else, I've seen people freezing milk and then adding it with water to lye. Is it simply that you add the milk to the oils, and then don't have to worry about the heating of the milk (scorching it)? Also, did I hear that you mentioned keeping the lye solution to 50/50 lye/water? TIA!
I love this soap! So pure and natural..may I kindly ask where you purchased your titanium dioxide bottle with the shaker beads? I have a difficult time trying to mix it up in little cups. That method seems much easier. Thank you for all of your videos and recipes you share with us Ellen..Be Blessed. ❤️
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you. I started to buy one from them some time ago but they had a minimum order and I didn’t reach it. Amazon might have them, I’ll check there. Thanks again😊
Beautiful as always! Do you happen to have a video teaching about milk in oil soap making? I still consider myself newish and tend to not stray away from my standard process (some that I learned from you, like Kaolin Clay and Colloidal Oats in every batch I make 😉), but I do have goats milk powder. I'm just a bit nervous to use it. Oh yeah! I meant to say that for the first time, I was trying an in the pot swirl, and then realized I had forgotten my dang FO!!!! I was like OHHHH NOOO! So I had to hurry and then mix it all in which killed my in the pot colors. But the soap was a masculine FO mix and turned out to be a gorgeous steel type gray! I added a bit of the left over activated charcoal mix to the top and then did a little spoon design and it turned out beautifully! Sooooo determined to master an in the pot swirl one day though! 🥰
I've forgotten my F.O. before 🤣 Sounds like you handled it well! I do talk about the milk in oil method in quite a few videos. You can start out small and just take a few oz of the liquid to use as milk in your oils, to test how you like it...
@@EllenRuthSoap You are sooooo dang sweet to answer all of your many followers questions!!!! You are absolutely my most favorite soaper channel! Thank you so very much sweet lady!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
This looks amazing! I have tried your products and LOVE them, especially your body butter. You always inspire me to get up and make something. 😎One question…where did you get your two tablespoon scoops from? I have looked everywhere!
Hello, Ellen. Greetings from Alberta, Canada. Thank you for all of the wonderful ideas you share with us, enthusiasts! Do you get a bitter smell when you mix the goat's milk in your solutions? I did the first time I made goat's milk soap. It dissipated after it cured but I wonder if you have any suggestions? Is it to put the milk in the oil a better method?
Hi , lovely video, thanks for sharing. How much liquid milk ( not the powder) do you add to ithe melted oils and deduct from water quantity? Any percentages of liquid .milk thaf you reccomend ? Thanks
Thanks! The hard rule with milk in oil method is you have to have at least a 50/50 liquid to lye solution, everything above that can be added to the oils.
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you so much Ellen for your sensible and logical answer ! I tend to do this for any liquid milks I add so I don't have to freeze it first , I mostly add oatmilk or coconut milk which i make myself , to my soaps using this method. Thanks :) .
@EllenRuthSoap thank you. Can I add essential oils to these recipes? Also, add some mica powder to add any color? Sorry sorta newbie just trying to learn

Wow ... Thats an awasome n simplified clarification on Honey n Sugar! Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much for the detailed info.! That really helps, for a while I thought it was my imagination that the honey was heating up more than regular sugar... Now I know❣️ P.S. I LOVE nerdy info🥰
@@EllenRuthSoap you are so welcome!! Glad there are other people who like to know! 😁 ~jc
I love nerdy information like this, too! Thank you so much!! Very informational and helpful-both for soaping and nutrition 😉
Bring on the nerdy facts 🤓 love it
Beautiful soap! I got a chuckle when the closed captions said you were adding kale and clay.
🤣 That's one of the joys of "auto translate" 😂💕
YOU ARE AMAZING, YOU ARE SOOOO SWEET, THANK YOU!
🥰Thank you so much
I always enjoy your videos, glad I'm not the only person that forgets the fragrance 🤣
Your definitely not alone 🤣
Beautiful as usual! Love your videos

@@EllenRuthSoap Always 💕
I'm so jealous of your studio!!! Lovely soap like always 😍
Thanks 🥰🍯 I feel very blessed with my work space.
Hi there Ellen, lovely to see you make this soap, one of my favourites blends. You are such a Darling. Could watch you all day long. Love from Australia
Oh thank you!🥰
I like this soap and I love watching your videos. Well done 👍💕💕💕
Thanks so much 😊
next time if you make this you should line your mold with bubble wrap to make it look like honeycomb. I can't wait to order this.
I like the bubble wrap impression idea🥰🍯
I wish I could order these 😍 they look so lovely Ellen 🧡💛
🥰Thank you!
It feels good to see a soft and beautiful soap ~~ It's really cool ~~
Thank you! 😊

Have fun soaping 🍯❣️ And stay warm🥰
Lovely bars as always 🙏😍

Thanks 🍯 blessings to you too ❣️

Thanks! Yes, sometimes those color morphs can be a bit worrisome... But they usually bounce back.

I find the "milk in oil method" much easier and simpler, that's why I do it. for 100% milk soap, you do need to freeze it and add the lye slowly.
Hi Ellen, can you please tell me what the silk does for the soap? Love the idea of honey soap 🍯🍯
It adds a glossy appearance and gives the lather a sily feel.

Thank you so much🥰 It's a coffee scoop, most "coffee scoops" are 2 tbls. I get them in the kitchen widget isle😉
I absolutely LOVE watching you create these amazing soaps! May I ask what size mold you use?
Thanks so much 😊 I'm using the tall triple skinny
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you! Have you thought about doing classes to teach others?

I did the first time I made goat's milk soap. It dissipated after it cured but I wonder if you have any suggestions? Is it to put the milk in the oil a better method?
Hi 👋. I do notice a light smell when doing full milk soaps, which does fade away… I haven’t noticed any off smells when doing the milk in oil method 😉
@@EllenRuthSoap Your videos are wonderful and I sure enjoy your smiles and positive attitude :-) Thank you so much!
Do you spray the top with alcohol before covering and letting set ?
Not always... I like the steaming method the next day better.
Awesome! How did it behave after curing a bit? I’m hoping it didn’t discolor on you and stayed this creamy mix bc it looks amazing.
The fragrance stayed nice and strong, and the colors held with no discoloration.
Can you do a milk and honey sugar scrub
That’s a fantastic suggestion, I’ll put it on my planning board❣️

Can you give a recipe? This looks wonderful
I didn't share many recipes in my older videos, here is video with several recipes: ua-cam.com/video/SO5n4uWEVO0/v-deo.html
@EllenRuthSoap thank you. Can I add essential oils to these recipes? Also, add some mica powder to add any color?
Sorry sorta newbie just trying to learn
I am new to soap making do you give the recipes?
I share several recipes through out my channel, here is one with 4 great soap recipes: ua-cam.com/video/SO5n4uWEVO0/v-deo.html
Where do you get your metal lye solution containers? I have looked high and low for something similar and can’t find any.
Amazon has them. It’s where I purchased mine. 😊
There's a link in the description box for my amazon store, they're in there.
@@EllenRuthSoap ok thanks so much 😊
