- These Sea Salt Spa bars are so luxurious and fun to make! I'm using white kaolin clay and red Moroccan clay for colorants. I'm hand stiring to reach emulsion, no stick blending. #soapmaking #saltsoap #cpsoap
Basic Recipe:
48 oz Coconut oil
6 oz Castor oil
3 oz Cocoa butter
3 oz Shea butter
8.2 oz Lye
19.3 oz Aloe vera juice/ water
30 oz Sea Salt
(this is a 20% SF)
To this recipe I'm adding some Clays, Organic Colloidal Oats, Tussah silk fiber, Coconut Milk powder and fragrant oil.
PLEASE use cation and safety gear when dealing with Lye.

I made this soap several times. It’s absolutely heavenly. I gave some of them to friends. I highly recommend anyone to try it. Thank you so much Ms Ruth for sharing this absolutely wonderful recipe. I really appreciate you.💕🙏🏻🌿🌎💕
Glad you like it!❣️
Brilliant! I just bought the molds through your link. I made a salt loaf this weekend. It's glorious. Cut it at the 2 hour mark!
What a nice change from all of your other soaps. Beautiful. 🥰🇬🇧
Thank you Ellen.
These are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
Thanks and you're welcome 🥰
Thanks for sharing the recipe! Lovely soap as always!
You're so welcome 💕
It’s so therapeutic to watch. Thank you.💕💕💕
Thank you so much for watching💕
How wonderful, really beautiful! Enjoyed watching your video very much. Thank you so much Ellen❣️
Thank you so much!
What a nice perfect shap.
Oh gosh these look gorgeous! I'm so making another batch of salt bars! I love your work Ellen!
Yay! Thank you!
I'm very new/green in soaping products. I just started this year & I've watched more you tubes than I care to admit (spent more time on that vs soaping). You are, by far, my favorite teacher after watching many soaper's. You are an excellent communicator. Your communication is in layman terms, you are fast, efficient & passionate about your work. It's obvious to the viewers that you love what you do. I will be following all of your work. Don't change anything. :-)
Welcome! And thanks so much for watching🥰
Thank you for sharing! Your soaps are so beautiful and I wish I could smell them through my phone. I bet they smell amazing! 😍
Thank you for including the recipe! It helps me try something new! I'm a visual learner so watching you do your thing w/such ease builds my confidence to try!
I'm so glad!💕
I just made your aloe Vera-sea salt soap. It is the most silky, nurturing and moisturizing soap. I absolutely love it. Thank you. 💕👍🌎🌿🙏🏻❤️
Yay 🎉 🥰💕❣️
I made this soap once and it was my 1st time using a salt spa bar, I was in heaven, thank you sooo sooo much for this recipe, I followed it to the tee and it came out wonderfully, you're awesome Ellen, thank you.
Ellen Thank you! 🙏🏾❤️
You're welcome🥰
How is one of my favorite soapers? You look lovely today! Ellen you are so down to earth, so real! I love watching you! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Always look forward to your vids!
Oh thank you 🥰 I'm doing really good 💕 thanks for watching and being part of the soaping journey 💕
You are lovely! I like watching you making the beautiful flowered soaps and i enjoy your inner self 🤗
Thank you 🥰
Oh these look so lovely
Thanks so much 😊
These sound and look fantastic I think I will try making some of these. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Stay safe and well
Thanks 🥰 enjoy soaping!
I just love your soaps Ellen!
And I love when you spill lol
I am such a messy soaper and it’s refreshing to see someone else sometimes spills, a lot of other soapers are so neat and are really accurate with pouring and I always miss the mark lol 😂
Thanks 🥰 I always keep wipe up rags at the ready🤣
They are beautiful Ellen, very rich and elegant
Thank you, they're one of my favorites.
Great video Ellen, thanks heaps for the lovely recipe I will be trying it 🥰
You’re welcome 😊 Have fun soaping!
I just recently found you and I'm so glad I did. You have some wonderful products. Can't wait to try some of these myself.
Welcome!! So glad you're here!
I think I will give this recipe a try. I enjoy your videos and you are an amazing soap maker
Thank you so much!
Lovely soap!!💕
Thanks!😄
This looks amazing can’t wait to try! Thank you for sharing so generously...and providing where we can locate products
Thanks for another great video Ellen 🌸
Thanks for watching!
Love your channel , thank you for the recipe
My pleasure 😊
Thank you 😊
nice video.
Gorgeous and thank you for sharing the recipe i am off to make these today 😀
My pleasure 😊 let me know how it goes!
Thanks for the video and recipe😀
🥰 you're so welcome 💕
Wow ! 😗😗
Just placed a order for one of these bars. Excited to try it out 😄
Thank you so much!!! Enjoy🥰
Salt bars are my favorite bars to use on my face. I find the salt to be a gentle exfoliant if I use the bar directly on my face. When I don't want exfoliation, the salt is perfect for drawing out toxins without drying out my face. I love them. ❤
Yes🙌🏻 I love them too!
Salt actually balances the skin’s pH.
Lovely! They turned out so nice! I make Soleseife bars (with seawater from my beach here in NZ) which are very similar to those and they’re absolutely wonderful for the skin with all the salt!
Thanks! Ooooo, I love the sound of bars made with seawater💕
Very nice!
🥰💕
You got some strong arm's!! Gorgeous Spa Bar!!
I tried your recipe and I love it so much Ellen, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Needed to use huge dehumidifier to keep them dry though since I live in a tropical country.
Yay! So glad you gave it a try! Dehumidifiers are very handy for soapers 😉
Pake dehumidifier merk apa sis? Boleh rekomen? Makasih
wowwww nice txs
You could try pushing your stamp into the soap bars when they are a little soft and still in the moulds...that might work.
You're right, if I did it very early it might work 👍
Good recipe...I'm here as a new friend to hug you. Stay connected my friend.
Thanks and welcome 💕 glad you're here 🥰

Hi Ellen. Thanks again. I love making salt bars but I always blend to a thin trace then add the salt and pour. Never tried this method before but I will give it a shot.
On another note, I made 8 different bars of soap of 10 each and they are done curing. This means they are ready to be sold and I am so very nervous 🙊
Its now getting all very real.
Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa ♥️😘
That's so exciting! Don't be nervous, enjoy the process! I was so nervous when I sold my first few soaps too, but I really wanted to share the wonderful goodness with others🥰
@@EllenRuthSoap Thanks Ellen 😊
Means a lot to me😘
I’m laughing as I write: I missed the part where you said it emulsified quickly! I had to scoop it into the mold. First time though so I don’t care for aesthetics as long as it feels yummy and lathers. I can’t wait to ck it in 6 weeks!
You make it looks so easy and clean. I made these tonight and made quite the mess pouring into the molds. Hoping I got to emulsion. They did start to harden so I'm hopeful.
I make my fair share of messes too😅 but it's always worth it!
Ha! Me too! I missed the part where she said the salt thickens it - it was very thick and had to scoop it into the mold. It’ll look messy but who cares if it feels yummy and lathers.
How did yours turn out?
Thank you for sharing the recipe. The soaps look lovely. Do you use them like regular soap or are they for spa days?
Thanks! I use them for everyday, but they do feel like a "spa" treatment...😘
good video #epsonsoap😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you!
Oh hey Antarctica and
Australia representing haha fancy that. I'm Australian
💕
Thanks for the recipe Ellen. I was curious though, how do you package them please? I love the flower moulds
I either shrink wrap and put a round label on the flat bottom, or use craft paper..
I made salt bars using your recipe. I love them, thanks for sharing the recipe. Do you mind if I ask where did you get your lye pitcher?
Yay! I'm so glad you gave them a try! I added the lye pitcher link in the description box.😉
Hey Ellen, I love your recipes and you, your personality. I’m going to try this recipe. Wish me well. How do you package them?
Have fun soaping! I shrink wrap with a circle label.
Always enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing your recipe! Can the recipe be halved or quartered without affecting the quality? Thank you!
Thanks! Yes, you can reduce the batch size, I always recommend running your new oils thru soap calc to double check the lye amount..
These looks great, can you let me know where you got the moulds from? I really like the shallow disc shaped one.
Thanks! There's a link for the flower molds in the description box.
I received my soaps and they are beautiful. Well packaged, presentation is awesome. Now I know I’m supposed to use them. But they look so pretty. What’s a girl to do
Yay! I'm so glad you're happy with them! Gotta use them, that way I can keep making more😘💕
Use them and order more!
I do a seamoss and clay soap...think I'm gonna add salt next time. I usually do my spa bars with milk
Thank you for your video. How scrubby are they and do they lather well? Lovely Soaps.
They lather very well, and have a gentle exfoliating feel
Thank you so much for the recipe. I love watching your videos. Where did you get your stamp? I would love to get one for myself and I love the quality of yours.
Thanks 💕 it's from etsy Digital2cre8
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you so much for the info. I can't wait to try this recipe.
Love your videos! I am only about a year into making bath and body products. I am loving this recipe However I am not making cold pressed soaps yet so I do not have lye handy. Can I use a cosmetic grade melt and pour at all with this or will it alter the entire recipe? TIA
Welcome to soaping❣️ it’s so fun! Melt and Pour is a very different approach, so you can’t really convert CP recipes to MP. Bramble Berry has some really good MP videos
Wow, I love this video, it's perfect one that I have been waiting for. Thanks!
Can I ask what the lye concentration is?
Thank you 🥰 you can run the numbers thru a soap Calc. I like a steep water discount too...
Given thé Atlantic current, thé met ACTUALLY je continu from thé semé datées Anyways!😉🙃😘👏💖
Wow they DID come up solid, fast!
I made mine in a pringles can with a plastic cutting mat in a yen yang design
Oh, that sounds great!
Hi Ellen, I so love your videos. Thanks for your time 😘
Hii Ellen, I'm wondering if your salt bars are sweating because of the salt. And if they are, what do you do to get rid of it or to avoid it? I made some himalayan pink salt bars and they sweat a lot. Idk whether it's because of the choice of the salt or every salt bar does sweat. Pretty soap bars anyway, Ellen! I love listening to your explanation about your products!
Good question, I've never used himalayan salt in the bars before, so I'm not sure if that's the issue? I haven't had a sweating problem thus far. I don't wrap them until they are fully cured...
Those are such pretty flower molds! What if I wanted to make just one or two flower soap bars? Can I go on soapcalc and figure out how much it would take to make just a couple of bars of soap or would that not be a good idea?
Yes, you can half the recipe or more. Just run your final # thru soap calc to double check
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you
I can't wait to try these! 1. Where do you buy tussah silk fiber? 2. Do you use bleached tussah silk fiber or Unbleached? 3. Can I substitute powdered quinoa flakes for colloidal oatmeal? Thx!
I get my silk from Amazon, and I get the unbleached natural Tussah silk. I've not tried powdered quinoa, but it sounds like it would be a great sub...
@@EllenRuthSoap Thanks for the quick reply! ❤️❤️❤️
Looks great. How much cane sugar do you normally add to your recipe?
Thanks! In my normal recipe I usually use a heaping Tablespoon. But I've read you can use @ 1 tsp per lb of oils...
Ellen, I was wondering if the kaolin clay & goat milk makes the soap soft? I just cut my first beer soap. It seems soft compared to other soaps I've made w/o those two additives. Will it harden up when it cures?
I have not noticed it making the soap soft. You could try a steep water discount.?. And always double check your lye to oil ratio if there is any problems..
@@EllenRuthSoap the beer soap had soda ash all over the cut bars. They didn't crack or discolor. They even went through gel phase after being in the fridge for 24 hrs. I thought that was odd? Not sure what I did wrong? The beer may have been boiled too long? Maybe it took out more liquid. It was the correct ounces when measured.
Beautiful soap! How much fragrance oil did you use in this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing 💚
I follow the max % allowed for CP soap. Each fragrance is different, there are several good fragrance calcs online.
Thank you 💚
Is the salt iodised? Pretty good bar of soaps. Thanks for the recipe sister💗
Thank you 💕 no I didn't use iodized salt, just plain sea salt. You can also use pink salt 😉
@@EllenRuthSoap Thanks a lot sissy😊
I love this one as well But I couldn't find the measurements of what you used. Is Himalayan salt ok to use as well?
yes, Himalayan salt makes great bars.
I wanna start by saying how much I love all your videos. I have one comment on this one and that is you do not say how much kaolin clay or red clay to put in how much water? Also the coconut milk powder?
Good point, I used a heaping Tablespoon of each of the dry additives.
I'm a newbie. Love your videos. I have a question on this recipe. How can you be sure that you have reached emulsion if you haven't really got a trace yet? 🤔
If you pause blending and the oils don't rise to the top, you've reached emulsion, meaning they are fully bonded with the liquid portion.
@@EllenRuthSoap ok! Thank you!!
Hello, those are the prettiest ever. I have a question about the salt. Do the salt dissolve or is it exfoliating grains? Be safe and have an awesome week
Thanks! The salt dissolves a bit and gets smoother, but there is a gentle exfoliating factor to them.💕
Ellen Ruth Soap I ordered a few bars last night. I’m excited to get these.
cheryl norise Thank you! they're shipping out today 🥰 let me know how you like them 💕
Hi thanks for always replying to my IG messages!!! Lol! Question How do u suggest wrapping these??
I wrap my round bars in unbleached coffee filters, with a round label.
Hi Ellen! I think I will make some of these tonight for Christmas gifts. How much of the coconut milk powder and the colloidal oats did you add? And how many of the floral bars will your recipe make? I only have one of those molds, so I was thinking I probably need to quarter this recipe? Or maybe a 3rd? I do have a smaller floral mold that I could make some little "baby" soaps with as well if I had extra batter. Or maybe I will just run to Hobby Lobby and see if they have the same mold and buy extras lol.
I usually add 2-3 T of the dry additives. And I can typically get about 30 flower bars
@@EllenRuthSoap thanks so much!
You may not be able to answer this, so I guess I’m just asking for an opinion, but I have always been a little afraid of salt soaps because I have sensitive skin and had a bad reaction to salt scrubs before. Are these more gentle than the scrubs would be for sensitive skin? I’m thinking they have the benefit of all the butters....
I do think these would be way less aggressive than a salt scrub, the exfoliating factor is very gentle. I find them quite soothing on the skin.
Ellen Ruth Soap Thanks, I’ll have to try one someday. I’ve heard people rave about them.😊
Thanks for sharing your recipe. The aloe vera juice at my store had citric acid in it. Will that be OK? The amount wasn't given, just that it was added as a preservative to organic aloe vera juice. Thanks!
It should be fine to use, as long as that's the only additive 😉
@@EllenRuthSoap Thanks! I hope to make a 1/2 batch of them tomorrow. They'll be my first salt bars. I'm excited. :D
can pink salt be used instead of sea salt. and what type of aloe water do you use
Yes, pink salt is wonderful in this recipe👍 I use Fruit of the Earth Aloe juice
Hi Ellen, question does it really matter what kind of sugar? Can regular white or brown sugar work?
I don't think it matters that much 😉
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you, i have one more question,lol when i add the sugar to the warm lye, it neve melts completely, it that ok?
vincyfifi you'll need to add the sugar and dissolve it before adding the lye, it won't fully dissolve after the lye is in 😉
@@EllenRuthSoap ahhhhhh i see. thank you so much. :D
Can I add citric acid to make salt soap? I ask because of the superfatting. Thank you for sharing👍
You can add citric acid to any soap recipe, but it will affect the lye ratio.
Thank you very much for prompt response, God bless you🙏🏽👍❤️
Hello , these are the oils I have available, I want a good lathering salt soap , these are the oils I have available, help me choose, coconut oil, olive oil (pomace), cocoa butter, Shea butter. I plan using your same measurement. Thanks in advance.
You'll need to use a soap calculator for this. Those are all good oils.
I just got scared when you poured the salt in and it rose nearly to the edge lol. I thought noooooooo don’t spill out!!
Hahaha, me too! That was way too full🤣
@@EllenRuthSoap lol but it went super awesome and they are beautiful!
I'd love to make these and put on my website. I would change the color and give you full recognition on labels and website. Is this something that would be ok with you? You are my favorite! I'd like to do the same with other recipes you post on UA-cam. (please say 'yes ) Jeanne
Yes, when I post a public recipe, it's for sharing. I would suggest making a few tweek, to customize it for you 😉 have fun soaping 💕
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you so much, Ellen.
How much coconut milk powder and colloidal oats do you add?
I use a generous 2T of each
Wondering, Ellen, if you have this recipe in percentages? 😃
If you run the # thru soap calc it will give you %
Hi Ellen.. may I know the ratio of water & the lye?
It's about 33%
I would like to half this recipe. Would I just half the water and lye as well?
Yes, but I do suggest running the numbers thru soap calc to double check the lye ratio.
Is it edible salt? I mean is it the natural iodated salt sold in the stores?
Yes, it's salt from the grocery store 😉
How much did you superfat this recipe?
It's almost a 20% superfat, you don't need to do that much, but I really like the finish.
I react badly to coconut oil, and anything coconut, what could I use instead?
Oh wow, that's a bummer. I'm really not sure, you'd have to do some research on that, I know 100% olive oil soap is great!
Thanks, that’s what I’ve found, I have a 3 butter and a super fatted recipe and I think I’ll replace the C with EVOL
Hi Ellen, whats the superfat on these?
It's about 20% SF
Thank you. Here where I live no body knows this beauty... So im starting out on and seeing how they sell. I'll let you know
How much of the clays are you using, please?
I use about 1 tsp per lb of oils
@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you!
How much fragrance oil did you use on this recipe. You didn't comment on that one..
It depends on the fragrance, not all have the same usage rate so I don't typically give that number.
@@EllenRuthSoap If you are giving a soap recipe out to us (with specific ounces) why wouldn't you give out the amount of this particular fragrance oil you used for this....As a soaper- I don't get it.....
@@dianeweitknecht646 I really want to encourage other soapers to calculate the IFRA usage rate for their own particular batch. Each F.O. is different, and knowing how to calculate the amount helps most soapers, so they can size up or down their batches and use different F.O.'s...
Did I miss how much fragrance to add?
I typically use 2-5% fragrance, or whatever is recommended for that particular one..
Thanks so much
Sorry,I can’t find the recipe with precise ingredients .Please, guide me where is it.Thank you.
In the description box
Why did my salt just sink! 🥺😩😔
Soaping at cooler temps, And getting a good trace helps...
