You are a joy to watch, I've watched a few videos I'm a row now lol..... but this video, curious if you have to use the Stearic Acid and Emimsifying Wax?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for watching! I haven't made this formula without Stearic and E-Wax... I think the Emulsifying wax is a must as you're using water to activate it while scrubbing... I suggest a small test batch if you're wanting to change the recipe.

@@EllenRuthSoap thank you so much for the quick reply. I will definitely try! I see you've been at this for a while so I trust your judgment.

[@kathypelot2187]

I would have liked to see how it is once it is set up considering how fluid it was. What is the consistency of it set up? Is is still fluid or scoopable?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

As soon as it cools completely it's firm, like you can hold the jar upsidedown and it'll stay put.😉

[@annap1191]

Is it better to let the mixture cool down first before pouring into jars?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I like to cool just a bit, then jar it.

[@77massage]

Ellen have a question I tested and made 2 jars it seems that I loose a full jar I make like a jar and a half. Do you know why I'm loosing a jar. Should I pour right away after I mix sugar scrub thanks.😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Hmmm, not sure what's going on there.... I like to jar it right when it starts cooling so the sugar stays suspended and doesn't sink.

No, it rinses very nicely. You could add poly 80, for a cleaner rinse
