DIY Recipe How to Make Super Moisturizing SOLID LOTION Bars + Wrap & Label Ideas | Ellen Ruth Soap

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

They look beautiful hun. I was just in the hospital with Covid pneumonia and I have congested heart failure. They didn’t think I was gonna make it. And here I am and I left the hospital 2 days early no less. They said I was a modern day miracle that they can’t explain. But while I was in the hospital scared and alone I watched ur videos and Holly’s, Katie’s, Karen’s, tiara’s and Tiggy’s video’s and it really calmed me and helped distract me. So thank u!

[@lauriewilson4741]

COVID is scary. You came out the other side. When I was at the height of sick, I promised to myself to make my “next life” count. So glad you’re doing better 😁

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wow 🙏 I'm so glad you had a great recovery 💕 stay strong & many blessings to you.

[@CindyRussi.]

I’m so glad you made it! What a blessing🙏🏼✨😀

[@jocelynelegault6946]

Thank God you are okey. What about now 1 year later. Our family was good no one was sick during Covid-19.

[@leonormarrero162]

Praise the Lord, you came out of that. I had 3 family members who didn't make it. Yes, Mrs. Ellen and other wonderful Artisan KZbin has the art of teaching to relax anyone. I am so glad her channel is still present.

[@amandakelley1331]

I have to thank you, Ellen. I've been blessed with so many sales on my lotion bars because of your recipe. I've made little adjustments here and there but the base recipe has been a hit since day 1. Most of my customers have never seen a lotion bar and as soon as they try one they are hooked. I recently got my products in a locally made-only store and I am selling out of lotion bars weekly! I wouldn't have this level of success if it wasn't for your generosity in sharing these incredible recipes. Blessings to you and thank you again!!

[@gatinhatinytigre]

Thank you! I wanted to learn how to make my own after spending $45 on a solid moisturizer from Sephora. Applying moisturizer in this format is such a relaxing self-care ritual. I'll be mimicking the smell of the sephora one by using lavender and chamomile oils at first for the scent. The product I'm referring to is packaged in cheesecloth in a bamboo box to preserve it. I highly recommend the cheesecloth wrapping! It's a nice, inexpensive addition.

As a flight attendant on ultra long haul flights, these lotion bars are a blessing! Since I don't have to worry about 100 ml liquid rule, it's really handy to carry around and moisturize dry hands. Highly recommended 🎉

Also arrowroot, which definitely makes a difference. Yumm! Thanks for the recipe. I purchased Mrs Clause Cookies from Natures Garden, and it smells delicious. ❤

I LOVVVVVVE you and and your channel! (Saving to favorites to refer to later!) ❤
