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.

Hi Ellen Ruth another thing to be aware of with preservatives is the ph of the cream. Optiphen works best at ph above 6.

[@DK-qj7cr]

TFS…did I miss the part where you added the optiphen? 🤔 I saw you cooling it down but what temperature do you add it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you! 🤗

[@sarahansaripk]

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!

[@sarahansaripk]

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 :/

[@EllenRuthSoap]

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.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

or you could increase the emulsifyer here and decrease the water just a bit...

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!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I love hemp oil in lotions, you can replace a portion or all of the liquid oils with it.

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?

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!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I have not worked with those emulsifiers, so I'm not sure on the usage rates??

[@LeighF-vl3ep]

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

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]

I've not had an issue with white cast?? Did you simmer the oats well to make the "oat milk"?

[@LeighF-vl3ep]

@@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??

[@annbjrgeliseseljeflot1536]

I love watching you channel on KZbin! 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🙂

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I suggest using within a year of opening. And for personal use, I do use my fingers and have no issues.

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?
