[@pamcotterman7073]

I always hit the thumbs up before I even watch the video ~ cause I just know it’s going to be magnificent 💝

[@TACOinFLORIDA002]

Same! ❤😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks💕

[@ernestinekennedy3768]

Same here too lol. I just love Ellen and her recipes!

[@FranklyNaturalBeauty]

My daughter wants to make this lotion. She loves the oats in it. It looks very nice and creamy. Again thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us.❤

[@vernahrris5601]

I will try this...I've always wanted to put in some homemade oat milk but didn't know if it would be safe or not. YOu have inspired me...again! Thanks Helen Ruth.

[@juicyswanderings2702]

The recipe was wonderful! I made 3 batches - different scents. I soaked the oats longer on one batch and found that the extra 'starchiness' of the water made that batch a lot thicker. Thanks for sharing!

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

Thanks for the info Juicy. I was going to make a more concentrated version by blitzing the oats, hmmm, might have to rethink this one. I'm looking at also adding coconut water and use a coconut lime fragrance.

[@lynnbiggs9565]

@juicyswandering2702…How long did you leave oats in to get it a little thicker?

[@shaquandadenise]

That's because it starts to create a thin gel that thickens as it cools.

[@susiebilk9905]

Have to find me a pump jug!!

[@jhansi1402]

Can't believe u said u have 6 grand children... u are so beautiful 🎉❤ love to age as u do ...❤ ur beautiful soul reflects as u are sharing so much of quality content

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much!!🥰

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

Hi Ellen. Just wondering if it would be possible to blitz the cooked water/oatmeal to make a slurry then push through a nutbag. Would that be too concentrated? Also, living in arid Queensland, my soap room sometimes gets to over 35 degrees C (95F). Not fun soaping with an apron and long sleeves on.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, you could make a more concentrated oat water/milk👍

[@mlangelfire268]

Could you add honey instead of distilled water to bring it back up to 400 grams?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I think the honey would leave a sticky feel on the skin..?

[@RCGriffinSoapCompany]

Hi Ellen, I made this yesterday and I added on ounce of calendula extract in the cool down phase (I doubled the recipe). I also used an essential oil blend instead of fragrance oil. I’ve got friends testing and they love it…as do I. 😄. Love your recipes!! Thank you so much!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh, the calendula extract is a great addition❣️

[@debstockdale3270]

Ellen. I just gotta say, I love your channel. I make soap and lotion just for me and give away everything as gifts. I don’t actually sell anything. Just a fun hobby for me in my old age. I love how you explain everything. Once again,great job!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you❣️

[@skuldarchleone]

You can also strain with a coffee filter 😊. I dont trust my washing mashine enought that there are no residues of detergent left in the fabric.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's a great suggestion! Thanks💕

[@elainem7722]

I was wondering if I could do that. Thanks!

[@starlaspears7460]

this is not a beginner's recipe...none whatsoever. Now if u r into making salves etc let's say some years u would know thru trial and error..why u need a scale just sayin..I would like to have a simple lotion perhaps...seriously.

[@stephanieperry1815]

Amazon has oat meal straining bags i use to make the grandbabues oat milk

[@bellabates4512]

Normally, I would make a 10% solution from my lotion/cream to test pH. Wondering if you skip that process because yours is more liquid than cream?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I do random pH testing on my lotions, but not every time..

[@LeighF-vl3ep]

Hi Ellen! I've tried the oatmeal potted version lotion as well as the easy pump lotion recipe and yesterday I tried the milky oatmeal lotion in a pump bottle. I'm trying to figure out why when I rub in the lotion it is not absorbing quickly but leaving a white cast all over my skin? After a couple of minutes it does absorb. With the milky oatmeal version I did do the 9 oz of water 1 oz of e-wax and 2 oz of oils (Avocado and Sunflower). I did the oat water and colloidal oats and used soft and silky type e-wax. When applying it's white all over and once it has absorbed it feels a little sticky. Any ideas why the white cast and sticky feeling? I intend to try some other of your recipes, maybe body butters, but I'm perplexed as to why so far all three recipes I have tried is basically giving me the same result of a cast and stickiness with the milky oatmeal version. I'm very new to this and trying to get this perfected. I'm not giving up just yet. I hope you can suggest something(???). I love watching your videos! I appreciate you very much! Thank you!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Hmmm, that is perplexing?? Since it's happened to all 3 recipes, I'm suspecting one of your ingredients may have an issue?? Perhaps try another makers recipe and see if it comes out for you?

[@vivianspringer5142]

This brought up a memory from the 70's when our Family raised our own Honeybees. That lead to having all kinds of products from the bees, such as honey, beeswax, propolis, and even bee pollen, and at times royal jelly! I decided to make small quantities of lip balm, ointments and creams. I rendered my own beeswax in the kitchen ending up with crude measurements of approx 1 ounce with a food scale after pouring the warm wax into plastic ice trays. We had no internet at that time. I relied on old recipes from farm & country books I may have purchased at beekeeping events, state fairs or in newsletters from our Texas Beekeepers Association. I loved the end results using the fragrant beeswax, a little honey, almond oil...and at times an addition of the other extra special ingredients from our own bees! My Children remember this experience and now craft and practice the use of natural products in a variety of fun and healthy ways to enhance their lives. This last Christmas my 25 year old Grand Daughter gave gift pkgs with beautiful labeling of 3 fragrant personal sprays to use in our homes. Made with essential oils and natural ingredients. We all loved them and still try to pass on to each other new ideas! ~ Your lotion is a special find for me! I prefer to use natural clean based products. So, I will utilize your info as a treasure to share with our Family and circle of Friends! Thank you from SE Texas. ❤ 🍯 🐝

[@TACOinFLORIDA002]

Thank you, Ellen. Your recipes are always amazing. ❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You're welcome💕

[@KellyJelly9976]

I have to be honest. Why aren't you my neighbor? I would love to be your soap and lotion guinea pig. This lotion looks so lush. Thanks for sharing. Love from California.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

😊 thank you

[@beerad21OX]

I always get so excited when I see you post something new! Im like yayyayyya I can't wait to see what Ellen has for us. Your channel brings me happiness.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much🥰💕

[@kathykat7592]

I just always enjoy your videos Ellen! Have you ever made a lotion using tallow? I had a friend ask me. Thank you!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Here is a tallow recipe I've been enjoying: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6nIp4ZunMp4j8U

[@jobo8819]

Love this recipe too. Cant beat oatmeal, so soothing and nourishing. This recipe is perfect for my daughters as they more lotion girls cause always racing about and in a rush. Thanks heaps Ellen, so going to make this for them.

[@Skinsensations_Edith]

Do you have to stick blend the oils and water? What if I just hand mix or use a small mixer like the kind to dissolve micas in oil? I will be trying such a small amount I think the stick blender is too big

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, you can hand mix it or use a small whisk...

[@kristinsmythe4316]

Ellen, i notice you dont use stearic acid or cetyl alcohol in conjunction with the wax. May i ask why? Ive learned they go together,,, but your lotions and creams font have it and look luxurious!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Those ingredients do work beautifully together. They aren't required to get a really good lotion, it's just another formula.

[@kristinsmythe4316]

@@EllenRuthSoap great thank you so much!

[@miriamspears7862]

Ellen, Thank You for sharing your amazing recipe! I made this lotion last night. For the 43 g of oils I used avocado oil and other oils low in comedogenic rating. I am fairly new to the lotion making world and very exited to learn!

[@griseldamartinez3583]

How many months does this cream last with its preservative?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I suggest using within a year

[@craftcrazy67]

I ordered me some online labels and got them today. They gave me an extra sheet of each type of label I ordered 😊

[@greenbarn2213]

Great video again Ellen ❤ what is the difference between Colloidal Oats and Oat Water Ellen? Oh and I totally use the Pro Tip, it definitely works 😂❤ I would be very interested how to upload a purchased font on Online Labels, I couldn’t figure it out…..obviously, I am tech challenged also…lol

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I like to use both the colloidal and the oat water, but you can you one or the other and it's still very soothing and oaty.

[@Sooz1234]

Love watching a pro in action, and thank you again for sharing your recipe in such detail. I have resisted making recipes with preservatives due to skin allergies, but might have to give in and try a few of yours.

[@lindabuchanan4576]

Hi Ellen ! This is the best hand lotion I’ve ever made , my fragrance oil is hello Sugar, the scent is absolutely wonderful, cannot keep this in at all.thank you so much, if I could give you a big hug I would

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wonderful! So glad you're enjoying the recipe❣️

[@KathyCollier-Mehl]

Thank you for your help with your recipe. You are awesome. Can't wait to try this recipe.

[@kavitatewari2628]

Love the recipe Ellen❤️ made 2 batches cos we can’t get this lotion enough..! Just wondering if I could double - triple this recipe as is?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes👍 you can double or more.

[@kavitatewari2628]

Thanks so much❤

[@lindabuchanan4576]

Hi Ellen! Was at a Market this week, I got all the vendors to try this lotion they absolutely loved it, thank you so very much I absolutely love watching your videos ,you are The best

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Fantastic!💕

[@jesscardona2335]

You are the best! I’m going to try the recipe for my daughter.

[@angelbaby1811]

Mine was great but it thickened up a lot after about 3 days. Usable, but it won’t get through the pump. Feels amazing though.

[@SandraCarrapiett]

Hi Ellen, thank you so much for sharing both recipes. Will be making for my family. I'm glad I found & subscribed to your channel. Love from Perth West Australia ❤ 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks so much for the sub❣️

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

Hi Sandra. G'day from North Burnett in Queensland. Nice to meet someone from across the continent. Isn't Ellen great. You've gotta try the lip balm recipe. It's amazing (it's the minty choc one). So gorgeous, friends I've given it to rave about it.

[@victoriaaranciiba8688]

Genial la receta. La hice sin fragancia. Quedo muy bien. Suave, sedosa. Gracias por enseñar. Un abrazo 🥰

[@janinehoffart5314]

How exciting!!! One day I want to learn to make all of my own home made soaps, lotions, shampoo & creme rinse bars and lip balm! I have only just started this September...soap bars are first. I have so much to look forward to. ❤

[@RED-cy7ig]

What a nice gift for the grandkids.

[@lisastearns6870]

Watching your videos is my new obsession! Can you do a video explaining how to know the amount of scent to use in a product? You've talked about it before, but it is confusing!

[@AniaBumba]

This is a wonderful recipe. You explain everything so well.

[@naturallymello2272]

❤❤❤

[@cheryl739]

Ellen, this is great for the summer months as a pumping version of your oatmeal lotion. Can't wait to try this one, also. Thank you so much. Cheers 👍💕

[@wisconsinlifeoutdoors6467]

All I can say is OMG! I absolutley love this lotion! I was trying to pair up a lotion to go with my massage bar soaps and just thought I would try this. I scented it with oatmeal milk and honey, same as my soaps, I love it! Thank you for sharing!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You are so welcome!

[@kasie680]

You are such a fantastic teacher!! You should do lessons, you could make a fortune ❤

[@BrittanyLabrador]

How fluid is this supposed to be once it cools? It's almost too watery, but that really shouldn't effect the lotion itself right?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, this formulation is super fluid. But it's fast absorbing and very moisturizing, it's a great lotion for summer.

[@karenurbanski5004]

Thanks for this. Made it and turned out amazing!!

[@LarBud05]

Hi just wondering is there another preservative I could use besides optiphen? I live on an island in Canada and that type of ingredient is not available here and I looked up the price and it’s expensive to ship. Are there any oils or other ingredients I could use to preserve it? I found a cost Ed drive local one called DMDM, what are your opinions on that? If not, how long would it last without it? Do you think? Thanks ☺️ been binging you all day. Looking for some new product ideas

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Germall Plus is a good option... Bramble Berry and Wholesale Supplies Plus have several to choose from.

[@para-diceranch5648]

Hey sweetie! I'm going to try this. What type of Oatmeal do you use (Quick oats?)

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I used regular rolled oats to make my oat water.

[@evelynliner8069]

Hi Ellen Are you labels waterproof, I'm having problems with my labels. Thank you in advance ❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I don't use waterproof labels, but they are recommended. I just don't have a printer for them..

[@lynnbiggs9565]

Hi again Ellen, can you please point me to an easy to use Lotion Calculator, I tried Lotion crafter and can’t figure it out, I want to learn how to create my own, but I have researched and can’t figure out how to calculate how much e-wax to oils and glycerine to oils, thank you so much for your help ❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Here's another good one: wholeelise.com/calculators/lotion-calculator/

[@evew8532]

Definitely going to try this. Looks amazing 😊

[@ricardolastre8240]

Thank you for another wonderful video!

[@ivonvalle2683]

Omg just love it, im going to make for my 4 yr old grandson, Question what size beaker did you used I went to Amazon they have so many didn’t know what size to buy. Ty so much for sharing. You are the best.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I think I'm using the 400ml beaker..

[@laurie8166]

Hi there, are you able to make this with goat milk and if so, would it have to replace entirely the amount of water or half and half?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've not done goat milk lotions due to the amount of preservative needed to keep it stable.

[@janetr6339]

I love your lotion recipe, mine came out a little watery. I don't know what I did wrong.. but it still works great..

[@EllenRuthSoap]

This formulation is very milky and thin, it's super lightweight👍

[@mollymatovich6033]

My family and I loves you recipes, we use many of them all year round. Do you have a summer time lotion that travels well in your purse, that will not melt?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Here's a video with a great year-round lotion recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqDZlnWsq8xpsKs

[@samanthachristensen672]

Is there any specific kind of oats you should use? Are regular old fashioned oats from the grocery store ok?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, just regular old fashioned oats are great👍

[@54wmaria]

Can i use this as a face cream? and if not which ingredients should i substitute?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes👍 I would just be mindful of the fragrance, use less or use an essential oil.

[@gingersnapsoapsstuff5925]

Does pump lotion need water? Can something else be used so we don’t have to add optiphen?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

For a pump lotion, you do need a liquid, which requires a preservative.

[@Julie-we3ll]

Thank you Ellen for sharing. You are awesome. Love from GA ❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much!

[@missmaww.]

Oat is so amazing

[@aprilwhitsett9602]

Could I use colloidal oats mixed into the distilled water instead of making the oat water?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes👍

[@MsKkimberlious]

Hi Ellen, do I have to use a preservative in the lotion?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, you do .

[@NadiaJoseph]

Ellen where did you buy the pump bottles?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wholesale Supplies Plus

[@karenurbanski5004]

Love this recipe. What was the MP you brought the water phase and oil phase before you combined

[@karenurbanski5004]

That was temp not MP

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I don't go my temp so much as when all the solids are melted, and the water phase is simmering.

[@justme8935]

Thank you so much, Ellen, love the ratio for a lighter version. May I ask how you managed to print just 1 label on the sheet? Have a blessed weekend with your family 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

meastro labels has an option to set up your print page..

[@justme8935]

@Ellen Ruth Soap thank you so much for the fast reply. I will definitely look into that. I as of right now print a whole page for a few labels and that's very expensive 🫤

[@TotsnTwins]

Great video! I am going to have to try this. I'm a big fan of oatmeal-based lotions since I have super sensitive skin. Could you use oat milk in place of oat water?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I haven't tried this with store bought oat milk, so I'm not sure on the shelf life..

[@IrishQ76]

I've use goat milk in lotion all the time. With preservative I always say use within a year of making. I'm sure oat milk should be the same. 💞

[@beautybeats400debra9]

What if you have colloidal oat powder.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You can add it to the hot water.

[@chizzymaria5885]

What type of oatmeal is this please

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Regular rolled oats.

[@melissapeterson4202]

Looks lovely!

[@hillyssoapsbathandbody3129]

Love how light the lotion is! What’s the shelf life of the lotion? I’ve always been interested in making lotions with fresh foodie ingredients but have been intimidated by the uncertainty of the shelf life. Thank you for sharing!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

If you're using fresh ingredients, I suggest using within a year of making.
