Dear Ellen, I got interested in making natural products at home and started watching YT tutorials. Most creators never give out their recipes and I understand their reasoning. You're the only one I came across who gives their recipes for free. Thank you so much for that! I love watching your videos, you're a beautiful lady in-and-out. All the best to your business, God bless! Subscribed.

If ya sprinkle or dust a little mica glitter or cornstarch in the top of your moon press, they won’t stick like that and you either have a little shimmer or dust off the cornstarch when dry… works great!

That just reminded me of the time my cousin and I were in the woods and she had to pee and she grabbed the menthol tissues, not the regular one. I think she yelled so loud that she scared me and the rest of the animals. I can't wait to get some!

I put Plastic film Wrap so it won't stick inside and I have the design that I desire. What I also do is put the bowl on top of the scale and then I tear it.

If you want to get a really nice impression with the moon cake press then you need to put just enough product in to cover the bottom (what will be the top of the steamer) and press it down well with your fingers to get it in the design really well. Then finish filling like normal and then flip it over and press it well on the sheet pan.

First, I love watching you! I also live in Tennessee so it helps that your ingredients match my humidity level. I don’t make soap, but I make everything else you make. My specialty is shower steamers but I also do bath salts, beard balm, lip balm, lotion bars, scrub bars etc. I’m trying to perfect a foaming coffee scrub bar, I wish you had a video on that. (If you do I haven’t found one). I make coffee scrub that my clients LOVE… but it’s messy. I’d love to do a foaming / soapy bar… but I use melt & pour goat milk soap. I’m still trying to figure out the right amounts. Anyway, thank you for all you do! Even though I don’t make soap at this moment. It’s fun watching you… and your other products are fantastic! You inspire me!

I really like the addition of menthol, but you don’t need to add it.. Scented retention is a big topic, since these aren’t used for skin contact it’s okay to go heavy on the essential oils.

Thank you for all this information and recipe. I was wondering why people were using kaolin clay or cornstarch & other such powders....now I know! I really appreciate having an explanation of why I need certain ingredients. And I love the packaging, they're so adorable. Bless you.

great video! would the steamers degrade if i just placed them unwrapped in a jar with a screw lid? i don't have a heat sealer - i was just going to place the steamers in a jar to give as a gift.

I think they'll be okay, as long they aren't in a super humid area..

Where did you get your heat machine and what is it called? Are the bags 6x6 shrink wrap? Thank you have a great day.

Hello . I would love to make these... I noticed you weighed the Moon Press before adding the product. I need to understand why, and how to properly do so? May you please explain that process? I enjoyed this video. AMAZING.!!! Thanks in advance

I weighed the press to tare the scale, so I would know exactly how much bath bomb mix to use so they all weigh the same.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I have a question, do I need to watch the humidity before making shower steamers?

They’re like bath bombs, so yes, lower humidity is better

I would like to do the shower steamers without the menthol chips. What changes in the recipe would that be.Thank you!

I would suggest just leaving them out and seeing if you need to add a touch more liquid to get the right texture for pressing...

I made your shower steamers following your recipe. I used a hard molds and a silicone mold . The ones in the hard mold did great but the others just crumbled out of the silicone mold. Do you think they might of dried out too much before I got them all molded up? Could it be possible that I can spray some witch hazel on the crumbled pieces and remold them? Or do you have any other suggestions? It’s about half of the mixture that crumbled.

I do prefer hard molds for bath bombs and steamers... You can save the crumbles for a "sprinkle" type. I'm not sure how it would work if you added more liquid...

I made a few batches following this recipe and they came out great! I would like to try some scents that might not go with the menthol... Can you omit the menthol? Or do you have a recipe without menthol? Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing your video...i hope you don't mind me asking a question....I made these today but they have reacted a little tonight as I left them to dry... Just wondering was it because I made them too wet? Maybe that's a fact question but just thought I'd ask🤭
@EllenRuthSoap
@EllenRuthSoap 2 жыл бұрын
Yes, if they’re reacting it’s probably because they’re a bit too wet.. next time try a tad less oils or bump up the kaolin (or arrowroot…) just a bit.
