You were sent from heaven. You didn’t have to do this. ❤

[@KathleenEdge]

Thank you for doing a video like this. You've just proven that you dont need to spend a million dollars to make your own soaps. ❤

[@Soul.7]

Watched this about FIVE times. Gratitude. 👍🏾✨

[@Skylightatdusk]

Addicted to looking at soap making videos.

[@artfulflower]

I know this video is super old, but I wish I had learned about this when I was a teenager and was making my own deodorant, perfume oil and hair oil. I would have chosen to open a small online shop and sell handmade soap bars instead of college. I'm drawing, painting, writing and photographing now, so the artist and handmaker in me hasn't left, LOL! Thanks for sharing this! You're making me want to make my own soap and indulge in my love of soap bars, especially handmade soap bars!

[@cherylhampton1449]

Thank you! I am a novice soap maker and I am tremendously nervous about production. Your calming voice, relatable instructions are soooo helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share/teach what you have learned over the years.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You are so welcome!

[@para-diceranch5648]

This is the most fun I've had shopping since last Christmas! 😄 So generous of you to take time out of your day to share some great tips for everyone. Great job!!! 💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 💕🥰

Uuuu

[@Septemberwitch24]

@@EllenRuthSoap The essential oils are on the candle aisle and what you're referring to, not to use, is the candle or fragrance oils. But I buy ALL of my essential oils from the candle aisle! Wisk does not have an H! Soap has to cure for at least 4 weeks before using. It's still hot after 24 hours!

[@rosablancas9349]

Thank you so much Ellen Ruth. This is going to be my "Return to Soap Making", after 14 years. I used soap making as a way to help me after losing my mom. I made tons of different cp soap, gave it all away then one day I stopped. But I'm back!!! I found you, with your lovely and generous energy. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe, taking us shopping and for the tips and tricks. See ya soon 💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wonderful! Welcome back to the world of soaping❣️

[@cassietheconqueror]

Hi Ellen! This video got me to make my first bar of soap yesterday! I was stuck because I couldn’t find the lye locally. Turns out, I was looking in the wrong aisles! I also picked up the glass measuring cup for my essential oils and the tea strainer. Great finds! I’d love to see more vids like this about budget equipment you’ve found. Thanks so much! I enjoy your vids!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

💕 congratulations on your first soap 🎉

[@cassietheconqueror]

Thank you so much! It came together so quickly and easily. Now, I’m itching to cut it...only 7 more hours to go. 🧼

[@debrahenderson798]

This is why I just love your channel. You help explain great ways of soaping for the beginners. Bee Naked Soapery 🐝

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🥰 thank you 💕

[@galejohnson8086]

Yep, as a kid it was my job to stir the soap with a wooden spoon on the stove. It was poured into a big wooden box, put in the garage with a wool blanket over it. No such thing as a stick blender then. No fragrance, st it kinda smelled bad on the stove (animal lard) but smelled neutral when dried. We used to grate it for doing my dad’s filthy work clothes in the wringer washer.

[@michael7324]

My Walmart uses Lard. That also makes a great soap.

[@mickipattoncannon9183]

Thank you so much for showing us how to make soap from shopping to the recipes. The shopping trip was most thoughtful!

[@daisy1441]

Thank you for including footage of shopping for supplies. It really does help. 🙂🦋

Thank you for making something that seems so exclusive so accessible! I just purchased everything from a soap supplier. I wished I watched your video first lol it was a lot of fun going through Walmart aisles and seeing everyday things turn into something so useful for soap making. New sub here!

Thanks so much for watching💕

[@janerymus3524]

Your so awesome! Thank you for taking the time to go shopping for the ingredients, to show how to make homemade soap without all expensive ingredients..

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@LaurelsCurls]

This is amazing!!!! Thank you so very much for showing us how to get started with soap making in an economical way. I'm just getting started making some bath soaps for myself (just for fun) so this is fantastic to help me get my feet wet! I will be checking out your channel to see what recipes you have. Hopefully you have a demonstration of how to make soap with the Aloe Vera juice that you showed us from Walmart!!!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you 🥰 soap making is so fun 💕

[@happy.homestead]

You just blew my mind! I have been watching soap people for a couple of months on here and you're my favorite. This one came up as a recommendation tonight and I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. haha I am SO excited to go buy these common items from Walmart and make my first batches of soap. I've been looking at my cream and half and half containers for months and thinking, I bet I could use these for soaps or candles... and BAM!, you show me how!!! I am over the moon with excitement. But shortening, olive oil, lard, turmeric, paprika, etc., etc., etc., etc.,.... WOWWWWWWWW!!!! My eyes were popping!!! You are an amazing, kind, funny, thorough, and knowledgeable soaper. Thank-you SO much for all you share. You truly simplified everything in this video. I live in mid-Missouri... the sticks.. haha (from Cape Cod to here!) and THIS is the type of soap my friends will truly enjoy trying. Thank-you again!! You are AMAZING!!!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh, thank you so much💕 I'm glad you found me, and I hope you give it a try❣️

[@happy.homestead]

@@EllenRuthSoap As soon as I can get out from under all the snow we got in the last two days, I'm going to Walmart!! Thanks again. I'm quite sure you've created a soap monster in me. hahahaha :-)

[@debbyfowler8349]

Thank you for this video. It was very informative and helpful. You are so talented...even with milk cartons as molds you make beautiful soaps.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you 💕

[@cheryl739]

I started out that way, also. I would spray rubbing alcohol on my knife to help me cut bars and remove easier. But I only started out small, back then, so it worked great till I was able to get a block cutter. Boy was I happy when I got my first wire cutter. 😃. Very nice tutorial for beginners. Thumbs up 👍 and Blessings. 💕💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Spraying the knife is a great idea 👍. 🥰💕

[@dovedarby]

Love shortening in cold process soap! Makes such a balanced bar.

[@agoogleuser6323]

[@cherylnorise57]

Hello, I really like the shopping at Walmart tour. I sometimes have to get items for my soap at Walmart. I just bought turmeric from there. I also like the soap you created. Milk carton molds I’ve never seen that before. Interesting. Fun little project to do. Be safe and have an awesome day

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I shop there too, if I’m in a pinch😉

[@sylviacastillo1509]

[@marilyntyger5253]

Elken, this is a fantastic tutorial. I know a few people who make soaps with shortening, have tried them, and they are great soaps. Also, I am glad you explained why not to use fragrances in candle section. Not everyone knows they are not skin safe. Some essential oils are also in that section and I wouldn't use those either.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you🥰

This is fantastic. We are in lockdown and I wanted to make soap but not spending money on expensive equipment and ingredients as it is only a once off. I used a food processor to get the batter to trace using the whisk attachment! I'm making a herbal tea soap next. I'm going to use the containers on their sides.

Thank you for this!! I am just beginning with cold process soap making. I've ordered some oils from well-known soap supply companies but I really wanted a less expensive list of ingredients as options as I learn. I've used the soap calculators but can't quite get the hang of it. So I appreciate this video and the actual recipe soooo much.

[@auntiecoco6824]

I made a Crisco soap and my friends thought I was crazy because I just started soap making. The soap was soft when I took it out the mold because I forgot to add my sodium lactate. The soap was so conditioning and I used cucumber melon for the fragrance. Let me tell you ...they loved it lol also I love your channel🤗

Going to pull the trigger on my first batch tomorrow 😮 making sure that I have everything lined up and ready to go. I only have EVOO, so I'm waiting to see how it affects the color (I have both purple clay and paprika in mind, but plain is fine just to get it done). I have peppermint and a citrus blend essential oils for options. A little nervous, but excited 😊 PS: I found the same lye in Fred Meyer back with the plumbing stuff like plungers and shower supplies.
