Hi Ellen, I’m so glad you’re still going to stay on with soaping. I’ve never replied to any of your videos, but I have to tell you that you are my favorite. I’ve been watching for about a year and your tops on my list. Take care.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much!🛁

Hey Ellen! I just watched this, and I heard you say you have a deodorant recipe coming?!?!?! So stinking excited. I have made multiple deodorants and have yet to find one that works well for me, so I'm excited to see what your recipe is! Thank you again for all your videos! I always look forward to seeing them. You do a great job of making us feel like we are right there with you, which is always fun!

I found the same bottle n put a bath scrub in it

[@CarolinaGirlCreationZ]

I'm commenting again because I wanted to come back to your video for making bath salts ever since I found how much I love using bath bombs. I make handmade cold processed soap but wanted to try my hand at this bath product. My question is, how specific do our ingredients in this need to be measured compared to cold processed soap? Since I've been on my venture to mix different salts and essential oils for single bath times, I've not measured and have used what feels good to me but I'm kind of afraid of messing up my skin now that I've rewatched your tutorial. I also want to add colloidal oats and maybe some kaolin clay which I learned from in my soap from your channel. Thank you so very much Ms Ellen for always being so willing to share your techniques. I've purchased your soap bars in the past because I want to support your channel so I thank you again for any feedback you can offer. I'm sorry this is so long.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

One of the lovely things about bath salts is they are so flexible, you can customize it in so many ways. I just like to keep the mixed salts as the main bulk of it, and have the additves be a smaller portion of the total. You really can't go wrong, especially when it's going into a tub full of water and being diluted that much..

[@BeechHillSoap]

Hi Ellen! I’m wondering what you would retail the jars for. I love this recipe! Thank you, thank you!!😊

[@BeechHillSoap]

Thank you for this recipe, I can’t wait to try this! I’m also excited to hear the deodorant recipe coming up! You are awesome!!💐😘

[@authentichomestead]

Doing bath salts sounds so interesting. I know there is a soap calculator determining ratios when you make cold process soap, but I'm curious if there's a calculator when doing other things like salts, Bath bombs, etc.?

[@learning2no]

From what I understand the manufacturer of the fragrance oils and essential oils gives you information on each oil and what they can be used in and the amount.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Because there's no chemical reaction or process to bath salts, it's pretty flexible on ratios...🛁

[@monicaposner1761]

It is and the wine taste really good too!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes🍷🛁

[@michellebelverud1891]

Hi Ellen, I LOVE your videos! I'm making bath salts and wondered if you use the Vitamin E Oil in your bath salts?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I don't in a narrow mouth bottle because it may not come out easily. But in a jar it would be nice.

[@sandeeconn4671]

How beautiful is this!!! I love your channel! As an RMT, I love to incorporate bath products into my clinic - my clients love taking something like this home after I recommend it. I see you use lots of fragrance oils...do you use EO's at all? I have found when I use fragrance oils, they are very strong if I go by some recipe's I have found, so I mostly use small ratio's of EO's instead.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

So glad you're enjoying the videos❣️ I do use E.O's, but mostly F.O's. I do choose quality fragrances that are phthalate-free.

[@sandeeconn4671]

@@EllenRuthSoap I have a few fragrance oils, I believe phthalate free. Maybe I'm just using too much?

May God bless you abundantly! Regarding this recipe, I have everything but the milk powder. Can I make it without it? If so, would I add more colloidal oats to make up for it? How would altering the recipe impact the fragrance ratio? Thank you so much!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you❣️. Yes, you can skip the milk powder and add a touch more oats or another dry ingredient.

[@Missdaisymay83]

This looks beautiful! My biggest hesitation in making bath salts is that they absorb moisture. Do you ever find the need to use Natrasorb? Or is the dendritic salt enough?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've been very happy with how the dendritic salt works, and haven't had an issue with moisture👍

[@tashacote2387]

Is rhere another option for dendritic salt?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Any fine grind salt will do👍

[@curiousgirl18]

Hello, lovely video! Does anyone happen to know what we in Europe can use instead of dendritic salt? As far as I know we don’t get it here. Thanks in advance 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

A fine grind quality Sea Salt can be used as a sub.

[@pattiduken]

Hello Ellen. I have a question. If polysorbate 80 is not used, would the fragrance oil sit on the surface of the water?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, that is a possibility. But it's such a small amount, I don't think it would float around too much..

[@elizabethwhite8696]

does this recipe leave oily residue around the tub?

Regarding baking soda, it is irritating to your skin when it's in contact with skin in higher concentrations in things like a deodorant, but in a bath there is so much water to dilute the baking soda it'd be unlikely to cause irritation.
