These were a huge thing back in the day especially in the adult items

[@kimmatura3564]

I haven’t heard of massage candles until this moment!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yay, I’m not the only one late to the game🤣💕

[@bnalejandro7]

Me too.

[@christinedecarolis6999]

I was gifted two candles when I first started my career as a massage therapist. They were icky, synthetic bombs! Can't wait to try out your recipe. This might make a lovely upsell item.

[@Jennifer.cardona]

I discovered massage candles years ago on a trip to Las Vegas. There was a little shop at the Venetian called Basin and they had soap, bath bombs, message candles…all sorts of beautiful skin loving products. I haven’t gotten one in a long time but now that you have reminded me of them, I think I’ll make some.

[@Sooz1234]

Thank you so much, as always, for sharing recipes and tips with us all. It is very generous of you.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

My pleasure 😊

[@PrimalPathWellness]

I use that wax! and also the purple one for wax melts which I just got into this past year. I have never heard of this either, so excited to try it!

[@DWB1177]

I’m glad you did this I have been trying to make these candles for 1 year but I hate that smoke smell . So hopefully you will have a solution. Thanks so much

[@venturesr0963]

I had heard of these, I just hadn't considered delving in to try them. I love that you are giving these a whirl!

[@discokaren]

The cute little vessels with the pour spouts and handle are PERFECT!! What an awesome idea!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@kathleenentezari2561]

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much for posting this fantastic how-to! 👏👏👏 I had been searching for massage candle vessels to no avail for a while now! Great idea to use these glass coffee cups. Perfection! Great tutorials and love your presentations, very clear, thorough and so pleasant to watch! 💖

This is also my first time I’m hearing about lotion candle, I’m surprised and now I really have to try it . Thanks for sharing this video ❤🤗

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Hope you like it!🕯️

[@heidihughes5120]

Can wait to see you make this with tallow. I have made these both in cable form and as wax-melts.

[@dianneg-phila]

Pretty cool! Ty

[@jaynegodwin3412]

I make candles as a hobby and have seen these massage candles around but found out how to make them am so glad you could share this recipe with us,so definitely going to try this out.Thank you for sharing 😊xx

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You are so welcome!

[@elainem7722]

I was today years old when I first heard of massage lotion candles! I guess the point is to have warm lotion to use during a massage...?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, it's a warm moisturizing experience👍🕯️

[@JazzyMamaInAK]

You made the pot into a double boiler. 😂 It's okay. I have a friend who supplies me with beeswax from their hives, I mix that with my oils; you just need a low ratio and enough other butters that will be solid at room temperature.

[@esw9063]

Omg, thank you so much for this wonderful video.❤. I came to know about this maybe a year ago. And I wanted to try, but the container was the issue. Anyway, I heard that there is something called a serum candle, and it's different from a massage candle. Honestly, I don't know whether there is a difference or not. I also saw people using just butter and oils to make the candle instead of wax. I don't know how it might turn out. I would love to see you doing more projects on massage candles, please. It's wonderful. Thank you.❤

[@soapyfluffs]

Love these will have to make! , AS a reminder as I didn't see it mentioned since these are a candle also you will want a warning label on the bottom as well right? Cheers all and thanks for all your amazing content ellen!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, thank you for that reminder❣️🕯️

[@cliviascreations]

Hello Ellen, I make lotion candles most of the time fragranced with lavender essential oil. Mine are nested on a cast iron cauldron and I topped them with botanicals. I LOVE them and the first time I heard about it was on an pretty old video from BB. I have never used beeswax, but yes for tallow. You know I love tallow anything Thank you

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for sharing!!🕯️

[@RichardHicks-vk3vb]

Enjoyed watching your video. I had heard of it but now know how to make it. I am also thinking of making a pune tar soap. Have u ever made it or have u considered making it.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've heard of pine tar soaps, but haven't made them yet..

[@melanielawson4127]

I'm going to make some with beeswax and cocoa butter this weekend. I'll let you all know how it goes!

[@maybellgreen]

Massage candles are awesome but you jus gave me an idea with massage lotions 💡 what if we added just a tinny bit of an emulsifier or emulsifier blend to the wax or butter phase 🤔 the candle would emulsify on wet skin and voila "a true lotion 😊" would be formed.

[@joseliamf868]

I HV known about this massage candles but I HV never used all those butters. I'll HV to try Ur recipe

[@clairewright8153]

Never heard of these before, they make great gifts and a teacher gift. I’d lay the beaker in between a stack of books with the appropriate gap to put the label on.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's a great suggestion for the labels❣️

[@KyndalDimon]

Hello Ellen, what are the black crosses called that are helping your wick stay straight up? Thank you for your content it's very helpful

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Those are wick holders from Morouge Canada

[@KyndalDimon]

@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you so much! I found them in the US. I appreciate your help and your content

[@bernadettesew3384]

Is the soya wax same as we use for candles pl? If not could you tell which wax to buy to try this recipe, please?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, it's a pure soy "candle" wax👍

[@sujachristodoss518]

Hi Ellen thank you for introducing lotion candles. Never heard before. It will be a Christmas gift for my friends and family this year 😅 Can we add skin safe color to the candle? Thanks Ellen.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, I think a skin safe color would be good.🕯️

[@sujachristodoss518]

@@EllenRuthSoap thank you so much

[@margaretmelendez8203]

I've heard of them, but have never tried them. I've made soap, but never candles. I'm interested and wondering if coconut wax would work as well. Any thoughts?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I have a feeling it would be really nice👍

[@LisaSaliture]

Love the little pour candle vessel idea! Would you mind providing a link to them on Amazon? Thank you:)

[@EllenRuthSoap]

In the description box😉

[@griffinrose2011]

Ive had a massage candle before but Ive never seen a recipe for them so Im glad youre making this.

[@janettepilkington7832]

So how or when can you use the lotion part of the candle

[@EllenRuthSoap]

So for me, I light it when I'm getting in the shower and when I come out it has a nice melt pool that I can use to moisturize.

[@skuldarchleone]

It's a myth that shea is heat sensitive. Sheanuts are cooked on very high heat to get the butter so it can handle the heat. In fact, when sheabutter becomes gritty It's recomended to heat and hold it on about 80 degree celsius for 20 minutes and then cooled dowm rapidly to avoid grittiness. Baraka shea butter has a good tutorial on tempering shea on their fb page. Cocoabutter on the other hand is the one that cant handle high heat or beeing heated to long. Heat destroys the crystalline structure of cocoabutter and it can happen that the butter never solidifys again

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for the great info.

[@clarencehershberger2058]

Suggestion for applying labels: can you use two books or pieces of wood lying parallel so the handle can stick down between them and not roll?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Great suggestion❣️

[@niccoleholmes567]

Hi Ellen, thank you for sharing this wonderful creation. Does a person need a special license, say a cosmetic license, to sell lotion candles. I make soap but would love to branch out to other things but I don't know what items need a cosmetic license.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

If you're in the US, you don't need a special license. Just make sure your labels are up to code.🕯️

[@niccoleholmes567]

@@EllenRuthSoap thank you so much. I hope you have a wonderful summer.

[@katiebursey7005]

I have never heard of massage lotion candles either and I would have been nervous to try it, so thank you for doing these in detailed information video! 🥰 Since you gave us ideas of "left over wicks", I'm going to have to hide them from my boys 🤔😂🤣

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh yah, my boys loved to start bon fires🤣🔥

Omni hotel sap uses these for massages then they will give you the remaining candle when finished.

[@beautybeats400debra9]

We have these in the island but they're used for various health issues.

They’re so good🕯️💕

[@YvetteThompson-yx9tt]

HELLO I AM NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL #NOT A DAY WITHOUT JESUS 🙏

[@joniperiu8308]

I never heard of lotion candle

[@joseliamf868]

Soy wax is the best as it's not a very hot wax so it doesn't burn Ur skin. I HV never heard of doing this type of candle with another wax.

[@joseliamf868]

While tallow may work just know what tallow is is enough reason to not use it

[@JazzyMamaInAK]

🕯🪔 If you let your candle burn until the entire top liquifies, you'll avoid tunneling (this applies to all candles in jars) HTH

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's great advice🕯️
