Recipe & Step by Step How to Make 🕯️ MASSAGE LOTION CANDLES 🕯️ | Ellen Ruth Soap

[@MrsMack-bw5qd]

CVS used to sell them 25 years ago. I remember buying and using them. They smelled so good and felt amazing

[@Rhondas_Flippin_Life]

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

[@Zone8-jk]

I wonder if you could add magnesium or menthol or something for back pain into the mix. I bet it would feel nice on an aching back.

[@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.

[@willareeneacealbertini975]

Me too

[@mitchy524]

Me neither

[@DanaNelson-fd4fu]

Heaed about them about 4 years ago but never really dove into the steps involved! Soon though

[@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.

[@christeef6840]

Ellennnn!! I had no idea your hubs was (is 😉) a Marine!! My son just finished serving 6 years!! Semper fi! ❤🇺🇲

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Semper Fi❣️

Mom was by me when my hubby was in Korea in 1972. Army artillery. Boy do l understand having a baby without our husbands. 🤗💜

[@GingerMeowMeow-b9z]

I had never heard of these before! I wish I had watched this video before so I had made enough for Christmas gifts. These will be great for winter.

[@shunawestern9153]

I haven't heard of them either, do most of us live in the dark ages or something 🤣. Must admit Ellen haven't watched for a while and it was so nice to hear your voice, and watch you do one of your demonstration recipe's, it's just that your so professional and accurate with all the details even down to the tiniest. Looked super good, and I thought a great idea. Keep at it girl. See you later...🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾🏡🎄❄️🎀💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much🥰

[@heidihughes5120]

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

[@Sooz1234]

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

[@EllenRuthSoap]

My pleasure 😊

[@alanablankenship3117]

I love that you only were able to print 2 labels…. I didn’t even know that was an option - I will have to see if my printer will allow that! I can’t wait to try this recipe… looks fantastic ❣️

[@sabrinastreet5337]

I absolutely love this! What a great gift too! Starting on Christmas presents!!!!!🎉🎉

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, these would make a great gift🕯️💕

[@camerongeorge4246]

I would love to see more tallow recipes! Great video as always!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Tallow recipes are on my “to do” list👍

[@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.

[@tanianieves2673]

Thank you so much for sharing your acknowledgment and your amazing work. Love your simplicity and transparency.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much!🕯️

[@discokaren]

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

[@EllenRuthSoap]

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!

[@ltconyers78]

I worked for a company called Massage Warehouse back in 2007. We sold these. They didn’t seem as popular back then but they seem to be making a come back. I was thinking of making my own and, low and behold, your video pops up! I love all of your videos.❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It's a great project and they really do feel great on the skin!🤎

[@aprilja02]

Aww I miss Massage Warehouse. I used to work for the original owner before he sold the business. I was there in 2005. Best call center and owner I ever worked for

[@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! 💖

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You are so welcome!🕯️

[@GelenAriasnewton-jp7ie]

I love making massage candles 🎉❤...I used coconut oil

[@willareeneacealbertini975]

TY for sharing this wonderful video and the wax comment below, is helpful. Time to experiment and buy these little beakers. This will look so cute with my homemade soaps, balms and shampoo bars. Your shave soap is waiting on one ingredient to be made 👍🏼👋🤗🧡

[@edhen2214]

Waiting for more videos on massage, and lotion candles, please

[@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

[@takasiapetty962]

Thank you for the recipe for the massage lotion candles. I am taking chemo therapy and it dries out the skin. I am going to try to make these candles and hope it will moisturize my skin. Have a blessed day

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I hope you give it a try, it will feel very good on your skin💕

[@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👍🕯️

[@00honey000]

Those look so amazing, I made them years ago and loved making them. I need to make them again. ❤

[@deborahlh7747]

I was gifted one years ago and loved it. I will try to make some for Christmas too.

[@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.

[@KSKAZNative5]

I had never heard of a message candle, what an awesome idea! Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@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!

[@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❣️

[@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!

[@joseliamf868]

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

[@ivonvalle2683]

Omg I loved this. It looked really good on your skin. I went to your Amazon and ordered 2 for me to try this. Love it you always bring good things to all of us, Tysm

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I hope you love them as much as I do🤎

[@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.❤

[@QueenHill4118]

Yayyy!! I’ve been waiting for a candle video 🤗 bonus for a lotion one at that!! Thanks Ellen ❤

[@marthagichia]

Wow! That was great. I have never seen how they are made or never used it. Looking forward to try it.❤ thank you for sharing.

You are so welcome!

[@jrbland18]

Awesome. We love you❤❤❤

[@deborahangel7094]

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!🕯️

[@vernahrris5601]

I have just made these, Ruth Ellen. I even bought the little beakers you used. I hope mine turn out as great as yours have.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wonderful! I hope you love them ❣️

Thank you I love this video heard of these years ago I will be making some.

I've been wanting to try these!!! Thanks for making this doable... ❤😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Glad you like them!

[@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!!🕯️

[@elizabethtorres8266]

Love it! Will be my next project!

[@silkemueller1391]

1. How do you clean the equipment? 2. How would you include the fragrance if you use a big mass wax melter? Thanks for your help. Love your channel! Oh do you have a CP shampoo bar recipe? I can only find mp in your video library

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I use my heat gun to melt wax on the tools used, then wipe with paper towels and wash with hot soapy water. If I'm doing several scents, I'll pour off a portion and scent it, then repeat.... And no, I haven't found a good CP shampoo that doesn't leave build up, so I don't have a recipe.

[@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❣️

[@karlad3213]

I've never heard of it either 🤔 looks awesome ❤️

It was very lightly scented, so it’s subtle.

[@michaeljonn2397]

Nice work. how many days for drying?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I like to let all my candles cure for a week before using.

[@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..

[@rachelbrand9078]

Ellen, first of all, thank you very much for your videos!! I do have a question, do you think this recipe could be used for lotion bars? I ask because this recipe isn't as oily feeling

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I haven't tried it in bar form, but I don't see why not?? I suggest a small test batch and see how you like the finish.

[@paulaandrodneycornish3423]

Hi Ellen, just a question with regards to labelling, do you need to put a candle warning on the product ?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes👍 I forgot to show that, but any candle product needs them.

[@springbreezeaftertherain]

Dear Ellen, how long would u let a massage candle cure? Are 3-4 days enough if no adding essential oils?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, I think a few days to a week would be a fine cure time.

[@tanianieves2673]

Hello! Ellen. Can soy wax be substitute for beeswax? Just wondering. Thanks

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I talk about it in the video, beeswax has a very high melting point and would be really hot melted on the skin..

[@tanianieves2673]

@@EllenRuthSoap oh ok . Thanks for the details. Happy Holidays!

[@laurieclayton5718]

Ellen how much fragrance oil would you use? I made a batch and they turned out beautiful but no smell. if I wanted to add a small decorative wax flower on top would I use the same 415 wax? And if I wanted to make melts still 415? Thank you so much. Your video was so helpful!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I usually fragrance candles at 10%, but I always read reviews for cold and hot throw on scents.

[@laurieclayton5718]

Sorry to ask but 10% of what? You did 8 oz so how does that equate to how many oz of FO. I’m new and learning. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

[@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.

Hi Ellen! Can I know which specific kind of soy wax do you use? It is 444 or 464? I tried to check the amazon description but I couldn’t find it.

[@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👍

[@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.

[@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👍

[@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.

Hi Ellen!! I'm trying to make these beautiful lotion candles. I've tried to use your code for morouge canada, and it's not working?! Is it because I'm residing in canada 🇨🇦. These look delightful xo

It might be, mine is for the USA side. They do have a Canadian branch, but I don't have a code for that.

[@ramonarwatson]

Hi Ellen! First of all, I’d like to say thank you! Your energy is so positive, always and I appreciate you sooo much! ❤️ Second, a quick question: do you think it would be okay to sub the almond oil for olive oil? I have that infused with both, calendula and Chamomile. Thank you Ellen! God Bless you and yours! ❤️🙏🏻

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, I think the infused olive oil would be wonderful in this👍

[@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.

[@cathihatlestad7659]

Would you please spell out the company name of the scent that you used in this recipe. I can’t understand what you were saying and when you held it up, it moves around too much and it’s too small for me to see it. Thank you in advance. You didn’t list everything in the instructions.

[@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.
