I made this recipe for my daughter's boyfriend who has a beard...also, my husband who doesn't have a beard. Both rave about this salve and my daughters boyfriend says it is the best he has ever used on his beard and how soothing and moisturizing it is. My husband too, he loves how it makes his skin feel. Thank you so much Ellen, you truly have a sharing spirit and are a joy to watch!

I followed this last week to make my own Beard Balm! My only change is I substituted Grapeseed Oil instead of Olive Oil otherwise I went step by step. This was so easy to make, and the balm is absolutely amazing! The Oak and Whiskey scent smells so good. I also made a second batch with the same brand of oils and bought their Pipe Tobacco scent which was equally as amazing! Thank you so much for this video!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you! You too!

[@beerad21OX]

Ruth Ellen, thank you so much for your knowledge and kind spirit. I have used a couple of your recipes and my family members have greatly enjoyed them. It took a hot minute to figure out what you meant by giving me the percentages to figure out how to scale up or down the recipe. I work as a nurse, and some days, are extremely stressful. By listening to your voice, and making your recipes relaxes me, and give me comfort in creating something people will enjoy. I will always be grateful to you and your kind spirit...

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much for your sweet words🥰 Have fun making!

[@wandastokes9891]

I agree I copied her emulsified body butter and sugar scrub recipe , you gave me a idea to tweak my own recipe do you have a recipe for a face oil?

[@devora0815]

Babassu is a substitute for coconut oil I’m definitely trying this recipe today Thank you for sharing ❤

[@julieallison8508]

I made this today for my hubby who has a long thick beard. I changed the liquid oils for his skin. Omg he LOVES it❤ set up beautifully and in a 2 oz tin.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

💗❣️

[@NaturalMackie]

So many nourishing ingredients. Babassu would be a great substitute for coconut oil. It’s very moisturizing for hair. I learned this years ago from a young lady promoting products with it before it was a thing in North America. She worked at an orphanage in Costa Rica I think and the local women used it in their hair and you only need a little to keep it hydrated, particularly for coarse, kinky, coily hair. Perfect for beards because men’s face hair is more coarse and thick. Love your channel. ❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you for the great info on babassu oil!💕

[@firdowskruger9896]

I love making beard balms. Hubby loves them, especially if I make it with matching beard oil. Thanks for sharing, Ellen. 😘

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Love that! Gotta pamper those men folk❣️

[@soapsoilandsunshine3241]

This is definitely one I'll be trying. Thanks so much Ellen. Side point - I made your choc-mint lip balm a few months ago and have given away several tubes to family and friends. They all ABSOLUTELY RAVE about it (two people say it's the best they've ever used - one ladies husband, who is a cattleman, took hers and it never leaves his pocket, I'll have to send her another one). Such a beautiful simple recipe and yet so loved by my family and friends. Thanks again Ellen - you're a legend for sharing.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I'm so glad you're enjoying the lip balm recipe❣️

[@catspellies4072]

Where can I find that recipe please? I've looked all through them :(

[@gonzalez-valdez8043]

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I don't have a beard oil video yet, but will in the future👍

[@colinwhitley5778]

Hi Ellen, just want to say that last weekend I made a batch of 24 of these beard balms the way you did. It really is such an easy recipe to follow and was also so nice to make. The only difference I did with mine is that I used candelilla wax instead of beeswax and argan oil instead of jojoba oil. I used 8 different aftershave inspired fragrance oils and all turned out brilliantly. Thanks for a wonderful and easy beard balm recipe 😊

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wonderful!💕

[@kimmatura3564]

Both my son and son-in-law have beards. They use beard balm & beard oil all the time. I need to make this for them.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I love this fomula, it's so nice on beards❣️

[@shunawestern9153]

Ellen I loved this. My hubby has a full beard and as of yet he hasn't found a balm he likes, so this is something that I would definitely consider trying out. I am only just starting making soap and doing melt and pour which I think everyone starts with. If you could recommend any good recipes I would be very grateful.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I'm not an expert at MP, but Bramble Berry has some great resources on it. Have fun making!

[@tammibaker]

I'm just starting out as well and my husband also has a full beard. He was so happy when I told him about this recipe but asked if there was a matching beard oil. Any help with making a matching beard oil would be truly appreciated.

[@dawnannele]

Good afternoon...I love your video..very informative...do u have a recipe for a bigger batch?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You can multiply this recipe to any size needed.

[@debbiestelle3181]

This balm looks wonderful. I am going to make some for my brother. I am sure he will love it. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I have a question regarding lotion bars. I made a batch and for some reason I increased the oils and butters and they are too soft. If I melt them down slowly and add more beeswax, and maybe cocoa butter and/or kokum butter would they be useable? If not I will just pitch them now and try again later. Thanks so much for your help and sharing your vast knowledge. Debbie

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, you can remelt (on low temp) and add a bit more beeswax.

[@christophershreiner5114]

I made my first beard balm. Just threw it together. 😬 I’ll plan better next time. But I used vitamin E oil and homemade comfrey extract in it. It’s working pretty well but I want to formulate it better especially for scent but the beard is softer than with commercially available beard balms.

[@aliciahunt274]

Could you do a beard oil recipe?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, I'm working on it now😉

[@EDCBeardCo]

Ellen question for you, what type of shea butter do you use? Natural? Refined? etc? And thank you so much! You help inspire me to try creating new beard products!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've used both refined and unrefined, I like them both. It's really just a personal preference and whether you like the natural scents..

[@mikecardo]

I'm going to try your recipe for my next batch of beard balm. Do you have a video showing how you clean up your tins, cups, bowls, tins, etc. after making balm or butter? I like to reuse my tins especially, but never seem to get them as clean as I want.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

A cleaning video is a great suggestion! Thanks.

[@mr.hotdogseniorrescue6823]

Hi Ellen! I made this except l made it vegan & added sunflower oil instead of jojoba oil. My fiancé will be my Guinea pig. 😂 I’m giving him 2 weeks to try it & see if it will work on his skin & beard. ❤️💕

[@PrimalPathWellness]

Babassu oil is excellent sub for coconut oil, same texture but many more skin benefits

Yes! I can't wait to try it in another formula, and test it out for myself💕

Could you use castor oil in this? Your videos are magical thank you for sharing so much!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, you could replace some of the liquid oil for castor.

[@mr.hotdogseniorrescue6823]

My fiancé has extremely sensitive skin. We’re getting married right around the corner. Anyway, l was reading several beard balms he bought had a lot of fillers like alcohol, which has known to cause dryness. Anyway, l got tired of him wasting money on beard products that hasn’t improved or made his beard softer. So since l’m frugal like Ellen & natural products l told him l got a recipe from Ellen Ruth, his like “when did you have a friend named Ellen Ruth.”😂 Anyway, Ellen l’ll have to try your recipe except l’m absolutely in LOVE with parrila (sp) wax vegan, vitamin E & organic cedar essential oil. We’ll be combining our finances once we’re married so told him l’ll make the next beard balm. So even though l’m not following your recipe exactly but watching you make the video it looks less intimidating. Sorry, I’m totally rambling here. I found all my products & l even found 2oz tin sliver cans at the Dollar Tree very similar to the ones on Amazon but $0.04 less & no shipping. Boy LOVE a bargain. I’ll let ya’ll know how it turns out. ❤️💕🎊🎉🥳 Very excited & thankful to learn something new as well as useful. 🤓💓💖💝

I do love a good bargain! Have fun making❣️

[@leonormarrero162]

I love your recipe. However, I only have Olive and Grapeseed Oils. Is this will make it smooth? At what temperature I can add the fragrance? My nephews all have bears. Always asked me for a lotion or balm. This will be great for them. Thank you Mrs. Ellen

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, you can sub any liquid oil in this recipe. No specific temp, just enough to melt the beeswax.

[@cynthiawashington9001]

As I have said in the past I love your videos. I do have a quick question. Why do soapers weigh on a scale your solids and your liquids it is confusing my chemistry in my head?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It's easier to melt the hard oils and butters first, so you're not overheating all the oils..

[@EmeraldsHoneyComb]

I have a coconut oil allergy and I’m able to use babassu oil it has some of the same properties of coconut oil I have read on Google some people who are allergic to coconut may have an allergic reaction but I haven’t experienced one

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've not worked with babassu oil, but have heard that it's a great sub for coconut.

[@dbabini1]
