DIY Recipe How to Make Super Moisturizing SOLID LOTION Bars + Wrap & Label Ideas | Ellen Ruth Soap

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

They look beautiful hun. I was just in the hospital with Covid pneumonia and I have congested heart failure. They didn’t think I was gonna make it. And here I am and I left the hospital 2 days early no less. They said I was a modern day miracle that they can’t explain. But while I was in the hospital scared and alone I watched ur videos and Holly’s, Katie’s, Karen’s, tiara’s and Tiggy’s video’s and it really calmed me and helped distract me. So thank u!

[@lauriewilson4741]

COVID is scary. You came out the other side. When I was at the height of sick, I promised to myself to make my “next life” count. So glad you’re doing better 😁

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wow 🙏 I'm so glad you had a great recovery 💕 stay strong & many blessings to you.

[@CindyRussi.]

I’m so glad you made it! What a blessing🙏🏼✨😀

[@jocelynelegault6946]

Thank God you are okey. What about now 1 year later. Our family was good no one was sick during Covid-19.

[@leonormarrero162]

Praise the Lord, you came out of that. I had 3 family members who didn't make it. Yes, Mrs. Ellen and other wonderful Artisan KZbin has the art of teaching to relax anyone. I am so glad her channel is still present.

[@amandakelley1331]

I have to thank you, Ellen. I've been blessed with so many sales on my lotion bars because of your recipe. I've made little adjustments here and there but the base recipe has been a hit since day 1. Most of my customers have never seen a lotion bar and as soon as they try one they are hooked. I recently got my products in a locally made-only store and I am selling out of lotion bars weekly! I wouldn't have this level of success if it wasn't for your generosity in sharing these incredible recipes. Blessings to you and thank you again!!

[@Rodmic-hd9pn]

Ellen Ruth is my is mynfavorite youtube soaping influencer. She's so motivating, reassuring and actually shares her recipes with you. That is true generosity.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh thank you!🥰

[@gatinhatinytigre]

Thank you! I wanted to learn how to make my own after spending $45 on a solid moisturizer from Sephora. Applying moisturizer in this format is such a relaxing self-care ritual. I'll be mimicking the smell of the sephora one by using lavender and chamomile oils at first for the scent. The product I'm referring to is packaged in cheesecloth in a bamboo box to preserve it. I highly recommend the cheesecloth wrapping! It's a nice, inexpensive addition.

As a flight attendant on ultra long haul flights, these lotion bars are a blessing! Since I don't have to worry about 100 ml liquid rule, it's really handy to carry around and moisturize dry hands. Highly recommended 🎉

This turned out great! I combined your recipes from the rose butter recipe, and just used two butters since my cocoa butter was a bit hard, and included mango. Also arrowroot, which definitely makes a difference. Yumm! Thanks for the recipe. I purchased Mrs Clause Cookies from Natures Garden, and it smells delicious. ❤

[@darcyandrews4649]

These are adorable Ellen - and I giggled at your coffee filter trimming. I was like : ‘why isn’t she cutting them beforehand?!’ But who am I to laugh - you reminded me of when I announced I was going to “work harder not smarter” 😂😩🥹

🤣 Yup, I sometimes take the long way around😂

These solid lotion bars really are fantastic! I purchased one a while ago and really hadn't used mine. The winter has taken a toll on our skin and I got mine out and my husband and I love it! The skin on our hands improved literally within hours.

Hi Ellen ,another great product you have shared with us thank you . Would you consider showing how to make a basic label i make bath & body products , mostly bath bombs for my family but would like to be able to label products as in even the name of the fragrance but cant seem to do it . If you could that would be amazing if not i totally understand you are very busy. Thanks for always inspiring me to try new things your such a delight to watch .

I first tried your recipe about a year and a half ago and loved it immediately! I changed it a bit and added it to my range three months ago - my customers love the solid lotion! A free interpretation of your recipe has conquered Germany, so to speak 😁. But the funniest thing is - just now my daughter's boyfriend (he's in the Army) sent his grandma a lotion to Michigan 😁 along with soaps he made for her himself 😍.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I love this 💕 small world 🌎❣️

I’m not sure if you’re still making these but I mak samples about that size I think and the 4-6 cup coffee filters work great without cutting 🥰

Ellen Ruth you are such a delight to learn from. I only wish I would have found your channel sooner. I simply love learning and watching. I haven't made soaps or bath & body products in ages, but I always loved the process. Coffee filters, What a fabulous idea! I have been thinking about Christmas ideas, and I believe your products are the perfect gift idea. Thank you so much for all your time, energy, knowledge, efforts and in-depth details. Bless you

You are too adorable Ms. Ellen! I absolutely LOVVVVVE this video! I've been looking for another idea to add to my body products (as a newbie) to be able to offer a 3 item set. Now I can do a bar soap, a foaming liquid soap, and a lotion bar!!!! So excited to try this recipe! Will the colloidal oats help keep the lotion bar from feeling too greasy also? I only ask because I have colloidal oats but I don't have arrowroot powder and I was hoping to try this out this weekend. Thank you so much, as always, for such a wonderful and educational video! I LOVVVVVVE you and and your channel! (Saving to favorites to refer to later!) ❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🥰 Thank you so much! Yes, the colloidal oats will help a bit, I think the arrowroot does a better job of cutting the "greasy feel", but the oats have great skin benefits too...
