How to Make SOOTHING CALAMINE CP Soap + Seize Fail 😳& Save 😅| Ellen Ruth Soap

[@marlenelopez]

I love to watch other people's failed batches. It makes me feel better about mine. I'm always so disappointed. Although, you really did pivot and came out like a boss in this one. Lady Boss GOALS!!!

[@botanicalwaters]

I’m grateful you recorded and shared! It serves as a warning on FO seizing but also is a great learning tool for what to do when something looks ruined: GREAT SAVE 💪🏻

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks 🥰 it was such a stressful batch😅

[@michellesteward8094]

You're my She-ro, way to think quick on your feet. They came out beautifully. Yay Ellen

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🥰 aww, thanks!

[@espinaypmd]

I made a calamine soap for myself when I went through chemotherapy. It has been wonderful on my skin 👍

[@janetsusan8633]

That nervous little laugh was crazy! Loved it and so appreciated the wonderful way you handled this! Thanks 🥰

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🤣 thanks 💕 it was challenge 😅

[@kasie680]

Like that strawberry FO!!! 🥺😂

[@traceysmith1652]

I had an Oatmeal, Milk and Honey fragrance do that on me a few weeks ago (from Mystic Moments here in the UK 🇬🇧) and as a relatively new ‘soaper’ - I didn’t stay quite as calm as you! 😂 Good save - we’ll done xx

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It happens to all of us occasionally 😅🥰

[@bretthaley301]

What an amazing save!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I have had soap trace fast and basically pounded it into the mould but never this fast!!!! This was a great lesson on a wonderful save.... thank you again!! Love all your videos as they teach so much!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for watching!

[@dianehedricks7860]

I was laughing and saying the exact same as you!!!! “THAT IS JUST CRAZY!” And you smacking the top, RIGHT AFTER POURING, I just couldn’t believe how crazy quick that was setting!!!!😮 You saved it BEAUTIFULLY!!!!

[@dacrazyblacklady]

Wholly smokes!! Talk about acceleration!! You did a beautiful job saving this soap. And the color was beautiful. ❤

[@barefootmama1985]

❤ amazing! What a beautiful soap. You're a joy and your positive attitude, sense of humor and wonderful laugh is such a blessing and a breath of fresh air! Thank you for helping us all see the positive side of mishaps!

[@Charbythedesert]

Nice save! Wow, that FO acceleration was wild!!

[@bagsandbling7564]

Really enjoyed your video, as always. I wanted to share that I had shingles a few years ago, and just fiy, the blisters were excruciatingly painful as they healed and a good friend of mine gave me a calamine soap bar and told me it would help. It worked! OMG, it not only releaved the pain and itch of the shingle blisters, I'm convinced it sped the healing too. I can't wait to try this recipe!

[@charmainattwood]

Holy moly that moved as fast as lightning but you saved it, well done Ellen.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It sure did🤣 Thanks💕

[@CFGossettAbbasHealingArts]

WOW! Your recovery was awesome girlfriend! There's always a way to recover from something that went in a direction we least expect it. Love your videos. Keep on keeping on.

[@auntiecoco6824]

Beautiful save and soap. I'm definitely feeling like a simple soap design is more of my taste....plus less dishes to clean up after lol

[@inkpearls3364]

Ellen ~ Absolutely GORGEOUS ✨

[@ml3110]

Wow! I am so glad that you read that review. I would have cried if I had not known that it set up fast and got stuck with that in the bucket! Thanks for sharing another one of your wonderful batches!

[@ml3110]

Well Ellen, I had a typo and I edited it to be spelled correctly, and It took away your love. ❤️ 🫢🥺

[@debravogt7139]

I accidentally added too much fragrance yesterday! That soap seized so quickly! I couldn't do anything. I cut it today! I had to use a knife! I am new to fancy soapmaking! I literally saw this video last week, so actually knew what to do! Thank You!

[@papiadutta4428]

Wow, the way you salvaged this soap... Thank you for sharing! Amazing stuff... More than the soap your nerve and staying cool and still making the soap look beautiful was mind-boggling! Absolutely steller work ❤️

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you very much!

[@teresam.5821]

Nice save and beautiful soap!

[@DI_Arpita_CY]

Pretty pink quick cement!! And that spatula. It HAS to be that spatula! She made it go fast. I was waiting for a "fail", but all is see is a SURE method for a quick batch! You are a genius! Mwah!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

[@cindymcguirethreetsmith1499]

I luv your videos so much that I retired from a medical career last year n decided I want to start to help people with skin problems. So I wanted to do organic lip balm, beard balm n face stick. Thank you for opening my abilities to help Others again.

[@beccandriani]

super pretty color!! and that's also exactly what I do if my top is very sad-looking lol i always tell myself "relax, just make another small small batch or melt some melt on pour". Soapmaking is really fun! Thank you for sharing your experience, Ellen

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes! Thank you!

[@viktorijacassau9900]

Прекрасная работа. У меня такое тоже случалось... Ваши видео огромная помощь для меня и вдохновение . Спасибо.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you!

[@tonia5182]

Hi Ellen, I'm a soap maker as well. I switched to Essential Oils because of that. But what I did used to do is leave my soap in the container for a minute until it gels a bit to stir everything up and then mold

[@debraclark4812]

Fantastic save...as soon as I saw the clumps I was like, Don't use that part!, Don't use that part!, just scoop it off!!! and then you did...again Nice Save!!!!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🤣It took me a minute to figure it out...

[@isabelladavis1363]

love the lessons I always learn here...thank you fr sharing! Stay Blessed!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It was sooo fast😬😅

[@kezru1581]

My gosh! 😅😲 Ellen that was amazing you got the majority in the mold! Love how it turned out, the blush pink of the Calamine powder looks pretty. 😁

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh thank you!

[@corysmama1]

Well I think it is a good idea to see what can go wrong, this is how you learn. I would like to see the entire process. Thank you for being such a good teacher..

I'm happy you saved the top! 😳😰😱😱😱 I've heard about it but never seen it so it's a first! Thanks for sharing!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for watching!

[@cliviascreations]

Love your thinking, I also do the same with misbehaving fragrances when possible, just make an small one unscented to cover up, Greta job. Love that color, hopefully stay that pretty after curing

[@PrimalPathWellness]

Wow! crazy! I had a men's shave bar seize up on me real fast and i was putting into individual molds, i was using a sandalwood essential oil that traces very fast. Next time I will use my column mold and slice them, it is amazing what one ingredient will do. I make a calamine lotion so excited to do a soap alos, thanks for showing it!

[@southernhemispheregal]

Wow they turned out so nice ! That was so exciting though. I would have screamed 😂

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🤣I was too stunned to scream😅

[@Marthawehrly]

Hi Ellen! Great save!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you! 😊

[@lkrsoapandsuch5767]

I’ve always wanted to make a calamine soap. Thank you for sharing your challenge. They are beautiful simple bars. Blessings to you 🌸

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks 🥰 I will definitely revisit these with a different F.O. 😅

[@FranklyNaturalBeauty]

I never experienced anything like this. Thank you for sharing. The soap looks beautiful and I love the top. Good fast thinking! 👍❤️

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much!

[@TonicMercantile]

Quick on yer feet! Good save!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks 🥰

[@sangsangasmrfoodasmr3379]

It's really pretty~ I've been making handmade soap, so I'm well aware of the emotion. The beautiful scent of soap you made is reaching Korea where I am. Thank you for the great video.😊👍

[@EllenRuthSoap]

💕🥰

[@tracymorris840]

Oooh my, I have had that happen to me. I use to stress about it, but like you say...rebatch. I think rebatch soap is just as beautiful! I have found with the clay, they accelerate. Drives me insane!!! Beautiful soap, really is a lovely color! Love watching your video's, best part of my day!!!❤

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for watching 🥰😅💕

[@pjmarks100]

this happen to me with Jasmine Blossom however i did not work fast enough AT ALL lmbo! u did great

[@StephanieTX]

Those turned out so beautiful!!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you! 😊

[@paulalynrider4009]

Oh WOW! That was real time?!!! But of course you always find a way to make it beautiful! And I'm glad you talked about the role of the calamine oxides in the fast trace too as I have a calamine soap coming up to do soon also. So thanks for that warning!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You are so welcome!

[@steelersgirl071961]

Wow, that hardened crazy fast 😳!!!!!! Never have I seen that before lol!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It was a stressful batch 🤣😅

[@gimomable]

That is insane 🙀 you handled it perfectly 👍

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks 😁

[@Debo_OG]

Wow, nice save! 😅 💕💕

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks 😅

[@devinjohnson4014]

You deserve a double like for that one 👏😮👏😮wow

[@EllenRuthSoap]

😅really had to work for this one🤣

[@sharon54431]

I love your videos, Ellen! Now I'm really curious to see how this fragrance works in hot process. It sounds so fresh and lovely!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It would definitely be worth a go in HP

[@theorgelmeisterakathesoapm8589]

That was a good save. Do remember, those fragrances work fine in HP and I've seen you do beautiful swirls in HP soap.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That’s a good reminder ❣️😅

[@deborahkeevers5600]

The oscar goes to you ellen, great save. I am going to try and get this clay or the ingredients separetly.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🥰Thanks!

[@roslynhita6149]

I am wondering what the bubble was like in the finished soap..fascinating video..Great Job!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

they actually had a great lather❣️

[@juliepodlewski9528]

Wow!😱That was wild!!! You always handle surprises like a pro! I’ve got to get a bar of this soap. My husband and I recently moved from Maui to Oregon and have had our first run in with poison oak!😫 We need that soap!💖

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It was a challenge to make🤣 but so worth it!

[@jhayneartoflife6830]

Great idea! It's a good time for this kind of soap. I need some calamine soap for all the bites I been getting this summer! And again, beautiful work!🤗👍👍👍

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes❣️ summer here = bug bites🤣

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

I love that! I’m gonna make it for my son. He works with my husband doing lawns and he’s always getting poison Ivy and we’ll bear up basically and he would love this. I’m gonna fragrance free. He will really love this I didn’t know u could get that in a powder for soap making. Very cool!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, it makes wonderful soap❣️

[@odalysramos9629]

It was amazing watching how you strategize your next step. Great preparedness❤️. Love all your videos

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@alisonbaker1963]

It turned out great in the end. I'm not sure I would have been so calm. Could we see a packing video some day?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks 😅 I’m considering a packing video, so many others have done them, I wasn’t sure if it would be of interest?

[@carolmanson4497]

You said Y’all a lot!! 😅😅😅 nice save!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🤣 when I concentrate on soaping I tend to repeat myself 😅

[@happy.homestead]

How funny! I live in Dixon, Missouri!! Loved watching this one to learn how you work your way out of a sticky situation. Great result! I wonder if you just made a soap without the additives, if it would have behaved much differently. I'm too afraid to ever buy that fragrance to find out! LOL Always enjoy watching your creativity!!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It was the fragrance, I've made this soap several time since then and it's behaved very well...🤣

[@Sassyglbeauty]

I remember when I was a kid having chicken pox and had to bathe in calamine. Would have been awesome to have had a soap like this.

[@luanncarpenter7739]

I am so grateful you posted this video!! I had the same result when I used this fragrance. I wasn't expecting it to seize and I was so disappointed. Thanks for showing how to handle a tense situation. You are amazing.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks 🥰 it was a stressful batch 😅

[@MrsNerfyattheendoftheworld]

Oh my goodness, that was wild! I feel like 75% of my soaps have been doing this kind of thing lately, as ice been experimenting with fragrances and additives like wine. I had to go run and place my order I'd been building before you hit 5 minutes 😂 It's so pretty! I'm fascinated with zinc oxide and have some on order, but my children will enjoy the benefits of your bar as soon as it arrives.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🤣 adventures in soaping😅 Thanks so much for ordering, hope you love it❣️

[@shelbylamothe8833]

Too funny... After your bath bomb video with calamine, I started thinking I might try making a soap. Looks great!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

🤣 the soap is really nice, I'll definitely be making it again with a different F.O 😅

[@jrbland18]

Very pretty

[@kimmikels4133]

I just this love the bath bomb, I was so soft and relaxed after my bath 💝. Will use the soap along with my next bath bomb ⚡️⚡️💫

[@EllenRuthSoap]

💕So glad you're enjoying them!!

[@locdcannin3624]

Hello there, just watched this video and felt it was amazing! Thank you SOOOO much for showing what goes wrong and how to correct it. What a learning experience 🤗 Since you’re making smaller batches now will you do more hot process or HTHP soaping? And if you have any more soap mishaps would you post them💞💞💞💞

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, I'll be trying lots of new things and showing them all... Both the good and the bad 🤣

[@d3k2p0]

I honestly don't think I would have believed something like that were possible if I didn't see it happen. That was insane.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It was the strangest batch I've ever made🤣

[@st-od8mt]

Love the video. I would like to use rose water in my soap. would you consider doing a video using rose water?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Rose water sounds lovely, I'll definitely think about it 🥰

[@NezumiSoaps]

I cannot believe what i just saw! How the batter you scraped from the bucket wouldn't even adhere to the initial pour?!? That was wild, for sure.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've never had this happen before 😅🤣
