[@monica2862]

Late 50? No way girl!! You look amazing!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@elianamckee]

Doesn't she?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh thank you!🥰

[@motorolarazrd7017]

Hi Ellen! The correct pronunciation is "ku-pu-a-ssu" and the correct writing is Cupuaçu. The letter "ç" has the sound of ss in Portuguese, like kisses 😉

[@shunawestern9153]

Ellen that cream looked gorgeous, you've hit the nail on the head with that one. Well done. 🥰🇬🇧❄️

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks so much 😊

[@careycowie1167]

Late 50's?? Wow, you look 30!! Your products must do wonders! Absolutely beautiful!!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh thank you!🥰

[@rainesonne1320]

I have been saying that for years! She easily looks like she's in her 30's! Ellen never ages! She looks amazing!

[@astr0hgirly]

You are exaggerating.

[@PrimalPathWellness]

I ended up making it with kokum, mango, and cocoa butter, my three favorites, turned out great!

[@kimrawls5955]

I use round silicone pads as a buffer in the bottom of the pot or container.

[@ramblinrosecottage5983]

I shrink band my salves and lotion bar tins and yes, a hair dryer works on the high setting.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks! That's good to know🤎

[@patriciagardin544]

Ellen, I love the way you describe everything. I am new to this. Also you are not afraid to give your recipes

[@demecadubose3034]

The hair dryer does work. Love this video, I'm about to make it now. Thank you.

[@rueedward]

thanks for sharing. appreciate. You video very clear, simple and easy to understand.

[@jennbama]

This is what i was waiting for you to make with that butter! Can't wait to try this one

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It’s sooo good! I hope you give it a try🤎

[@NaturalMackie]

Absolutely luxurious! It’s actually cupuasoo. In languages like French and Spanish there’s a little symbol that looks like a 5 cut off at the top that’s added under the c. It tells you that the c is a soft c. You may or may not have noticed some spellings of this word have that cut off number 5 under the c. Love your videos.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you for explaining the pronuciation so well🤎

[@heavenlyscentzsoycandlesth2850]

I tried this today and swapped out the rosehip for another oil and did cetearyl alcohol and it came out wonderful!!! So silky! Letting it sit for a few days to make sure there’s no separation

[@solebathandbody]

May I ask, what was the result? Did it ever separate? 🙂

[@heavenlyscentzsoycandlesth2850]

Sorry for delay, but no mine didn’t

[@mshortyscreations]

Ellen, I started watching your channel because I searched for a diy about a month ago for a body butter and from all the videos I found, to be honest with you, yours was the one that made me want to actually try to make it. As of now I have tried probably 4 or 5 different recipes from you including this one, and OMG I am so glad I did, I’m in love with the way it feels and for the scent, my daughter chose cherry blossom, but I only have essential oils as of now. It’s delicioso!!!! I’m so in love with the texture. But really is not only that, you make the videos very easy to follow, as a beginner in this area I was able to make the salt hand scrub, the body butter, I think also the bath salts I tried but those I prob did something wrong because it never dried on me lol 🤪 but is fine, and this one which I’m in complete ahhh!!!! About it!!! Thank u for taking your time to teach the way u do your products. And yes you do look very young, isn’t that awesome, jeje 😊 same here, I’m 47 and one time I had to push my emergency button for EMS to come and the guy when he ask for my DOB he couldn’t believe me. He thought I was 25 lol he made my pain go away for a split second. The Joy and happiness that comes from our hearts makes us feel and look younger!!!! God bless u!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you🥰 I'm so glad your enjoying the recipes❣️

[@maryward633]

Thank you Ellen love these videos ❤

[@Honeycombones]

I made a tiny 50g batch of this last night following the recipe exactly. It was a fun challenge measuring out such small quantities of all the different oils. The recipe made like a dream, so smooth with every last drop scooping easily out my mixing jug into my waiting amber jar. The finished body butter is lovely and thick just how I like it, and yes it goes on like silk and absorbs right into the skin with no greasiness! My butter took on a lovely warm yellow colour as soon as the rosehip oil went in. I love it and decided to add Bergamot as my scent. Will definitely be making this again and have fun playing with different oils and butters next time. Thankyou for sharing with us😃

[@EllenRuthSoap]

So glad you're loving the recipe 🤎

[@Cheftabathawycc8018]

I want to start a body butter business 2024. Do you think it's still profitable now? Also how much should I charge for 4 oz?

[@venturesr0963]

​@Cheftabathawycc8018 To calculate how much to charge, you need to calculate how much it costs you to make. Use a spreadsheet and calculate the cost of each item by the gram or ounce and track them that way when you use an amount in your formulations. Don't forget to calculate in your time as well.

[@ranikumari7044]

Can we use gaur gum and xanthan gum instead of cetyl alcohol and emulsifying wax for thickening and emulsifying?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've not worked with those so I can't really speak to that. I suggest trying a small test batch and see how you like the finish.

[@cliviascreations]

Ellen all I use is my trusty hair dryer I bought many many years ago. Got it at goodwill for &2.00. I even por a video long ago on my IG. It works! . I told you when you made the sopa. That cupuacu is miraculously better than many other butters and Kokum oh my words. I changed my formula from Shea to Kokum and didn’t tell my daughter anything. She came home and said did you write the recipe down mom? Of course I answered and she replied I don’t want nothing but this lotion until summer comes! It’s that 😊 Thank you Ellen!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Glad to know a hair dryer works❣️ And I am loving these new butters🤎

[@LanaDavis-m8j]

Girl, you do such a great job. I feel you have one of the very best cosmetic tutorials on u tube. I would make a suggestion. One needs to put the water phase into the oil phase. That way, there is less liquids and fats lost. Keep up the great work

Afternoon Ellen!! So I decided to make this recipe and I multiplied all ingredients by 5 and all is still simmering as I type. Can I transfer the water and oils to a larger pitcher to mix? I am guessing it is fine..lol I wanted to make enough for my farmers market this Saturday. Will make a few batches if this works out for sure! As always you rock!!

Ellen, I know you make oat water for lotions but I cannot recall if you have used it for soap? I was going to give it a try but I’m not as experienced of a soap maker as you and would feel better if you think it would be ok! 😂 As in replacing some of the water with oat water. I want clear looking soap so was going to skip the colloidal oats. Thanks!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, oat water or oat milk is fabulous in soap🤎

[@ivonvalle2683]

Loved the video. As I always say you give us so much information it’s so relaxing watching your videos. I’m going to try this recipe for this size, and then I’ll triple it to make a bigger batch. Thank you so much, love you Ellen.

Hi Ellen! Thanks so much for sharing this video, I can’t wait to try it. I saw that you weighed your oils & butters all in one place, do you think it would be a big difference if separately weigh out each ingredient and then add together?

You can measure them separately, and then combine👍

[@bridgettemayo7525]

I absolutely LOVE this recipe! I have made it many times and am now making a 12 batch recipe at a time. My question is, can I add the fragrance after it has completely cooled or do I have to add it while it’s warm to help it bind to the emulsifying wax? I like to split it up and add different fragrances. Thanks!!

@EllenRuthSoap I recently tried this emulsified body butter recipe and it turned out the best one ever! Thank you for sharing your talents. I do have one question, if I double the body butter and the oils in this formulation and leave the distilled water and glycerin proportion the same, will the body butter turn out thicker? If yes,should I also double the emulsifier proportion or should I keep everything the same except the butter and oils for a more thicker creamy texture? Appreciate your inputs here. Thank you 😊 I plan on making this for Christmas gifts this year.

If you're wanting to change the formulation, I suggest trying a few small test batches and see how you like the finish.
