RECIPE - Luxurious Emulsified Triple Body Butter w/ Cupuacu, Kokum & Shea Butters | Ellen Ruth Soap

[@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 😉

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

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.

[@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❣️

[@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🤎

[@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? 🙂

Sorry for delay, but no mine didn’t

[@demecadubose3034]

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

[@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🤎

[@patriciagardin544]

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

[@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

[@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🤎

[@rueedward]

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

[@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.

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?

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

@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.

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

Ur absolutely beautiful. No one believes me that I’m 47 yrs old. I’ve had a skin care routine since I’m 12. I don’t have lines at all not even when I raise my eyebrows or smile. I make sure I’m hydrated and I do not sleep on my face at all. I make body butter. True body butter and I have ppl contacting me all the time asking for my recipe which to me that’s ridiculous. It’s my best seller so I don’t why anyone would except a company to hand over a recipe that I worked on for over 2 years. I spent thousands of dollars to protect this. It’s a true body butter and I don’t use water or E wax or a lot of the chemicals ppl put in their emulsified body butter lotion. This looks stunning. But, I don’t just whip a butter together with a little bit of oil. Cause that’s nasty and anyone can do that. My son has horrible eczema on his hands and so does my husband and my other son however, my oldest he has mild Asperger and like me he does not like certain textures he cannot stand to have something greasy on him. He would rather his nipples cracking bleed before the sun greasy was my guinea pig for over two years. That’s why I named after him, and finally, I had the right oil essential oils temperatures exactly how long to whip it which believe it or not takes a very long time. I can see by looking at it when it’s ready if you take my body butter and I have displayed this on my TikTok and you put it on there’s no shine. There’s no oil there’s no shine. There’s no grease literally rubbing on and hand and it’s in your skin. So I use letters, beeswax starch, hard oil liquid oil that’s been infused for six weeks. I use my old like the Egyptians so it takes six to 8 weeks I am my essential oils by the drop. I literally count each drop , vitamin E and a preservative and then as I said temperatures make a huge difference and I whip it makes a huge difference. I promise you it is not greasy whatsoever. So that’s how I’ve been doing it all these years. I did change two butters out well actually I had Shea butter cocoa, butter, and mango butter, and it seems like I don’t know if I’m the only one that’s noticed this shape, butter and mango butter since the pandemic has been horrible so easily never had a problem with it until the last couple years I don’t know why it’s not so I changed out all three of those and I use cacao butter and Kokom butter and it’s perfect absolutely perfect.

Question: Ive been making the body butter per your recipe for a while. Last few times the butter is a little stiffer than usual. I do know that the btms 50 really thickens and stiffens my creams, (not a fan) but wondering if Im using a different emulsifying wax or steric acid that is making the creams heavier... I made several samples with different. amount of emulsifying and cutting it sown does help but the slip seems to not be as long. My whipped body butter is nice and creamy and stays that way but the emulsified is varying a lot. Any thoughts???? Thanks

The preservative, fragrance, and Vit E oil are % of the Body Butter ingredients (which add up to 100%) As in, they are "extra" ingredients on top of the base.
