Recipe & Step by Step How to Make 🕯️ MASSAGE LOTION CANDLES 🕯️ | Ellen Ruth Soap

[@JazzyMamaInAK]

You made the pot into a double boiler. 😂 It's okay. I have a friend who supplies me with beeswax from their hives, I mix that with my oils; you just need a low ratio and enough other butters that will be solid at room temperature.

[@willareeneacealbertini975]

Good to know, TY 👋

[@Rhondas_Flippin_Life]

These were a huge thing back in the day especially in the adult items

[@melanielawson4127]

I'm going to make some with beeswax and cocoa butter this weekend. I'll let you all know how it goes!

[@priscillatse1332]

Please do! I would love 🧡 to know how that turned out.

[@zzkc786]

Please do update I am thinking of trying it out too

[@SoulberryApothecary]

How did it go? Did you have to use more oil to keep in softened up?

[@Jennifer.cardona]

I discovered massage candles years ago on a trip to Las Vegas. There was a little shop at the Venetian called Basin and they had soap, bath bombs, message candles…all sorts of beautiful skin loving products. I haven’t gotten one in a long time but now that you have reminded me of them, I think I’ll make some.

[@kimmatura3564]

I haven’t heard of massage candles until this moment!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yay, I’m not the only one late to the game🤣💕

[@bnalejandro7]

Me too.

[@willareeneacealbertini975]

Me too

[@sabrinastreet5337]

I absolutely love this! What a great gift too! Starting on Christmas presents!!!!!🎉🎉

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, these would make a great gift🕯️💕

She did mention the recipe in the description of you scroll down you will see it. Essential oil you can use any you like

[@willareeneacealbertini975]

TY for sharing this wonderful video and the wax comment below, is helpful. Time to experiment and buy these little beakers. This will look so cute with my homemade soaps, balms and shampoo bars. Your shave soap is waiting on one ingredient to be made 👍🏼👋🤗🧡

[@tanianieves2673]

Thank you so much for sharing your acknowledgment and your amazing work. Love your simplicity and transparency.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thank you so much!🕯️

[@shizuko91]

However judged your double-boil is so extra. Its a method that someone turned into a product, no one NEEDS one 😅

[@elainem7722]

I was today years old when I first heard of massage lotion candles! I guess the point is to have warm lotion to use during a massage...?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, it's a warm moisturizing experience👍🕯️

[@joseliamf868]

Soy wax is the best as it's not a very hot wax so it doesn't burn Ur skin. I HV never heard of doing this type of candle with another wax.

[@christeef6840]

Ellennnn!! I had no idea your hubs was (is 😉) a Marine!! My son just finished serving 6 years!! Semper fi! ❤🇺🇲

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Semper Fi❣️

Mom was by me when my hubby was in Korea in 1972. Army artillery. Boy do l understand having a baby without our husbands. 🤗💜

[@christinedecarolis6999]

I was gifted two candles when I first started my career as a massage therapist. They were icky, synthetic bombs! Can't wait to try out your recipe. This might make a lovely upsell item.

[@YvetteThompson-yx9tt]

HELLO I AM NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL #NOT A DAY WITHOUT JESUS 🙏

[@rachelbrand9078]

Ellen, first of all, thank you very much for your videos!! I do have a question, do you think this recipe could be used for lotion bars? I ask because this recipe isn't as oily feeling

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I haven't tried it in bar form, but I don't see why not?? I suggest a small test batch and see how you like the finish.

[@venturesr0963]

I had heard of these, I just hadn't considered delving in to try them. I love that you are giving these a whirl!

[@MZCamilleB]

Omni hotel sap uses these for massages then they will give you the remaining candle when finished.

[@skuldarchleone]

It's a myth that shea is heat sensitive. Sheanuts are cooked on very high heat to get the butter so it can handle the heat. In fact, when sheabutter becomes gritty It's recomended to heat and hold it on about 80 degree celsius for 20 minutes and then cooled dowm rapidly to avoid grittiness. Baraka shea butter has a good tutorial on tempering shea on their fb page. Cocoabutter on the other hand is the one that cant handle high heat or beeing heated to long. Heat destroys the crystalline structure of cocoabutter and it can happen that the butter never solidifys again

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for the great info.

[@kathleenentezari2561]

Oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much for posting this fantastic how-to! 👏👏👏 I had been searching for massage candle vessels to no avail for a while now! Great idea to use these glass coffee cups. Perfection! Great tutorials and love your presentations, very clear, thorough and so pleasant to watch! 💖

[@EllenRuthSoap]

You are so welcome!🕯️

[@МайскийВетерок-р2в]

I did beeswax massage candles and oooh boy.. the melted wax burns the skin and is very hot for the hands 🤪

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Oh ya, that's a pretty high melting temp..🤣

[@МайскийВетерок-р2в]

Dear Ellen, how long would u let a massage candle cure? Are 3-4 days enough if no adding essential oils?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, I think a few days to a week would be a fine cure time.

[@paulaandrodneycornish3423]

Hi Ellen, just a question with regards to labelling, do you need to put a candle warning on the product ?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes👍 I forgot to show that, but any candle product needs them.

[@heavenlyscentzsoycandlesth2850]

Great video! How was the HT for the ones you made for yourself?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It was very lightly scented, so it’s subtle.

[@robynnemohammed3256]

Hi Ellen!! I'm trying to make these beautiful lotion candles. I've tried to use your code for morouge canada, and it's not working?! Is it because I'm residing in canada 🇨🇦. These look delightful xo

[@EllenRuthSoap]

It might be, mine is for the USA side. They do have a Canadian branch, but I don't have a code for that.

[@robynnemohammed3256]

@EllenRuthSoap awwe, that's too bad. Well, it won't stop me from making them!!! Just thought I'd inquire 🥰

[@KyndalDimon]

Hello Ellen, what are the black crosses called that are helping your wick stay straight up? Thank you for your content it's very helpful

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Those are wick holders from Morouge Canada

[@KyndalDimon]

@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you so much! I found them in the US. I appreciate your help and your content

[@maybellgreen]

Massage candles are awesome but you jus gave me an idea with massage lotions 💡 what if we added just a tinny bit of an emulsifier or emulsifier blend to the wax or butter phase 🤔 the candle would emulsify on wet skin and voila "a true lotion 😊" would be formed.

[@discokaren]

The cute little vessels with the pour spouts and handle are PERFECT!! What an awesome idea!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@esw9063]

Omg, thank you so much for this wonderful video.❤. I came to know about this maybe a year ago. And I wanted to try, but the container was the issue. Anyway, I heard that there is something called a serum candle, and it's different from a massage candle. Honestly, I don't know whether there is a difference or not. I also saw people using just butter and oils to make the candle instead of wax. I don't know how it might turn out. I would love to see you doing more projects on massage candles, please. It's wonderful. Thank you.❤

[@jrbland18]

Awesome. We love you❤❤❤

[@elizabethtorres8266]

Love it! Will be my next project!

[@DWB1177]

I’m glad you did this I have been trying to make these candles for 1 year but I hate that smoke smell . So hopefully you will have a solution. Thanks so much

[@janettepilkington7832]

So how or when can you use the lotion part of the candle

[@EllenRuthSoap]

So for me, I light it when I'm getting in the shower and when I come out it has a nice melt pool that I can use to moisturize.

[@joseliamf868]

I HV known about this massage candles but I HV never used all those butters. I'll HV to try Ur recipe

[@JazzyMamaInAK]

🕯🪔 If you let your candle burn until the entire top liquifies, you'll avoid tunneling (this applies to all candles in jars) HTH

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's great advice🕯️

[@alanablankenship3117]

I love that you only were able to print 2 labels…. I didn’t even know that was an option - I will have to see if my printer will allow that! I can’t wait to try this recipe… looks fantastic ❣️

[@QueenHill4118]

Yayyy!! I’ve been waiting for a candle video 🤗 bonus for a lotion one at that!! Thanks Ellen ❤

[@camerongeorge4246]

I would love to see more tallow recipes! Great video as always!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Tallow recipes are on my “to do” list👍

[@PrimalPathWellness]

I use that wax! and also the purple one for wax melts which I just got into this past year. I have never heard of this either, so excited to try it!

[@TheBrownqutie]

Thank you I love this video heard of these years ago I will be making some.

[@00honey000]

Those look so amazing, I made them years ago and loved making them. I need to make them again. ❤

[@heidihughes5120]

Can wait to see you make this with tallow. I have made these both in cable form and as wax-melts.

[@KSKAZNative5]

I had never heard of a message candle, what an awesome idea! Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@edhen2214]

Waiting for more videos on massage, and lotion candles, please

[@soapyfluffs]

Love these will have to make! , AS a reminder as I didn't see it mentioned since these are a candle also you will want a warning label on the bottom as well right? Cheers all and thanks for all your amazing content ellen!

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, thank you for that reminder❣️🕯️

[@margaretmelendez8203]

I've heard of them, but have never tried them. I've made soap, but never candles. I'm interested and wondering if coconut wax would work as well. Any thoughts?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I have a feeling it would be really nice👍

[@deborahlh7747]

I was gifted one years ago and loved it. I will try to make some for Christmas too.

Love the little pour candle vessel idea! Would you mind providing a link to them on Amazon? Thank you:)

[@cliviascreations]

Hello Ellen, I make lotion candles most of the time fragranced with lavender essential oil. Mine are nested on a cast iron cauldron and I topped them with botanicals. I LOVE them and the first time I heard about it was on an pretty old video from BB. I have never used beeswax, but yes for tallow. You know I love tallow anything Thank you

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Thanks for sharing!!🕯️

[@RichardHicks-vk3vb]

Enjoyed watching your video. I had heard of it but now know how to make it. I am also thinking of making a pune tar soap. Have u ever made it or have u considered making it.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

I've heard of pine tar soaps, but haven't made them yet..

This is also my first time I’m hearing about lotion candle, I’m surprised and now I really have to try it . Thanks for sharing this video ❤🤗

[@clarencehershberger2058]

Suggestion for applying labels: can you use two books or pieces of wood lying parallel so the handle can stick down between them and not roll?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Great suggestion❣️

[@karlad3213]

I've never heard of it either 🤔 looks awesome ❤️

[@bernadettesew3384]

Is the soya wax same as we use for candles pl? If not could you tell which wax to buy to try this recipe, please?

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Yes, it's a pure soy "candle" wax👍

Wow! That was great. I have never seen how they are made or never used it. Looking forward to try it.❤ thank you for sharing.

I have just made these, Ruth Ellen. I even bought the little beakers you used. I hope mine turn out as great as yours have.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

Wonderful! I hope you love them ❣️

[@clairewright8153]

Never heard of these before, they make great gifts and a teacher gift. I’d lay the beaker in between a stack of books with the appropriate gap to put the label on.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

That's a great suggestion for the labels❣️

Hi Ellen, thank you for sharing this wonderful creation. Does a person need a special license, say a cosmetic license, to sell lotion candles. I make soap but would love to branch out to other things but I don't know what items need a cosmetic license.

[@EllenRuthSoap]

If you're in the US, you don't need a special license. Just make sure your labels are up to code.🕯️
