Seriously, I could listen to your voice and laugh all day! Thank you for all your content and expertise. You are by far my favorite soaper. I've learned and continue to learn so much from you. The soap is beautiful!
Thank you for explaining the Water discount in a way that actually makes sense. I've seen people spend 4 minutes to be really confused by the time they get to you need at minimum equal parts water to lye and the rest of the liquid can be added to the oil.
I love your channel and all of your tips! Thank you so much! I’m totally addicted😂 to watching your videos and making soap…. I want to try all the things!
I do so enjoy your videos! Your such a kind and giving soul and appreciated so much. I plan to make some of your recipes now that I’m retired. Used to make soap in the past but stopped. Now enjoying your encouraging videos. Thank you!
I’m new to cold press soap and I love your channel already!! I was scrolling through and also saw that u made bath bombs with a recipe !! You are god send my daughter loves bath bombs I’m going to attend to make her some with your recipe and save some money also be able to move from melt and pour that I’ve been using for years now lol need to move up 😭❤️🥰
Hello Ellen. I live in Australia and I love your videos. I made this soap tonight. I tweaked it and made with coconut milk powder, bentonite clay, French green clay and other fun things. It was a lovely recipe to work with and I’m looking forward to cutting them tomorrow. Thank you for all your amazing videos. I love watching them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a warm and fun way. Regards. Cassandra. 😊🥰
@@isaacsmith4630 hello. I added the powder to my oils and blended it before adding the lye water. Works very well. I use goat milk powder the same way.
This soap is very beautiful. The natural colors is just gorgeous. Thank you for always sharing your recipes. I just love love love 🥰 watching your videos.
🤎💛Ellen It's been a long time! You are the perfect soap youtuber!👍 Today's outfit, soap, and color go really well together! Besides, you always use natural ingredients! 🍀🍎🌿 That's why I like your videos.😍 One sad news: I recently got my channel hacked due to fake RUclips emails. So I started over on a new channel. Hope your channel is always safe! ㅜㅜ
I liked the lather of the #3 so much that I purchased a bottle of hempseed oil to use in a duel lye shave soap I'll be making soon. Thanks for all the great information.
Thank you for yet another wonderful soap session plus recipe. I just love the top and steaming certainly gives it a wonderful gloss. A very good point I agree with on soap calc I use soap calc always it’s great for converting recipes as you say if in oz but using grams like me it’s also fab to get the %, also if wanting to reduce or enlarge the recipe qty. plus so much more. Elly taught it in her tutorials on soap making. Holly also uses it I found the more I use it the more I learn. Now I need to check out the cost of Hemp oil here in Aus and see if I can just buy one more item, I’m supposed to not buy anything new for a while. Ha ha. It’s so addictive
I just love watching you! I have been watching various soapers...and you by FAR are my favorite! You're so kind, mindful, and considerate with your time, knowledge, and experience. What makes you decide whether to put the milk into the other oils or to do it frozen with pouring lye on top of it?
I love both ways of adding milk, of course with the frozen milk you get more in the batch... But I've found the milk in oil method a bit easier and equally as nice as full milk... I just like to try different ways💕
@EllenRuthSoap Just from videos I've watched you do, the milk in oil seems a little bit more forgiving...as in less likely to scortch the milk lol. As always, thank you again! I tried your #2 recipe I think it was from your trial batches. I added the lye to frozen goats milk and put it in an ice bath...the lye never dissolved. Not sure what I did lol, but big fail. I think I went too quickly in adding the lye.
It’d be great to see lather demo of soap with the cream verses soap without. I already use coconut milk, so wondering if adding heavy cream would make enough of a difference to add it 😃. As always, you’re TOPS 💚
Ellen I love all my soaps, of course but there is something on the unscented ones that make my heart happy, I have two favorites, the “It’s oat clay”, just kaolin clay and oats as additives and the aloe and cucumber coconut milk soap, made with AloeVera from my plants and fresh cucumber juice. Your soap os is wonderful. I am waiting on my hemp seed oil , try it on facial serum
Your soap is lovely. I have all of those ingredients though hempseed oil is very expensive here. You’ve inspired me to try. I’ll let you know if I do 😊
@@EllenRuthSoap ok that's nice.......also in all the videos you show a container with the liquid first what liquid is that.........I'm watching your videos for the first time and I didn't understand that
I was watching this with one of my almost 3 year old twins in my lap and when we got to the cutting part, he started aggressively sniffing & saying "smells good!" 🤣🤣
The cream makes your soap feel wonderful! I switched after watching a soaping video and can’t stop adding it. Do you have a favorite soap? It’s hard to choose isn’t it! Mine is Oatmeal, Milk & Honey. I just love it. You should try this fragrance oil from Brambleberry called Sensual (or Sensuous) Sandalwood. I think you would love it. The scent is fabulous! I’m curious as to how you would design it.
Wouldn't the goats milk alone provide enough sodium lactate to provide that smooth unmolding? I'm just curious about the necessity for it in a *milk* soap? Otherwise, GORGEOUS SOAP and THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge!😘💞👏👏😎
@@EllenRuthSoap Hi Ellen, here is the feedback from making your recipe. Curing is done and today was the day to try your recipe. We (hubby and I) love it! It was a dream to work with and the lather is beautiful, silky and smooth. I may not be able to purchase your soaps because I'm in Canada, but doing this recipe gave me little insight in your soaps. I would differently try other of your recipes for sure! I recommend people to go for it and give it a try! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Too bad I couldn't add a picture to the comment.
Great Channel! I'm new to soaping and I saw the original recipe you tweaked from the other video. Can you explain what went into your tweaking the oil amounts down to the hundredth of a percent? Are you trying to hit specific acid numbers in the calculator, or is it something else that needs such precise measures of each oil? thx! 🐢
when I "tweak" a recipe, I always run thru soap calc.... The recipe provided is a great one, if you make any changes, just be sure to run your numbers thru a soap calculator.
@@EllenRuthSoap Yes I see now, sorry, I 'm tweaking by entering rounded percentage values into the calc and you are tweaking by adjusting the ounces. I forgot you can use the ounces column to adjust the recipe and didn't look there. Thanks for helping a newbie. 🐢
Someone just told me about your channel and I’m loving it! I came across this video and would love to try it but your recipe in the description doesn’t give the amount of liquid you use. Can you share please?
Welcome!! Glad you're here! If you run the # thru soap calc, you can choose your liquid %... I like to work at a 25% water discount, but that's pretty steep for some. It's just a preference.
@@EllenRuthSoap thank you 😊, I am fairly new to soaping and I’m still learning about water discounting. I haven’t soaped with milk yet and I’m nervous of it scorching, I see that you don’t freeze it like a lot of others, and your soaps are beautiful!
I can’t wait to try this! Question on the sodium lactate. Did you add that to the the lye solution after it had cooled down? Also is your Hempseed oil refined or unrefined and where can I purchase it please ? I didn’t see it or the Heavy Cream Powder on your Amazon list. As soon as I can order those 2 items I’ll be making this for sure! Thank you for sharing!❤️❤️
Yes, I add the sodium lactate after the lye solution cools a bit. The hempseed oil is from Soapers Choice, it's organic unrefined, and I love it! I'll put a link for the cream in my amazon store, thanks for the reminder!
Seriously, I could listen to your voice and laugh all day! Thank you for all your content and expertise. You are by far my favorite soaper. I've learned and continue to learn so much from you. The soap is beautiful!
Wow, thank you! Your kind words are very encouraging!

I’m so glad it made sense, I didn’t want to make it more confusing 🤣😅
I bought those poly mixing containers from your link. One of the best investments ever! I intentionally came to your list to support you. No regrets!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're loving them!
I love this pure simple soap! Thank you so much Ellen for sharing your recipes. You are such an inspiration to all of us Ellen wannabes!
You are so welcome! I love a simple soap too💕

So pretty! I love simple plain soaps probably more than I like scented, busy soaps. They are comforting for some reason 🥰
I agree, there is just something soothing about a simple soap💕
I completely agree. There's something really comforting about a simple soap filled with luxurious ingredients.
Beautiful as usual! Ty Ellen
btw, I also love your laugh! makes me smile 8~)
You always make such lovely soaps!
Thank you for sharing this recipe! This looks lovely! And your enthusiasm and laughter are so welcome! 😊🧼❤️

@@EllenRuthSoap found hemp oil made in Tasmania even better and not too too outlandish so order some enough to make a few bars I think.

Yay! I look forward to hearing how you like it!
Helloo Ellen I'm so amazed with the soap designs that you are making.......I just have a quick question........is lye good for the skin??
After saponification, there is no “lye” left in the soap. It becomes very gentle & pH balanced
@@EllenRuthSoap ok that's nice.......also in all the videos you show a container with the liquid first what liquid is that.........I'm watching your videos for the first time and I didn't understand that
When did you steam the top?
Thank you for wonderful presentation
Yes👍
I was watching this with one of my almost 3 year old twins in my lap and when we got to the cutting part, he started aggressively sniffing & saying "smells good!" 🤣🤣
🥰that’s precious! 3 year old twins❣️ what a blessing, you’ve got you’re hands full!

That's a really good question. I haven't researched that out yet, but now you've got me thinking....
I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! That's my kind of soap for sure. I will try your recipe and give you some feedback. Your cloths matches the soap :)

Hi Ellen I love this video can you tell me what’s the size of your rubber stamped?
It's about 2.5" long
14:15 that looked like yoda Haha

Such a beautiful soap! Can't wait to try this recipe! Question...how many ounces are each bar? Those look like some nice size bars.😊
Thanks 🥰 I aim for a 4.5-5 oz bar after the cure
I can’t wait to try this! Question on the sodium lactate. Did you add that to the the lye solution after it had cooled down?

@@EllenRuthSoap Thank you so much
Sorry to have to ask... so the additional goats milk powder is the additional liquid in the lye:water ratio?
so your lye:water ratio is 1:1.7519, do you take the powdered milk amount from the water amount🤔 or is this in addition to🙄
The goat milk I use is liquid and is part of the liquid volume. The powder is heavy cream, and is just an addition.
What happens if the lye and oils are not that close? My lye is normally around 118 and oils at 86? I am new to the game
You can put your lye pot in an ice bath to cool it…
@@EllenRuthSoap I am asking what will happen if the lye temperature is way higher than the oils?
Hi ! Where can I get the Olga Soap Cutter?
His shop was closed for a while, but I think he's back on Etsy.
Namaste ma'am, can u tell the alternative for hempseed oil? Your new subscriber ❤
Sending lots of Love from India
Regards Rekha
If you change the oils, you'll need to run the numbers thru soap calc, because each oil has a different sap value.
@@EllenRuthSoap Yes, but I wanted to know an substitute for the hemp seed oil? Tq so much for replying ma'am
Your stick blender is so nice and quiet! Where is it from?
there's a link in my amazon store for the one I use.
I watched a video where the soap maker used dandelion fuzz instead of tussah silk
What size is your soap mold? How many pounds? I'm going to buy one
It’s the tall triple skinny from Workshop Heritage, they have all the specs for it 😉
what volume of oils do you use for that mold?
I give the amounts I'm using in the video. Workshop Heritage has all the volume specs for their molds too.
I love this. Is this soap hard?
Yes, after the full cure, it’s very hard.
@@EllenRuthSoap ok thank you :)
I have sentivtive skin also I'm a sentivtive person sometimes feel like I'm onlyone
What PH your soap is?
Is 5 a good rate? 🙊
The best pH for cold process is between 8-10, that's what I shoot for.
These days I sell just as many unscented soap at the market.
Why does it remind me of either a smores or a chocolate with nougat? 😅😅😅 food…ugh
🤣
