Dear Ellen, I got interested in making natural products at home and started watching YT tutorials. Most creators never give out their recipes and I understand their reasoning. You're the only one I came across who gives their recipes for free. Thank you so much for that! I love watching your videos, you're a beautiful lady in-and-out. All the best to your business, God bless! Subscribed.
Ellen Ruth is one of two of my go-to YT tutorials for EVERYTHING I want to make. And Ellen is definitely the first place I look. The second is Ellys Everyday (I actually found her first, but I love Ellen Ruth's videos more. Shhh...don't tell). Both are wonderful and freely share much needed information and recipes.
If ya sprinkle or dust a little mica glitter or cornstarch in the top of your moon press, they won’t stick like that and you either have a little shimmer or dust off the cornstarch when dry… works great!
A great tip! I’m gonna remember that next time. I had the hardest time with those moon presses that I also went to the half bath bomb molds. I’m going to try that next time!
so far I tried the corn starch/Arrowroot powder did not work ;-( I have not tried the Mica yet and not sure how often to apply is it before every one or less often?
OMG OMG OMG OMG I am so excited!!!!!! I just burst out laughing when you said it's not for the lady parts. That just reminded me of the time my cousin and I were in the woods and she had to pee and she grabbed the menthol tissues, not the regular one. I think she yelled so loud that she scared me and the rest of the animals. I can't wait to get some!
Thank you so much for sharing the steamer recipe, I’m currently miserable with the flu . Going to make these after the kid go to sleep tonight. Once again many thanks for all the recipes you share with us.🥰
If you want to get a really nice impression with the moon cake press then you need to put just enough product in to cover the bottom (what will be the top of the steamer) and press it down well with your fingers to get it in the design really well. Then finish filling like normal and then flip it over and press it well on the sheet pan.
I saw this video and when you first made it I have been following you for years. But you know that once in a blue moon some of your videos pop up again 😊. I tried your recipe and it works wonderful. I put Plastic film Wrap so it won't stick inside and I have the design that I desire. What I also do is put the bowl on top of the scale and then I tear it.
I think a lot of us ladies have learned our lesson about menthol, purely by accident for most, I am looking forward to these, and was looking into making my own shower steamers.
I made your recipe the other day. I am trying to make homemade products for my grandma for Christmas. I was stuffed up when I started when I had the bombs all molded I my head was completely cleared up. It works. Thanks you for sharing your recipe. Can't wait to get your shower steamers in the mail.
I love how you have packaged these! They look so cute. I might have to borrow your idea too! I did laugh at your not using in the shower. I love trying to explain to people why these shouldn't be added to the bath 😂
Hi Ellen! I just got done making a half batch of these...and goodness, I got a good whiff of the oil, and whooo....it cleared my allergies up for the next month. Lol! Cant wait to try them!!!
In August, I had a bad cold and made shower steamers. I didn’t factor in that it was rainy season and I had no way to keep them waterproofed. Must say, the air was minty and menthol tinted a couple of days around the house.
Thank you for all this information and recipe. I was wondering why people were using kaolin clay or cornstarch & other such powders....now I know! I really appreciate having an explanation of why I need certain ingredients. And I love the packaging, they're so adorable. Bless you.
I love watching your channel. I have just received my order of supplies to make these. I'm so excited to get started now. You make them look easy to make so wish me luc,, With the moon press that is.
First, I love watching you! I also live in Tennessee so it helps that your ingredients match my humidity level. I don’t make soap, but I make everything else you make. My specialty is shower steamers but I also do bath salts, beard balm, lip balm, lotion bars, scrub bars etc. I’m trying to perfect a foaming coffee scrub bar, I wish you had a video on that. (If you do I haven’t found one). I make coffee scrub that my clients LOVE… but it’s messy. I’d love to do a foaming / soapy bar… but I use melt & pour goat milk soap. I’m still trying to figure out the right amounts. Anyway, thank you for all you do! Even though I don’t make soap at this moment. It’s fun watching you… and your other products are fantastic! You inspire me!
I've heard you can coat the inside of your mold with corn starch (use a paint brush or similar to work in around the inside of mold), and your product will release more easily.
It's so much fun to watch you make new things. Best part hands down is your method of getting the half moons out. =D. Thank you for sharing and making us smile.
I like your idea about melting the menthol crystals in the oil, did not know they did that, I used a coffee grinder to make a powder but that was a mess to clean up, and I could not use the grinder for a while
Ellen MUCHISIMAS FELICIDADES, eres espectacular a pesar de que no entiendo todo, mil gracias por ponerlo en oz. Es para mi magnífico, Dios te bendiga hoy y siempre. Hojala pudieras hacer el COFFEE SCRUB, por tu atención mil gracias esperare con mucho entusiasmo tu respuesta. Muchas felicidades, todo lo que hace es ESPECTACULAR!!!👏👏👏👏👏 ME ENCANTA GRACIAS🥰❤💐 Por último se puede cambiar el mentol por esencia en lugar de las perlas de menthol, sorry por tanta molestia
Ellen sra. Bella me podrías orientar en donde compraste esas hermosas bolsas de yute, me encantaron, tienes una creatividad maravillosa, muchas felicidades. Dios te bendiga espero pronto tu respuesta, mil gracias🥰❤💐
OMG!!! I just happened to see this video,and I went to your site to purchase one,and they're sold out!!!! Will you be doing some more??? Please say yes,pretty please, with sugar on top???? HAHAHAHA!!! That looks awesome.
Hi Ellen finally I could make my order I Had made a mistake the first time thank God I fixed Ill be waiting so happy thank you for making I use theese to relax with the soap I Love peppermint 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hello Ellen, where did you buy your poly bags and sealer? And one other question would 20 drops of each (peppermint and eucalyptus) be ok for this batch or how many drops of each did you use?
Thank you so much for this recipe. I just made these and I must have had a pin hole in my glove because it felt like Icy Hot on my one hand 😳 . I’m sure you’d regret sitting in a bath of this “ lady parts” for HOURS! I just know they will be great for clearing your head though in the shower, as intended.. This recipe worked great for my molds and I’m looking forward to giving them to family and friends. Thanks again!!
Hello Ellen, thanks for sharing I learned alot and will be doing my own steamers very soon. The gift bags are gorgeous! And I love how you decorated them❤ I would like to know how much you can sell each bag for. I'm new in this business, I would like to have an idea. Thank you so much
Ellen…. I love your channel and watch all of your videos…. I have used your affiliate links and appreciate that you have those available, however, I LOVE that press you are using…. Where can I find those?
Thank you so much for this video. I have a questions do these go in the corner of bathtub, do I need a plate to put steamer in the plate. I’ve never used these before. Again I love all your videos .
Hello . I would love to make these... I noticed you weighed the Moon Press before adding the product. I need to understand why, and how to properly do so? May you please explain that process? I enjoyed this video. AMAZING.!!! Thanks in advance
great video! would the steamers degrade if i just placed them unwrapped in a jar with a screw lid? i don't have a heat sealer - i was just going to place the steamers in a jar to give as a gift.
Ms Ellen I went to your Amazon account to find the paper sealer.... but you don't have one there .. all the ones I have liked at have bad reviews... can you recommend one please....I am purchasing the ingredients to make these! Your one of my favorite diy channels, also! I learn so much fun you
As always, detailed video! Much appreciate that. I’m still a newbie. Trying to get it right. Those little tips is sometimes the difference in success or oop die. TYVM 🥰
Hi Ellen, your tutorial is very informative and the packaging idea is fantastic! What kind of plastic wrapper do you use? Mine doesn’t tear out easily after sealing like yours did.
Omg I absolutely love the packaging..I had made some last spring for myself and family didn't up unfortunately I didnt sell any apparently no one on my end wanted or needed them uugh 😭 but the way you have them packaged would definitely catch my attention and want to get some so beautiful thank you for sharing and BTW I definitely love your recipe so much better than mine I am gonna try this I just made my husband and i some spearmint and menthol we are so dry and stuffy and he loves these things but my recipe calls for alcohol in with oil and poly 80 I personally can smell a hint of it to not bad but I know it's in there lol and I am always having to spray extra alcohol in my mixture apparently to dry but I absolutely love your recipe thank you so much for sharing this I am definitely very appreciative of you doin this I also have to get my hands on those little bags they are gorgeous I love them!! Again thank you so much 😊 stay safe and god bless you and your family xoxo
I just made these I cut the recipe in half because I didn't have enough citric acid. The first batch, using a different recipe, all melted in the drying phase as I think there was too much polysorbate 80 in it. Mine are drying now. I'm hoping for success.
Unfortunately, this batch is headed for failure, too. I think that coastal North Carolina may just be do blasted humid for this to work well. I'm going to try baking them at a very low temperature for about 30 minutes.
Hi! I recently stumbled upon your video and loved your tutorial! I have a question, what woukd i use if I wanted to color the pucks a light green? So I can distinguish it as menthol. Something that wouldn't stain the shower & base. Thank you again!
Thanks and this is super helpful! Is menthol crystal required for all Essential Oil mixtures or only for this recipe? My shower steamer smells fade off easily. Is there any way to retain it?
I really like the addition of menthol, but you don’t need to add it.. Scented retention is a big topic, since these aren’t used for skin contact it’s okay to go heavy on the essential oils.
I made a few batches following this recipe and they came out great! I would like to try some scents that might not go with the menthol... Can you omit the menthol? Or do you have a recipe without menthol? Thank you!
Hi Ellen, I’d not heard of these but maybe not great if you have asthma either, Vicks menthol rub could trigger asthma. On another issue, I just made the kitchen soap bars fantastic, thank you,
I made your shower steamers following your recipe. I used a hard molds and a silicone mold . The ones in the hard mold did great but the others just crumbled out of the silicone mold. Do you think they might of dried out too much before I got them all molded up? Could it be possible that I can spray some witch hazel on the crumbled pieces and remold them? Or do you have any other suggestions? It’s about half of the mixture that crumbled.
I do prefer hard molds for bath bombs and steamers... You can save the crumbles for a "sprinkle" type. I'm not sure how it would work if you added more liquid...

A great tip! I’m gonna remember that next time. I had the hardest time with those moon presses that I also went to the half bath bomb molds. I’m going to try that next time!
Good to know because I just bought the moon press 😊

I enjoy listening to you so much. I love your laugh. You're my go to person for making soap and shower steamers. ; )

🤣 yes, trying to get the point across😅 Thanks again for the tip on not shrinking the wrap, it's brilliant!
I tried these but I don't think I pressed them hard enough. Was my first attempt. Yours were beautiful
Thanks for teaching us this shower steamers. I'll give it a trying. Thanks again for your beautiful smile. ❤

Hi Ellen! I just got done making a half batch of these...and goodness, I got a good whiff of the oil, and whooo....it cleared my allergies up for the next month. Lol! Cant wait to try them!!!
🤣 that’s so true, when the oils are warm, it’s very sinus clearing 🤣💕
In August, I had a bad cold and made shower steamers. I didn’t factor in that it was rainy season and I had no way to keep them waterproofed. Must say, the air was minty and menthol tinted a couple of days around the house.
Oh, that's a funny story🤣 But I bet your nose felt better!

So adorable..love the video too. Thank you for sharing
Thank you 🤗
Thank you for great information!”
Thanks for sharing those bags are so cute
OMG!!! I just happened to see this video,and I went to your site to purchase one,and they're sold out!!!! Will you be doing some more??? Please say yes,pretty please, with sugar on top???? HAHAHAHA!!! That looks awesome.
Thanks for checking them out 🥰 Yes, I’ll be restocking them in the next week or so😉
@@EllenRuthSoap Yes!! Thank you for the heads up. Will keep an eye out for it. Stay blessed!!!
I love the sparkly water. Can you formulate a black bath bomb that won’t stain the tub?
You used Jojoba that is such a nice luxury oil. I would never waste it on a shower steamer
Thank you for teaching and demonstrating your entire process. You are AMAZING!
Thank you so very much for sharing such detailed instructions and knowledge!🌼🌸✨🥀🌻you’re absolutely amazing 🌺
I absolutely love your videos. Thanks you so much for sharing you knowledge with us.
It all looks so nicely put together. How long would one steamer last, and does the oil component make for a slippery shower floor. :)
I take a long shower, and it lasts the whole time. I’ve not had an issue with slippery floors after use😉
Absolutely love these Ellen....packaging is so cute! X
Thanks!
Such a cute packaging ideas! My shower steamers also have the disclaimer on them and they get a lot of questions, but after questions they sell well.
Those are beautiful!
Thanks!
Oh my gosh thank you so much! These are adorable and I cannot wait to try them! ❤️
This video was awesome. Loved the tutorial and the gift bags were just too precious. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!

Thank you! 😃
LOVE this adorable packaging!!
Hello Ellen, where did you buy your poly bags and sealer? And one other question would 20 drops of each (peppermint and eucalyptus) be ok for this batch or how many drops of each did you use?
I got my sealer from Amazon, link below. Both WSP and Bramble Berry have great essential oil calculators.
So glad I found you. Love this video. I make the steamers and you showed me answers to a few questions I had. Happy New Year!
Happy new year! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this recipe. I just made these and I must have had a pin hole in my glove because it felt like Icy Hot on my one hand 😳 . I’m sure you’d regret sitting in a bath of this “ lady parts” for HOURS! I just know they will be great for clearing your head though in the shower, as intended.. This recipe worked great for my molds and I’m looking forward to giving them to family and friends. Thanks again!!
Hahaha! I had the same thing happen with my gloves, it's very "cool" feeling. But they are wonderful in the shower!
They are very cute. Thanks for the ideas how to pack. Wondering what can I use if don’t have a sealing tool as yours.
Thanks! I've seen some folks use a flat iron, though I've not tried that, it might work.
Hello Ellen, thanks for sharing I learned alot and will be doing my own steamers very soon. The gift bags are gorgeous! And I love how you decorated them❤ I would like to know how much you can sell each bag for. I'm new in this business, I would like to have an idea. Thank you so much
Pricing is a big subject... Bramble Berry and Modern Soapmaking have great article on how to price your products.
That’s beautiful. Ty so much for sharing:)
Thanks for watching!
Ellen…. I love your channel and watch all of your videos…. I have used your affiliate links and appreciate that you have those available, however, I LOVE that press you are using…. Where can I find those?
Thanks so much 💕 and thanks for the reminder, I’ll go put those in my store links😉
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I have a questions do these go in the corner of bathtub, do I need a plate to put steamer in the plate. I’ve never used these before.
Again I love all your videos .
I put it in the corner of the shower stall, on the floor.
Hello . I would love to make these... I noticed you weighed the Moon Press before adding the product. I need to understand why, and how to properly do so? May you please explain that process? I enjoyed this video. AMAZING.!!! Thanks in advance
I weighed the press to tare the scale, so I would know exactly how much bath bomb mix to use so they all weigh the same.
These are wonderful! What makes them fizz?
It's the combo of baking soda and citric acid that make the fizz.
Thank you for sharing Ellen! Can you skip the Polysorbate 80 in this recipe?
Yes you can..
Hi I loved it where you buy the little bags & where you print the Level thank you for for sharing it 💖
Thanks for watching!💕
great video! would the steamers degrade if i just placed them unwrapped in a jar with a screw lid? i don't have a heat sealer - i was just going to place the steamers in a jar to give as a gift.
I think they'll be okay, as long they aren't in a super humid area..
So cute
Ms Ellen I went to your Amazon account to find the paper sealer.... but you don't have one there .. all the ones I have liked at have bad reviews... can you recommend one please....I am purchasing the ingredients to make these! Your one of my favorite diy channels, also! I learn so much fun you
Not sure what a paper sealer is???
@@EllenRuthSoap what you used to seal the the bags
As always, detailed video! Much appreciate that. I’m still a newbie. Trying to get it right. Those little tips is sometimes the difference in success or oop die. TYVM 🥰
Thanks for watcing!
Hi Ellen, I must have missed something...where does the SLSA come in for the recipe. Trying to make for my teacher friends for back to school gifts.
This recipe doesn't have slsa in the formulation.
This sounds amazing! I dont have polysorbate- can I sub emulsify wax which includes it?
I don't think the wax would work.?.
Hi Ellen, your tutorial is very informative and the packaging idea is fantastic! What kind of plastic wrapper do you use? Mine doesn’t tear out easily after sealing like yours did.
I get my shrink wrap from WSP
Omg I absolutely love the packaging..I had made some last spring for myself and family didn't up unfortunately I didnt sell any apparently no one on my end wanted or needed them uugh 😭 but the way you have them packaged would definitely catch my attention and want to get some so beautiful thank you for sharing and BTW I definitely love your recipe so much better than mine I am gonna try this I just made my husband and i some spearmint and menthol we are so dry and stuffy and he loves these things but my recipe calls for alcohol in with oil and poly 80 I personally can smell a hint of it to not bad but I know it's in there lol and I am always having to spray extra alcohol in my mixture apparently to dry but I absolutely love your recipe thank you so much for sharing this I am definitely very appreciative of you doin this I also have to get my hands on those little bags they are gorgeous I love them!!

I have a question, what woukd i use if I wanted to color the pucks a light green? So I can distinguish it as menthol. Something that wouldn't stain the shower & base. Thank you again!
I would use a skin safe mica powder to color these.
Thank you!! This helped tremendously when trying to make the steamers! Are steamers IFRA Category 10 (non-skin products)?
I follow the guide lines for bath bombs, even though these aren't for the bath...
Thanks and this is super helpful! Is menthol crystal required for all Essential Oil mixtures or only for this recipe? My shower steamer smells fade off easily. Is there any way to retain it?
I really like the addition of menthol, but you don’t need to add it.. Scented retention is a big topic, since these aren’t used for skin contact it’s okay to go heavy on the essential oils.

@@EllenRuthSoapI forgot to ask, do I need to add any extra liquid if I am omitting the menthol crystals? Thank you!
Hi, do you have a list or template of the little instructions and ingredients list you printed to put in the bags? TIA 🙏
I don't have a template. For the ingredients, list them in descending order.
Lovely! Where did you get your little shrink wrapper? Thanks!
Amazon 😉
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have a question, do I need to watch the humidity before making shower steamers?
They’re like bath bombs, so yes, lower humidity is better
@@EllenRuthSoap omg thank you so much for responding. I will take note of that. ♥️
Where did you get your heat machine and what is it called? Are the bags 6x6 shrink wrap? Thank you have a great day.
It's an impulse sealer, and I just added links for the shrink wrap and the sealer I use in the description box❣️
Hi Ellen, I’d not heard of these but maybe not great if you have asthma either, Vicks menthol rub could trigger asthma.
On another issue, I just made the kitchen soap bars fantastic, thank you,
That's a good point, thanks!
Where did you get your poly shrink wrap bags from Ellen, they look so clear, the ones I got are kind of cloudy.
I get them from Amazon or WSP
Do you have them linked on your Amazon store?
