DIY Easy Homemade CREAM POT Body Butter Lotion w/ Recipe | Ellen Ruth Soap 

I love love this lotion,it's been my favorite for 3 years. My daughter used it and said Mom you nailed it. Thank you so much for all your knowledge, kindness and sharing,I appreciate you more than you know.

I want to say I watched this video over 6 times and was finally able to make a batch this weekend I did al the research and used jojoba and almond oil and the rest I use what you did for hard butter and it turned out fantastic! I was so impressed with it that in comparison to a store bought product this beats it hands down for creaminess and luxury feel when I rub in my hands. And it and fast without a greasy feel. Absolutely loved it and cannot wait to make a different batch with another scent now.

Followed your recipe and made this today with a orange creme scent. Its delightful! Thank you Ellen

Thank you so much for the recipe. I made this today & love it. I cut the recipe in half since it’s just me using it. & it still made 2 of the 6 oz jars. Many many thanks

I have been searching and searching for a great moderately heavy creamy body lotion recipe and instructions! This will be my first time making lotion. I have made several body butters, but wanted a lotion that sinks into the skin a little better. Thank you thank you thank you for this recipe! I am so excited to try this. Will be using a little bit of lanolin, kukui butter, meadowfoam oil, primrose oil... and who knows what else yet… aiming for lots of luxury! We are going into winter and my skin is always very very dry. And this is for me personally, I do not sell, but I will absolutely use a preservative! Thank you so much Ellen, I so admire you!

I love and learn from every single video you bring to us!! I am definitely making this. I have everything I need right here. Now just to find the time to make this. Ill make a fall scented. Thank you for everything you do!!

I absolutely love watching your videos Ellen, you make really wonderful soaps so full of nourishing things for your skin. I love your cream recipes. I make different types of creams, soaps and candles to sell in my community. I live in Trinidad and Tobago.

Another recipe I am going to make. All your natural products, I really love. You are the Best..I cannot get enough of your ideas and information. As always you are worth your weight in Gold plus more...:)

I've commented before but just today came back to this one and made some more. It is still a WINNER, my favorite so far after trying a bunch of different recipes/formulations. Thanks again, Ellen!

So, I just made it, and it came out AWESOME!! Made a few personal changes. It's a great recipe. Thank you!

Excellent. Love the additives of the colloidal oats and coconut milk powder. Thank you so much! This recipe has wonderful ingredients. I love your stainless counters and that huge sink. Love your entire studio - are you in a basement? I have a large basement, but it's not finished.

Thank you Ellen Ruth,I just made this but with adaptations, I used beeswax. It's a great recipe.It's very kind that you shared your recipe.Greetings from the UK and Merry Christmas. I'm giving pots of the cream to my family and friends as Christmas gifts.🌲🌲🌲xx

Thank you for giving your recipes. I'm making your lavender and magnesium lotion. Your recipes have helped me so much. You are a good teacher.

Mrs. Ellen this is the example I was speak of about recipe shared vs no written recipes for soaps.

Hi Ellen, I love your videos, your work and your kind character. Excellent recipe! And all the recommendations you make to us and of course it is your recipe and you share it with the best intention and it is appreciated in that way.

Omg!!!! Ellen you are simply a beautiful Lady! If I Lived Close I would take you out to a nice Lunch!! Thank you so much for all your amazing recipes! You are the sweetest Hugs, Love, Blessings!

Hi Ellen, just finished making this lotion. OMGoodness!! It is wonderful and not greasy. The only issue I had was calculating the preservative that I used (not great at math) so my hubby did it for me. 😆. Thanks for the recipe.

Hello Ellen, I have been following you for a few years now and I ADORE you and your teaching style. I have learned so much from you and some of your recipe bases are my favorites to work with. I learned to soap with help from you. Thank you!

Hi Ellen I tried your Lotion Bars and my family loves them. Thank you for sharing. Now I am going to try this CREAM POT Body Butter Lotion. I love the products you come up with. I added Colloidal Oats in my cold process soap and WOW I love it. I wanted to Thank you for sharing your recipes. You are a blessing.

It looks lovely. I have lupus and my skin is thirsty and this type really helps me out! I might give it a whirl. Thanks for sharing. 💜💜💜

I enjoy watching you so much Ellen! Thank you

Thank you for sharing. I’ll be making it this weekend for my nursing colleagues in time for Nurse’ Week ♥️♥️♥️

Helen thank you for sharing your recipe with us all. I have to say it looks like Heaven in a jar. I can hardly wait to make a batch.

Thank you Ellen for sharing your recipes. I love watching you make nourishing soaps. I learn a lot from your videos.

Thank you Ellen!!! God bless you! 🙏❤️🙏

I like watching your videos while I'm at work! 😃 I even re-watch videos, especially for the soaps I'm planning on purchasing, or whatever videos don't have a lot of views 💓 Glad to see your channel is growing Ellen! Excited for my 2nd order!!

thank u so much for this video! it’s by far the easiest water/oil combined cream video and recipe i have watched and followed and my cream has turned out so so beautifully!

You did an amazing job! Can’t wait to try making my own. Thanks for sharing ❤

I’m going to try this recipe, Ty so much for sharing. I just loved all your videos. Great teacher.

I finally tried this lotion….. it came out BEAUTIFUL!!!! Made some changes with the oils and added essential oils too!! I LOVE IT!! I’m going to try infused oils next…. Thank you for your awesome videos!

Waiting for mine to thicken. It’s the first of this type I’ve made. I was confused when it said cups esp when coming to emulsifying wax because I wanted to do measure out 8oinces then realized it would have been a ton. Hope all is not wasted

Looks like a very thick, creamy, luxurious recipe. I may have to try this one out.

I love that nail colour Ellen, I’m definitely going to try this lotion it would look so pretty piped with 2 tone 👍

Hi Ellen I have tried making lotions before but was never that happy with the result. I just tried your recipe (and added a few extra additives) and it turned out beautifully. Thank you SO much! I was dancing around like a little kid when it started to thicken lol Thanks so much for your videos..I love watching them! :) ~ Michele

Oh my goodness, I just found this video. Ellen-I love these ingredients. Super excited to make this tomorrow! I may be late to the party on this one but I’m dancing right now. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I can't wait to make it for myself.

This is perfection! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe and methods! :)

I love your videos! Both my mom and I watch them and talk about them all the time. We have a made a few of your recipes and have enjoyed every one. We wanted to watch the other lotion video that you mentioned for the pump bottle but for some reason the video will not work. Hope to be able to watch it soon. Thank you for everything!

Thank you so much my dear for the measurements

We have sugared peaches FO. It slightly discolored the soap. I used it in a bathbombs. Will try this in my whipped body butter or emulsified Sugar scrubs…

Love it, thanks for sharing your knowledge 🥰

Thankyou Ellen you made this look so easy to make, I'm inspired to make a batch I'll pass it on to family & friends for up coming mothers day 😘

Thank you Ellen, for doing the research & sharing/us! I'm really a fan of body butter, something that absorbs into to your skin very easily. I think a little grapeseed oil would great for a light absorbing moisturizer. Love you!

Looks really lovely, will definitely have a go at making this lotion. Love your videos they are so informative and you are lovely to watch.

Beautiful cream, I'm tempted to try it myself! Thanks 😊

Thank you for sharing this recipe I can't wait to try it!!

Love your video❣️❣️❣️. thank you so much for putting this on RU-vid. You just got another follower.🌸🌸

Looks so luscious ❤️

Im trying different solid lotion recipes, and this is my favorite one so far. Just playing around with the amount of beeswax. I love your videos!

Thank you so much for the recipe, it looks wonderful. I would be curious to see how it sets up after it cools off to see how thick it gets.

Love this will try in new year. Just made calendula salve per Lovely Greens recipe but different oil. Thank you

So pretty and creamy!💕

So fun! Thank you for sharing!

Beautiful.

Tried i must have skipped something it was abit runny i will try again and perfect it . I love the videos be blessed

Hi Ellen! I started using your pump lotion recipe while I was pregnant and I even used it on my newborn. I absolutely love it! I can’t find that video anymore. The video you have in your description box says it’s a private video. How can I see it again?

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your video

That looks so amazing!

Great looking body cream, I can't wait to make this recipe. Thanks for doing this video, how many ounces does this make?

I love your videos!!!

Great video! Thank you!

Thank yOu so Much i just tried

Wow i reale like you and what you present... I thank you sincerely soooo many

I’m not new to soaping but I have never attempted to make my own lotion. I was wondering why you use both stearic acid and emulsifying wax... aren’t they the same thing? When I look up the description it says stearic acid is an emulsifying wax made from palm oil, like emulsifying wax. I absolutely love your channel and have binged watched so many of your videos. Love your laugh and energy ❤️

HI ELLEN RUTH I ALWAYS LOVE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW DO I FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH PRESERVATIVE I HAVE TO USE IN LOTION OR BODY CREAM I'LL APPRECIATE IF YOU COULD DO A VIDEO ON THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE LEARN ALOT FROM UOU

I loved 🥰

My favorite lotion recipe has hemp seed oil. Makes the best lotion. Too bad the shelf life isn’t longer

Thanks love home made cosmetic ❤😂

Love ❤️ this! Thanks! 😊

Lovely recipe Ellen, are you able to give the recipe in percentages please x

Where did you get that awesome pitcher? Thank you for your time and energy with these videos

This sounds amazing! How much does this recipe make?

Hi Ellen! I love your recipes so much! Thanks for sharing all your loving knowledge 🙂I was wondering where you source your jars from for this particular recipe and/ or your other recipe. Also, do you need a business license to by from the wholesale soap company you mention? Thank you sooooo much!

Thank you for sharing

Hi love this recipe, if I wanted to make this recipe more whip like what would I add or increase? thanks for this video!!

Delicious!

So beautiful. Thank you for your kindness. One question, did you mix the fragrance with the preservative together before incorporating them to the cream?

Ellen delete the 3 Posts by No....etc. he’s a spammer. I love your videos. This looks luscious!

I love watching and learning from your videos. I have gotten used to making my diy’s in grams. Do you know how many grams this totals? I am so excited to try it

Thank you so much for recipe

Love your video and thanks for sharing. Will this lotion ship well?

This looks like a fantastic Product. Can one replace the coconut milk powder with another milk powder, like buttermilk powder?

I Love the little jars you put your lotion in would you please share with me where you purchased them. Thank you.

Hello Ruth! Thank you 4 all the information you share with us! I appreciate it & I appreciate you. Quick question? Can I sub the coconut powder for another powder?

Hi Ruth, thank you for sharing your recipe, it looks amazing and can’t wait to try it out. With the preservative you use, what sort of shelf life do these lotions have and also do you store it in a refrigerator when done. I’ve read so many different things about preservatives I’m a little confused?

The consistency of this looks like it might work in a pump/squeeze tube….have you tried it with this or does it firm up even more the next day?

As I mentioned before, this is a really wonderful cream. My question is, how do you figure out the entire VOLUME (all the ingredients) so you can calculate the preservative? And how do you make a larger recipe? Can you just double up the ingredients?

Hello Ellen, I love your Videos ❤️ Thank you for given the recipe. I’m wondering is I can replace the Aloe Vera juice with Sea Moss? I’m have been looking for a Sea Moss body cream/body butter recipe.

Hi can you link the video I saw on Friday with the inbeds I think it was birds with the pvc pipe and it was black silicone liner in it thanks

Thank you for sharing. I am new to making lotion and body butters. I am allergic to aloe vera, what can i substitute in this recipe? would liquid glycerin work?

Hello Ellen!! I have a question, can I add some Rose Clay to this body Butter recipe? Would it preserve well or could spoil it? Thank you in advance!! I’m so happy I subscribed to your channel, so every single new video of you pops up in my news! Xoxox

Where do you get your jars and spoons please? Love your videos, thank you!

Hi Ellen, you make this seem so easy 🤪🤪 How would I add goats milk to this recipe ?? I am experimenting and been very adventurous. My kids suffer from eczema so I though this might help 🙂

Hi, I love your informative video. I make natural products, so I am always looking for 100% natural ingredients. The preservative that you put in your product, is it natural and safe? I noticed you used Colloidal oats in your lotion. What would be a substitute that is good for the skin in place of the Colloidal Oats? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

Hi Ellen, I am looking for a product I could add to my lotions for sunscreen protection. Do you have any ideas? Thank you.

Can you please tell me if a batch of hard lotion bars can be remelted and repoured in different molds? Do l loose the goodness of the oils? Thank you, love your products.

Thank you for sharing! Is there a reason for heating the water and Aloe up? Just wondering :)

Hola Ellen, gracias por compartir 🤗, acabo de hacer esta receta pero me ha quedado muy líquida, imposible usar manga pastelera, he usado cera protelan, qué cera emulsiona te usas tu? Gracias. 😘🌼

Hi thanks a lot for sharing the recipe.Please tell me what is colloidal oats.is there any alternative for this.

Hi mam Can this use for face? Thank you
