Oatmeal Soap - A Soothing Touch

This oatmeal soap is not just a treat for your skin; it’s also super easy to whip up. Whether you’re a seasoned soap maker or a complete beginner, this recipe will have you creating your own luxurious bars in no time!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather these ingredients to create your wonderful oatmeal soap:

1 lb of melt and pour soap base (goat’s milk or shea butter work great)
1/4 cup of rolled oats
2 tablespoons of honey
Optional: essential oils for fragrance (like lavender or tea tree)
Soap molds (silicone molds work best)

Instructions to Craft Your Soap

Now, let’s roll into the steps to make this fabulous soap:

Start by chopping your melt and pour soap base into small cubes. This makes it easier to melt. Place these cubes in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler.
Melt the soap base in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted. If you’re using a double boiler, stir gently as it warms.
Once melted, remove the soap base from heat and let it cool slightly. You don’t want it too hot when you add other ingredients, or they could separate.
Add the rolled oats and honey to the melted soap. If you want to add any essential oils, now’s the time! Stir well to mix everything together.
Carefully pour the soap mixture into your molds, filling them to the desired level.
Let your soap sit at room temperature for about 1-2 hours until it hardens completely. If you’re in a rush, you can put them in the fridge to speed up the process.
Once solid, pop the soaps out of the molds, and they’re ready to use!

And there you have it! You’ve made some lovely homemade oatmeal soap that is great for your skin and perfect for gifting. Enjoy your creation, and happy soaping!
