While we were still in Minnesota, I spent a few evenings with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law making homemade soap. They've both been making soap for several years, but I'd never tried it before so I was excited to give it a try. We tried several different recipes, but this one was my absolute favorite! It's so easy to make too! Plus, now I have beautiful soap that will always have a memory behind it.
OATMEAL SOAP
Ingredients Needed
// goat's milk suspending soap (bars of Dove soap work too!)
// soap mold or cupcake pan
// oatmeal
// almond soap fragrance
// cinnamon
// honey
Directions
01 | Cut soap into small cubes and melt in microwave 30 seconds at a time, until liquid. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't overflow.
02 | Prepare ingredients. Grind oatmeal to preferred consistancy (thicker makes a little bit better exfoliant).
03 | Pour oatmeal, almond fragrance, cinnamon, and honey into melted soap and stir. We did varying amounts of everything for different scents and appearances.
04 | Lightly grease molds with oil to make soap removal easier. Pour mixture into molds and let harden.
So easy! Let me know if you've made soap before or if you try it!

These are so beautiful. I love making soaps. My problem is I just like making soap so much that I end up with WAY TOO MUCH.

this looks so awesome! I'm a huge fan of having way too many yummy soap bars on hand. and homemade is even better.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I have some soap base at home, but I haven't been making any recently!
ReplyDeleteAnd for a moment there, I saw 'homemade oatmeal soup,' scrolled down to see 'goat's milk suspending soap' and I was like '....what?' Haha.
Love this! Ty has always wanted me to make homemade soaps because he loves the smell. Adding this to my bookmarks :)
ReplyDeleteVery very cool! Lol, I read 'oatmeal soup' too! I hope you felt the love in the stockings I made you! :)
ReplyDeleteI read that book keeping is a part of accounting. Book keeping is recording transactions while accounting is recording, reporting and analyzing of financial information.

I made oatmeal soap and it's not nearly as adorable as these are. I LOVE your molds. So simple and cheery!
