Honey Oatmeal Soap

This weekend we made honey-oatmeal-goatsmilk soap, in a wooden mold.


This is the soap mold.

These are the bars of soap after they are cut up.



Now we have a lot of oatmeal soap... any volunteers to try it out and give feedback?
(We made a 4 pound batch...)


Ingredients: lard, coconut oil, olive oil, goat milk, oats, honey, beeswax, lye

  1. Yeah!! Where did you end up purchasing the lye? Was it from the Syr. lye man? We'll volunteer to be tested on :)

  2. Nah, we bought a bottle of red devil lye from the Mill for 200 pennies.

    The lye guy. What a great name. I do have to go see him, though, to get the special lye that makes liquid soap, so we can make the liquid lavendar castille soap for the kids.

    Future post I guess.

  3. I'll also volunteer if any is left for testing. I figure I can't smell any worse, right?

  6. We like it. The oatmeal bumps are fun--makes me feel as though more grunge is getting washed off. Thanks Somerlots.
