How to Make Oatmeal Soap!

This soap is a favorite for face and body. It is made with skin-nourishing oatmeal and essential oils that make your face soft and glowing with good health.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Castile Soap
• Dried Oats
• Distilled Water
• Chamomile
• Rosemary
• Jojoba Oil

1. Shred a 4 ounce bar of Castile Soap with a food grater or cut up with a sharp knife.
2. Grind 1/4 cup of dried oats in a food processor until they are like a fine powder.
3. In a saucepan, bring 1/4 cup of Distilled Water (must be distilled!) to a boil. Remove the saucepan from heat and add 1 tablespoon of dried chamomile and 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary. Let the herbs steep for thirty minutes to create a strong herbal infusion.
4. Strain the herbs out of the water and return the herbal infusion back to boil. Turn the heat down to low after it reaches a boil and while stirring add the shredded Castile soap a little at a time. Continue stirring until the mixture forms a sticky mass. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the oat powder and 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil. Keep stirring until the powder and oil are mixed thoroughly.
5. Pack the soap into molds and let it set for four hours or until hardened. You may pour it into a pan and cut the soap into bars when hardened, but they are a little rough in appearance with this method.

Tips & Warnings

• Use an old saucepan and save it for just making soap in.
• Vitamin E oil may be used instead of jojoba oil.
