| Oatmeal Honey Soap I added about 3 or 4 tablespoons of honey and 1/2 cup of oatmeal. I used 1/2 bar of the base. These soaps look big in the picture but they are actually a lot of mini bars. I melted the base and then added everything in, a quick stir and poured into the loaf mold. I sprinkled oatmeal on top also to make sure you could see the ingredients and then cut them a little hap-hazard too look rustic. They say that honey and oatmeal are great ingredients for sensitive skin and are extremely moisturizing. She also had a recipe for: |

| Goats Milk-- Almond and Apricot Bar Goat's Milk Almond & Apricot Exfoliating Bar Everything you need: Soap base (goat's milk is super moisurizing) scented oils (apricot & almond oil) exfoliant (apricot seeds) coloring (food coloring) double boiler or microwave molds (you could use a muffin tin) cooking spray for lubricant wooden spoon First: cut your base up into chunks along the perforated lines and put into the double boiler. Keep stirring until everything is dissolved and soupy. Second: Turn off heat and add a few drops of your oils. You can also add food coloring but a little goes a long way. Just 1 drop of red & 1 drop of orange got me the color I wanted. Third: I added my packet of seeds and stirred with a wooden spoon until everyone got to know each other. Fourth: Sprayed molds quickly and poured CAREFULLY so the soaps would be nice & perfect on top BUT I didn't pour ALL OF IT. Fifth: I got crafty and kept a little soap in the pot and added just a drop or two more coloring and mixed. Then I poured the remainder in to "top off" and give a striped effect when I popped them out. Well that was the plan anyway:) the color variation is definitely there & I'm really excited for how they turned out. Let sit for a few hours & pop them out when firm. I was able to get 5 good size bars from the mold. I am hoping to try and make these soon! |
