Honey Oatmeal Soap By Marie Browning

A natural, soothing soap suitable for all skin types. The oatmeal exfoliates with a gentle touch as the honey nourishes your skin. The toasted oatmeal gives the soap a pleasant warm scent that blends delightfully with the honey aroma. Recipe makes four 3-ounce bars.

Materials Needed
Fields Landing Soap Factory -
Creamy Coconut Soap Base: 12 ounces
Honey Fragrance Oil: 10 -15 drops
Orange & Black Liquid Colorants: 4 drops orange and 2 drops black
Standard Bar Soap Shapes Mold # 71120
1 Tablespoon whole toasted oatmeal (regular, not instant)
1 Tablespoon liquid honey
2 Cup Pyrex measuring cup
Metal spoon
Microwave (or follow manufactures directions for melting in a double boiler)

Directions
1. Slice soap into thin 1/8" strips for quick, easy melting.

2. Place sliced soap into your measuring cup and microwave for approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute on high. The melting time will vary depending on the amount of soap. Remove and stir lightly. Continue to microwave at 15-second intervals until completely melted.

3. Mix in the honey and the oatmeal.

4. Add drops of the honey fragrance until desired level of fragrance is achieved.

5. Add the Orange and Black colorants for a very light amber coloring.

6. Mix the soap as it cools until it becomes jelly-like. This helps to distribute the botanicals evenly throughout the soap, rather than sinking to the bottom of the mold.

7. Pour the soap into the small rectangular shaped mold. Let the soap cool and harden completely before removing from mold. The soap will pop out easily when completely set. For a fast set, allow the soap to cool for 1 minute then cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator until cooled.
