Ingredients
- 45 oz oat milk
- 20 oz lye
- 67 oz olive oil
- 36 oz coconut oil
- 24 oz almond oil
- 18 oz shea butter
- 3 oz jojoba oil
- 6 oz honey
- 2 cups ground oatmeal
- 1 oz lavender essential oil
Instructions
**All soap recipes are listed by weight
- Freeze the oat milk in ice cube trays
- I like to heat my oils and butters over my woodstove but you could use a cookstove on low heat or a crockpot to melt and combine the oils and butters. Combine all oils and butters except the essential oil and 2 oz of jojoba oil
- Mix in the honey
- Remove from heat and let cool while preparing lye mixture
- Use an immersion blender to crush the oat milk ice cubes until slushy
- Next add the lye to the frozen oat milk little by little while gently stirring. You should do this in a WELL VENTILATED area and wear protective SAFETY GLASSES and GLOVES! Always add the lye to the oat milk. If you add the oat milk to the lye it can explode and cause burns. Keep vinegar on hand to rinse your skin immediately in case of lye burns.
- Once the lye has dissolved, add this mixture to the oils.
- Mix with an immersion blender until it comes to trace.
- Combine the essential oil and 2 oz of jojoba oil and quickly add to mixture along with the ground oatmeal
- Pour into molds and keep in molds at room temperature for 48 hours.
- Remove from molds and cut the bars to size.
- Let the bars cure for a minimum of 6 weeks before using.
