Materials

  • 2 lb Oatmeal Melt and Pour Soap Base
  • 10 drops Vanilla Essential Oil
  • 1/2 cup Oatmeal, + 4 tsp for aesthetic
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • Alcohol, in a spray bottle

Instructions
 

  • Put soap molds on a tray that will make it easy for you to transfer them without moving the soap in them.
  • Grind the half cup of oatmeal in a food processor. You can do it until it becomes a powder. I preferred a little texture so I used small pieces.
  • Cut the soap base into cubes using a knife. It cuts easily.
  • Place soap base in measuring cup and microwave in 45 second increments, stirring in between.
  • Continue until the base is completely melted.
  • Remove from microwave and whisk in processed oatmeal, honey and vanilla.
  • Spray soap molds with alcohol.
  • Sprinkle your soap molds with the non-processed oatmeal.
  • Whisk soap mixture before pour. Pour evenly into the soap molds leaving space at the top so it does not spill when you move it.
  • Spray with alcohol and let sit for 20 minutes.
  • Move trays with soap molds to freezer and allow to stay in freezer at minimum 2 hours.
  • Once you remove them from the freezer, you can set them on paper or paper towel to allow them to dry out. This will help them to last longer. You can let them sit 3-4 days, but I have used mine in as soon as 2 days.

Notes

For the Soap Molds I bought these, but they were smaller than I expected, so I think I am gonna get these.
