Homemade Organic Honey and Oatmeal Soap!

Hey everyone welcome back to my blog! Below I just wanted to share my first experience making homemade soap! It actually was pretty simple! I’m not going to lie though I was a little heavy handed on the oils, but I suggest to play around with it each time you try! Until you find what’s perfect for you. I don’t mind it especially in the winter months our skin can use some extra oil haha!

In the picture above are some of the main ingredients I used! I chose to use sunflower oil and vitamin E oil due to their many benefits (I’m hoping they will work for my kids skin) which I will post later in this post! You can play around with whatever oil you feel will moisturize your skin. The oatmeal melt and pour soap base that you see in the glass bowl I found on amazon! I will link it later! That is 2 pounds, but I only used 1 pound. I was able to make 11 bars of soap!

I placed 1 pound of the soap base in the glass bowl and it took 3 and a half minutes to completely melt in the microwave ! You can also try it on the stove, but I had my 2 year old helping me so that was easier for us. I recommend stirring in between that time.

Here it is completely melted!

Next I poured the soap base into the soap molds that I also bought on amazon (will link at the end of post).

Once you pour the soap base in the molds that’s when you add in your ingredients mine included,

• raw organic honey 1 tsp

• vitamin E oil 1 tsp

• sunflower oil 1/2 tsp

• melrose oil 3 drops

• a few sprinkles of oats

And for scent I added lemon oil and an oil called cheer up buttercup 😂 pic below. I added 3-4 drops of each!

The lemon oil I picked up at target and the cheer up buttercup is from Whole Foods!

Once all the ingredients were placed in the soap molds I gave them a stir and placed in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours! And BOOM done! ❤️ I know it may sound like a lot but it took about 10 mins to prep. What took the longest was waiting for the soap to solidify!

Here are the results of my first try making homemade soap ! Pretty cool! What you see in the center is the organic honey 🍯 I would suggest keeping the remaining bars you aren’t using in the fridge until they are ready to be used!

Honestly once you have a soap base that you like, get creative with the ingredients and do your research! 😊

Oh and for those that are thinking ” Girl ain’t nobody got time to be doing this, plus I like liquid soap anyway” 😂 I have a post for you at a later date 😉

*** Be sure to clean the bowl you used to melt the soap base as soon as possible because it will begin to solidify and make it hard to clean, but if that happens pop it back in the microwave and allow it to melt and it cleans easy!
