Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bars unscented castile soap (get them here)
- 1/2 - 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (get it here)
- 30 drops essential oil (I use this brand)
- dried herbs (rosemary or lavender), optional
Instructions
- Grate the bars of soap.
- Next, pulse the oats to a coarse grind.
- In a double boiler, over medium-low heat, add the grated soap and the water (starting with 1/2 cup). Slowly melt the soap and mix as you melt. Add more water if needed. You want the soap to melt but you don't want to add so much water that it won't harden again.
- Once the soap is melted, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Add the oats, vitamin E, essential oils, and herbs, if using. Mix well.
- Before the soap sets, pour the mixture into the soap molds.
- Store the soap in an airtight container.
- The soap needs to set for one week before using.
