You might want to open a window and wear gloves when you are working with and making soap so you are not splashed or burnt. There are all types of scents, oils and types of soap you can make, but let’s go back to the oatmeal.
What you need is, ten to twelve ounces of palm oil, four to six ounces of coconut oil, three ounces of olive oil, half a cup of oatmeal put in the processor, two ounces of lye, a cup of water, and any type of additional scent that makes you feel great when you smell it.
To make oatmeal soap you are going to mix the lye and water, and then set it aside. You will next need to melt your palm and coconut oil together and then set it aside as well. In yet another bowl you want to mix your olive oil and your oatmeal. Going back and heating your lye to 100 degrees, you want to heat your oils in a separate bowl at the same time. As it is all melted and stirred well, you can mix it together and pour into a container for your molds if you like. You will need to let your soap sit in the molds for at least twenty four hours, but forty eight hours is even better.
Some people like to put their soaps in large containers, and then use them slowly in bigger bars. The bigger bars that you like to make and use, the more ingredients you will need. The more ingredients you need, the more you purchase at one time, the less expensive your overall price is in making each bar of soap. For smaller bars, smaller molds, and smaller batches, the more expensive your soap is going to be to make.
