My honey soap recipe will also incorporate fresh homemade almond milk that I will show you how to make. Our organic handmade Oatmeal Milk & Honey Soap has a warm, cozy and deliciously fragrant scent. Each soap bar contains real oats, goat milk, and honey. You will find here a honey oatmeal soap recipe using premade soap base. Homemade gift-giving is made easy, just get a 2 lbs melt and pour soap making. Gorgeous honey and oat soap bar, handmade in the UK using natural, SLS and palm oil-free ingredients. Zero waste & plastic-free.

You will need

2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon quick oats
1/2 pound of goat’s milk soap ( this is measured by using 1/4 of the container of the goat’s milk suspension soap

measuring cup

knife
plastic spoon

Instructions:

Use a coffee or spice grinder to grind up the two tablespoons of oatmeal. It will become a fine powder.
In the measuring cup, cut the soap suspension into cubes, using a knife. The soap cuts easily, like cold butter. It will be just a little more than a cup.
Microwave in 30-second increments, and stir after each 30 seconds. If your house is warm it should take just a little over a minute to melt fully. Overheating will cause the soap to bubble up, so watch this carefully. ( NOT speaking from any experience or anything there) ahem.
Stir well with the plastic spoon and make sure all the lumps of soap are melted.
Remove from microwave and add in your ingredients, the ground oatmeal, and the honey.
Stir the mixture well. If you bought colorants, add in 6 drops of yellow and 2 drops of red to make a deep pale yellow color. It did bubble up a bit, but I didn’t mind that, especially when I saw how pretty it actually made the soap. Perfectly imperfect.
Into the mold, sprinkle the teaspoon of whole oatmeal flakes all-around two soap molds. Each cup of melted soap will make about 2 bar sized soaps.
Pour in about half the mixture to one soap mold. Then pour the other side, trying to make the soaps even.
Do not move the soap mold once you have poured the soap. If you need to, place the molds on a tray before beginning, so that you can move them later on.
Allow the soap to set for at least 20 minutes. Then place in a cool spot to dry ( really to cool) for several hours.
I removed my soap the next day- they just pop right out of those silicone molds- and I let them sit on a couple sheets of paper and dry out a bit. I also use this trick for the bar soap in our bathrooms. They make the room smell nice and it helps them to last longer in use. Three or four days is a good amount of drying time.
Then you can wrap them up and give them to friends and family, won’t they be so impressed. Homemade soaps that smell delicious and are a delight to use!
Enjoy!
