Oatmeal, Milk, and Honey Goat's Milk Facial Soap  

Tuesday, December 20, 2005

We were out of the Oatmeal, Milk, & Honey Goat's Milk Facial Bars too (can that name be any longer?) so I remade a batch. I made only two notable changes. I was trying to get the total oils down a bit because when I first made this batch, there were lots of little soap balls and scraps left over and frankly, I don't need all those hanging around. I also wanted to increase the percentage of nourishing and moisturing oils, and decrease the amount of potentially drying oils. So in a nut shell, I decreased the amount of coconut. The percentage of coconut oil in my original recipe was fine in conjunction with all the moisturizing oils but I felt that I could probably decrease it a bit and still retain good lather. This should help some folks a bit that are a little more sensitive to the drying agents (Kate). :) I also really pulverized the heck out of the oats. I put them through two different food processors and still didn't like the way the oats turned out so I also put them through a spice mill. I can't wait for this version to cure because I'm anxious to try out the new batch to see if I like the texture of the oats better than the previous batch. Oh and this time I used a scant amount of nutmeg for the speckly darker brown color instead of the cinnamon that I used last time round. So once again... my ingredients basically remain the same, only different amounts and different oat texture. Here's the list:

goat's milk
extra virgin olive oil
palm oil
coconut oil
jojoba oil
grapeseed oil
shea butter
castor oil
ground oats
fragrance oil
whole oats for decoration
honey
nutmeg for color specks
