4th International Soap Swap
Sarah's Soap Recipe
"Nebraska USA" Bar (or my "kicked up" OMH - Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Soap) by Sarah Coatman
I decided to take the ISS4 theme one step further and focus on my state as well as my Country of Origin. Nebraska has it's fair share of business and manufacturing, but we are heavily agricultural and I thought it would be nice to come up with a soap formula that utilizes products and by-products from our agricultural sector. We produce everything here from beef to ostrich, to soybeans to corn, to fruit, dairy and nuts. I hope you enjoy the soap because it was sure a lot of fun coming up with a formula that worked with all these ingredients! We don't have palm trees or cocoa beans here but I needed those oils to round out the formula.
Ingredients [*]
- cocoa butter
- corn oil
- palm oil
- palm kernel oil
- soybean oil (not shortening)
- sunflower oil
- wheat germ oil
- sweet almond butter
- Lye at 6% Superfat
- distilled water or rainwater
- locally produced Nebraska honey added to Lye water
- pulverized oats added at trace
- powdered goat's milk
[*] Similar recipes can be found in the Soap Naturally book and in other soap recipe pages on this Website.
