Tammy Varian's Oatmeal & Vanilla Soap Soap Recipe
Oatmeal & Vanilla Soap Soap by Tammy Varian
I chose to do this Oatmeal and Vanilla Soap for the swap (my first) because Handmade Oatmeal is my favorite soap and Sweet Vanilla EO is my favorite scent..and what could be better than mixing two of your favorite things?
The vanilla soap is 70% Olive Oil and 30% Coconut Oil with just about a 1/2- 3/4 ounce of Sweet Vanilla EO at trace. This was cured about a week and then I shredded a 3 ounce bar.
The Oatmeal portion of the soap is simply 20% Olive oil, 40% cococut Oil, 40% palm oil (to equal 40 ounces of oils) and 4-5 ounces of super finely ground Scottish Oats and Irish Steel Cut Oats, with a sprinkling of plain old rolled oats for effect, added at trace. There is also 1 ounce of shea butter and cocoa butter (melted) added at trace. Temps were 120 degrees F.
I brought the Oatmeal soap mixture to light trace and then added the oatmeal, hand stirred until I had a thick mixture so the Swt Vanilla shreds would be suspended. Added the 3 ounces of shredded Swt Vanilla and melted cocoa and shea butters and gently stirred to incorporate. Poured into my mold, cut on day 2 and cured for 2 weeks.
