Honey Oatmeal Goat’s Milk Soap
I wanted to create a soothing soap to soften and brighten skin. I immediately thought of including two breakfast staples: honey and oatmeal. Together with a goat’s milk melt and pour soap base, they create a beautiful soap that does both.
Honey is moisturizing and makes skin “glow”. It’s been used in many skin care recipes because of the multitude of benefits it offers. I liked that it was already in my pantry and I didn’t have to hunt it down online like I do with some ingredients. My daughter eats honey on her toast for breakfast so it’s something we always have on hand.
Oatmeal is great for sensitive skin and has anti-inflammatory properties. I remember my sister suffering from eczema and my mom giving her an oatmeal bath.

- Remove from soap mold by turning the mold upside down and gently pushing on the back of each soap.
You’ll love how easy my soap recipes are to make. I adore using the melt and pour soap bases. They are relatively inexpensive and so simple to prepare. It’s fun to be creative with soap making. You should give it a try! I know you can do it too.
My beauty section has a bunch more DIY beauty recipes including scrubs ands soaps. And yes, I’ll be doing more so keep on eye on the blog for the next recipe.
Do you like the honey/oats combination?
That looks like a great soap recipe. Does the honey melt into the soap or stay on the top?
It melts in.
I have always wanted to try making soap and this looks to be an easy recipe for it. This soap looks so clean and nice.
Such an easy recipe, thanks for sharing.
Omg, I love this recipe so so much!! It’s so easy, yet I can totally see how it would be incredibly moisturizing and gentle for the skin. My son has a little patch of eczema, and last night I gave him a bath with breastmilk mixed in. I wonder how it would turn out if I replaced the goat’s milk with breastmilk. Hmmmm? Thanks so much for sharing!! <3
Thank You for the recipe. I have been making my own face cream,Body cream,deodorant and scrubs. This soap will be the next one.

Do you have a cure time for this soap? Also how long will it last if made ahead of time?
I use melt and pour base so it takes about an hour to harden up. It keeps for a month or two.
How many bars of soap will this recipe mak?
It makes about 4 bars.
What kind of oats do you use for this? Could I use oats that you would make oatmeal with? Haha.
I used the large flake oats! Any kind should be ok though. Use whatever you have.
Going to try making this with my 12-year-old this weekend but, just curious … why not mix the honey in before pouring into the soap molds?
You could do it that way too!
Made this afternoon I’m hoeing it works out so you know I live in Ontario too although my husband finds it doesn’t suds up like regular soaps

Can this be poured in an ordinary plastic mold? or does it have to be a silicon mold?
You can use plastic. I just find it a lot easier to remove from the silicone molds.
