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.

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?
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.
Hello
I made these wonderful soaps for my daughter’s baby shower. They turned out Great! Just some F.Y.I.: I used the one minute oats and they sank to the bottom…making the soap have a look of 1/2 & 1/2…which was also ok, since the colors of the shower are white with some natural. I have a question: Does the soap need a cure time, since it seems like it would melt quickly?
I use melt and pour soap bases so they don’t require a cure time.
Ps…I mixed the honey in with the oats…just mix it in well, if not, it leaves stickiness on the top.
