Oatmeal Raisin Goat’s Milk Soap

I’m in love with the scent of this Oatmeal Raisin Goat’s Milk Soap. It smells so good, you almost want to eat it. But don’t. Just use it for washing your skin!

It’s super easy to make with a melt and pour soap base you can buy from your local craft store or online via Amazon. I buy mine at Michael’s and try to use a coupon when I do. I bought my last one at 55% off. It was a sweet deal.

I mixed the oats, raisins and cinnamon in a bowl first and then covered the bottom of the silicone soap mold. I find the soap has a smoother consistency when I do this. It will spread out on its own after you pour the soap into the mold. However, I still add the essential oil to the soap mixture. I don’t find essential oils change the texture like some ingredients can.

If I had cinnamon essential oil, I would have used it in this recipe. However, I went with a similar spicy scent: clove essential oil. Either one would work so use whatever you have on hand.

This soap also makes a wonderful homemade gift idea. Package it in some pretty twine and paper for gift giving. My family loves receiving my homemade soap. And yes, they do receive quite a few “gifts” from me because I make it so often!

Oatmeal Raisin Goat’s Milk Soap

Makes 4 bars.

• 1 lb goat’s milk melt and pour soap base
• 1/4 cup oats
• 4 tbsp raisins
• 1 tsp cinnamon

1. In a small bowl, mix together oats, raisins and cinnamon. Spread mixture on the bottom of a silicone soap mold with just enough to cover in one layer. Set aside.

3. Quickly stir in clove essential oil and pour into prepared soap mold. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
4. Let sit at room temperature for 40 minutes to an hour.
5. Once hardened, turn the mold upside down and gently push the bottom of each soap mold to release.
