  8 drops Frankincense
  12 drops Myrrh Sweet  
  1 tsp Apricot Carrier Oil
  1 tbsp finely ground oatmeal
  1 tbsp honey
  4 fl. ounces water

  double boiler with a ceramic insert to evenly disperse gentle heat  
  Wooden Spoon  
  Dried herbs (optional)  
 
  Grate the soap with a fine cheese grater. Place the soap in the double boiler with the water. Gently heat over a low least. Gradually the mixture will form a thick and fairly sticky paste. When the soap has melted, add the honey, oatmeal, oil and dried herbs (optional) and mix in well. Transfer to a clean bowl and then add in the essential oils. Mix very thoroughly! Have a bowl of water on hand to wet your hands. Then take a small handful of the mixture and mold into round balls. You will be able to make approximately 2 large balls or 5 or so of the smaller ones. Place on a sheet of grease-proof paper and leave it to harden for a week or so. Or you can put the mixture in a shaped mold!  
 
 

Creamy Oatmeal Bar

  
 
   Ingredients:  
  Click on the ingredients for more information.   
  1/4 cup ground oats  
  1/2 teaspoon bronze mica colorant  
  1 teaspoon oatmeal, milk, honey perfume oil  
  1 pounce (16 ounces) opaque melt & pour soap base  
 
  A creamy, luxurious oatmeal melt & pour bar. Melt the opaque soap in a double boiler until fully melted. Do not let it get too hot. Allow the soap to cool slightly, just until it forms a thin skin on the top. Quickly add colorant and fragrance, and stir slightly. Be careful not to stir too much, as this will cause air bubbles to form, and the soap will cool too fast. When the soap starts to thicken to a "runny pudding" consistency, add the and stir gently. Pour into desired molds or loaf pan. Allow soap to cool completely - several hours or overnight. Unmold, and trim or slice as desired. Most oatmeal will settle to one side of the soap using the method described in Step 4. That is, adding the oats when the soap is a "runny pudding" consistency will cause the oats to settle down to the bottom of the mold, giving a layered effect. If more consistent dispersion throughout the soap of the oatmeal is desired, allow the soap to cool to a thicker consistency before adding oatmeal. Stir gently and then pour into molds or loaf pan.
