Oatmeal Honey Soap Recipe
This recipe is great for both beginner Soap Makers as well as the more seasoned. This is a cold process soap which will fill a 5lb mold. The essential oils in the recipe can be interchanged with your favorite scents and are completely optional. The ones I used gave my soap a very light refreshing smell that was not too overpowering. I hope you enjoy making this soap as much as I did.
