Ok well last night I did my first mp soap . This is what I did and please tell me if I did anything wrong. I melted 1 lb of oatmeal mp base in micro until it was almost melted completely and the stirred until the rest was. Waited a bit and add 1/2 tsp lanolin. Then later when it cooled some more I added about 1 tsp of glycerin. Once it started to setup and I could see when I would stir it would looked like the oatmeal already in the base would suspend I added about 1 tsp of ground oatmeal and 1 1/2 tsp of ground coffee (I used Streusel Cake coffee beans that we got for Christmas, it smells so good). Stirred to my liking and poured into my lined (velvetta cheese box) mold and then added more ground oatmeal to the top and I let it set up. I did this late last night so I stayed up until 1pm just so I could try it, and also again this morning. It was great, suds great, lather great. I have dry skin, especially on my hands and after I used this they are only dry on my knuckles (but my knuckles get really bad and crack and bleed) but a lot better than they have been in a while. The scent is a very faint coffee soap smell (but I also didnt add any FO to it) that smells really great on the skin. Not incredibly noticeable but it is there. When I was rising it off it felt really silky (like when we had a water softener in Florida). The only problems with this try is I want it to moisturize more and also it looks like the coffee grounds look kinda green in the soap? Is this normal? Also I was wanting it to be a little more of an exfoliate and it really wasnt. I was a little cautious about adding the coffee because someone mentioned they are really scratchy, so maybe next time I will add more. I will posted pictures later, cant right now camera is in DD room and she is still sleeping. So please let me know what you think and as soon as DD wakes up I will add pictures. I had so much fun and cant wait to make more.
