bayougirl Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Okay guys,Here's some photos of my little experiment with combining Oatmeal, Milk & Honey recipe and adding sea salt.Just poured, the honey turned it goldenJust after turning them out of the moldJust have to wait until cured to try them out. Hopefully, it will have the best of both soaps in one. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Woohoo!!! those look very nice did you also put ground oatmeal in there? I love the way they look.Barbara AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougirl Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yep, my Oatmeal, Milk & Honey recipe (16 oz oils) ground oatmeal, heavy cream and honey then I just threw in 12 oz of sea salt and poured into mold. I put them in a 170 degree oven for about 30 minutes, turned off the oven when I saw them start to gel and left them in the oven for about an hour. They just popped right out of the molds after they were cooled. so far, so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 That is how I do mine too they just fall right out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceangazer1 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Did you use frozen heavy cream to mix with your lye instead of water...they look wonderful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougirl Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) No, I divide my liquid amount in half and do half Aloe juice to mix with lye. I then add the other half of liquid as the heavy cream at trace, along with the oatmeal and honey.

Stella1952 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Those look VERY cool!! Isn't it amazing how different some soap looks when first poured vs. the final version?!! Great job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 What cha doing next in Saltbars? I did a Saltbar with Dead Sea Mud, Charcoal, and Seasalt I poured them in little brownie pans and used the little one ounce bars for the face I love them.I still have some left from when I made a bunch from last year.

bayougirl Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 I just did four batches of salt bars, including this one. I rushed getting one out the mold, so they're a mess. One batch was soap on a stick and looks really rustic. So only 2 batches came out good, I haven't thought about the next batch. Maybe another batch of the Oatmeal, Milk & Honey ones once I get to test this batch out. I did look at the little brownie bite mold when I got the salt bar molds out, good idea for the face ones, I don't have dead sea mud, though. I do have charcoal, could I use just regular kaolin clay? I, also, have rose kaolin clay. I'll have to think it over, I know I like to use them on my face every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I bet rose clay would be nice along with a little Kaolin clay too. I put Bulgarian Lavender E.O in mine along with some Tea Tree oil just a few drops can't wait to see what you make next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayougirl Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Barb,Can I ask how much Dead Sea Mud and Charcoal you put in your recipe. My recipe is 1 lb of oils. I don't want to put too much, but don't want to not have enough either. Thanks Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I put about 1 tablespoon Dead Sea Mud and about 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of activated Bamboo Charcoal. Soak the mud first in some distilled water first so it will blend in better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougirl Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks so much. I have mud, mud so I shouldn't have to soak it. I thought I'd just put it in the warmed oils to mix well first. Thanks, I'll let you know how they come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara AL Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I have the mud too but I still soak it the mud is very hard to blend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougirl Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks, I thought it would be easy to incorporate, but I will soak it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
