31 DAys Of MOO No. 16 Quick and Simple Oatmeal Soap

​Soap is something that anyone can MOO, but for a beginner, the thought can be intimidating. 

This is a very simple and easy, and quick, soap to MOO if you are a beginner, and if you're not, it is deliciously easy to MOO and lovely to use. 

Oatmeal is so good for skin, especially dry skin that is plagued by eczema. Oatmeal soap holds moisture against your skin, and oatmeal itself has anti-inflammatory properties and is known to reduce itching, and if you suffer from eczema, you will love that.

you can use this deceptively simple oatmeal soap for the same result. It literally take 5 minutes to make, it's that quick and easy.

To make the soap you will need:
A food processor, blender or coffee grinder
1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick cook)
1 large bar of natural soap (can be MOOed, or a good bought soap, I like to use Pears soap or Dove)
A large microwave safe jug
1 tbsp  water
Wooden spoon
2 or 3 soap moulds (I use silicone patty pans)

1.  Put the rolled oats in the food processor and process in short bursts until you have a coarse powder (you want to be able to see that it is oats, not a fine powder).

2.  Grate the soap on the zester side of your grater (or use the grater attachment on your food processor).

3.  Put the grated soap into the microwave jug and add the water. Stir. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, watching carefully that it doesn't bubble over. Stir to dissolve the soap. If the soap hasn't completely dissolved microwave another minute and stir

4.  Quickly stir the oatmeal into the soap mixture. It will form a thick ball and begin to set almost straight away, so work quickly.

5.  Pour the oatmeal soap into the soap moulds. Allow to set for 24 hours. Remove from the moulds and allow to air dry to set completely.
