I adore any soap with oatmeal in it, so making oat milk to use in soap has been on my to-do list for a while! To mix my lye solution, I used half of the water called for. I added the other half of the liquid as oat milk at trace. Unfortunately, the fragrance that I used accelerated; I know it was the fragrance and not the oat milk because the small portion of the soap what I kept unfragranced (for swirling) behaved beautifully. The acceleration meant that I was only able to quickly layer the soap instead of swirling it, but thankfully I had quite a bit of leftover unfragranced soap, so I was able to use it to texturize the top somewhat. The soap ended up gelling all the way through without any insulation. The fragrance I used was a dupe of Lush's Karma.

I just love white and clean soap. It is so simple and beautiful. I just got a jar of oat milk a few days ago and my sister laughed when I told her that I´m not going to drink it, I´m going to make some soap :D
ReplyDeleteLol! I can just imagine her reaction!
DeleteYour oat milk soap turned out beautifully, Cee Gee! I better add oat milk soap to my list of things to try! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny =) I'm excited to try it, to see if it really does add anything to the soap. I feel like everytime I cross something off my list, I add 5 more things to try...is that the same for you?!
ReplyDeleteThat looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeleteBeautiful! Did you try it out yet? :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Mo! Yes, I just used up the last piece not that long ago. The soap turned out to be very light and creamy, the oat milk gave it a really nice lather :)
DeleteNice! I will try this very soon :-)
DeleteIt makes a very nice soap, let me know what you think of it!
ReplyDeleteDid you already try the soap? Has it cured? I am very curious about oat milk performance and how does it differ to other vegetable and animal milks. What are your impressions?
ReplyDeleteHi Ksenija, yes we've almost used it up...I have a only a few slivers of this soap left. The oat milk was very nice in the soap, I would definitely use it again. I would say the properties were similar to what other milks add, the lather was nice and creamy on this one. It would be a nice milk alternative for vegan soapers too :)
DeleteThanks for the feedback! Email just sent!
