| I made this recipe before Christmas for presents, and it turned out very well – however, be warned, this amount makes only three bars. Its made from soap base, oatmeal and calendula (lavender if you wish) as well as some almond oil and Vitamin E (if you wish). Its quite easy to make, though getting it out of the mould took a little fiddling. Recipe follows.
Gardener’s Oatmeal and flower Soap
Ingredients
250g white soap base
1 tablespoon of ground oatmeal
I teaspoon of almond oil
2 capsules of Vitamin E (Cut open)
Sprinkling of dried Calendula petals or Lavender flowers
Instructions
Melt the soap base and allow to cool slightly. Add the almond oil and Vitamin E and stir. Gently add the oatmeal and flower petals. Pour into moulds (I would try greasing slightly) and allow to set.
