Oatmeal, Honey & Cinnamon Goat's Milk Soap Recipe

This is the first time I've made soap using a grated rebatch soap base. I gotta say- I love this homemade goat's milk soap. This recipe yielded me six bars of soap using a rectangular soap mold.

I couldn't believe how silky smooth and rich and creamy this soap is and my hands felt nice, no drying. And the smell of honey and cinnamon is awesome.

Well, on to the recipe. I purchased the rebatch goat's milk soap base from Bramble Berry. You can head on over there or get yours from where ever you order your stock.

Ingredients for Making Rebatch Goat's Milk Bar Soap

Directions

Follow the recommended instructions for rebatching or melting the soap. This step can take anywhere between 30 to 45 minutes but totally worth it.

While the rebatch soap is melting, I use a coffee grinder to grind the oatmeal and cinnamon sticks. I would grind them separately so you can get the cinnamon as fine as you want it. You can also leave it coarse for more exfoliation which is what I did.

I start with the measurements listed above, but when you are finished grinding the oatmeal and cinnamon, you will have more than 1/4 cup. * Only use 1/4 total cup of the oatmeal and cinnamon in your soap - put the remainder in a container to use in another soap batch at a later time.

  1. After the soap has melted to the consistency of mashed potatoes (it will be a little thick) add in the 1/4 cup ground oatmeal and cinnamon. I add a little at a time and completely stir each time to avoid any lumps.
  2. Add in 1 tablespoon honey and completely stir it in the mix. Even though this is only a small amount of honey, this may make your mix just a little less thick, which was OK with me. 
  3. Add in the honey fragrance oil, which I also happen to buy from Bramble Berry, and completely stir to mix all ingredients.

Spoon your finished rebatch goat's milk soap makins' into your prepared soap molds and let harden before removing the soap from the mold. You will notice the top of the soap is not smooth, I happen to like the look.

If you want a more smooth top (like how the sides and bottom of the soap will be from the mold) try putting a piece wax paper on the top to smooth it out, then remove it when the soap is hard.

Your homemade rebatch goats milk bar soap will be ready to use the next day.

Homemade Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your work space and hands are clean.
  • Make sure the containers you are using are clean.
  • Make sure salves and creams have cooled enough before pouring in glass containers so they don't break.
  • Keep the batch size small so the homemade products you use are fresh unless you're making gifts.

Infusing Herbal Oils

  • Before you decide on which plant material you are going to use, I recommend you do your research on the plants or herbs you want to use.
  • The infused oils I make are for topical use, I recommend you do a little test on your skin prior to using your infusion, just to make sure you don’t have a reaction, chances are pretty low that it would bother you, but you just never know especially if you have sensitive skin.
  • All my infused oils have turned out great for the salves I’ve made or using them as they are or mixing with other oils and essential oils.
