Directions

Step 1

(We recommend using a mask when working with lathanol powder. It is a very fine powder and becomes airborne very quickly.)

Step 2

Measure 2 tablespoons of oatmeal and place in a food processor. Grind up oats until they are almost a powdery consistency. Some pieces may still be whole. Set aside.

Step 3

To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 12 oz. of cut up soap. Heat in microwave until soap has completely melted. Remove and stir.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix 7 ml (1.5 tsp.) of MCT Liquid and 0.20 oz. (1.5 tsp.) lathanol powder together. (We suggest using a mask for this step as the lathanol powder is very fine.)

Step 5

Using a wire whisk, mix ingredients until lathanol powder has completely blended in and there are no clumps.

Step 6

To the melted soap, add lathanol/MCT mixture and blend in.

Step 7

When soap starts to thicken slightly, add oats and 2.5 ml of Lemongrass Essential Oil. Gently blend to incorporate ingredients.

Step 8

Let soap thicken a little longer so the oats will suspend in the soap.

Step 9

Mix one more time before pouring into mold. Spritz the top of the soap with alcohol to release any air bubbles.

Step 10

After about 5 minutes, place mold in the freezer for 20 minutes. This will help the soap unmold easier from the plastic soap tray.

Step 11

Repeat above steps 1.5 times to make remaining 3 bars of soap.

Step 12

Label product accordingly. This soap has a PH of 7 which is best suited for dogs.

Step 13

To package, place in cello bag and tie with raffia or with paw print ribbon from your local craft store.
