Oatmeal Honey Soap in the Crock Pot

Did you know your crock pot can be used for things other than a big pot roast?!

  • 17 oz (482 g) olive oil (62%)
  • 8 oz (227 g) coconut oil (*see note if allergic) (29%)
  • 1.5 oz (43 g) sweet almond or sunflower oil* (5%)

  • 10 oz (283 g) water
  • 3.9 oz (111 g) lye (sodium hydroxide)
  • 0.5 oz (14 g) tamanu oil* (rosehip seed oil would work nicely too)
