Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup liquid castile soap
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 2 tablespoons finely ground oatmeal
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil
  • 5 drops lavender essential oil optional
  • 2 tablespoons warm distilled water

Instructions
 

Grind the Oatmeal

  • Place dry oats in a blender or grinder. Blend until you get a very fine powder. The texture should feel like soft flour. This helps the oatmeal mix smoothly.

Heat the Water

  • Pour warm distilled water into a small saucepan. Heat it gently for two to three minutes. Do not boil the water. It should feel warm, not hot.

Mix Oatmeal with Water

  • Add the ground oatmeal into the warm water. Stir well until smooth. This step helps soften the oats. Let it sit for five minutes to thicken slightly.

Strain the Mixture

  • Use a fine strainer to remove large oat pieces. Press gently with a spoon. This gives you a smooth liquid base. Smooth texture makes the shower gel gentle.

Add Honey and Oils

  • In a mixing bowl, add honey, coconut oil and vitamin E oil. Stir slowly until well combined. Honey adds moisture. Coconut oil helps nourish dry skin deeply.

Combine with Castile Soap

  • Pour the liquid castile soap into the bowl. Mix gently to avoid bubbles. Stir slowly in one direction. This keeps the shower gel smooth and creamy.

Add Oatmeal Liquid

  • Slowly add the strained oatmeal liquid into the soap mixture. Stir gently until everything blends well. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.

Add Essential Oil

  • Add lavender essential oil if you like fragrance. Stir gently again. This gives a relaxing smell. You can skip this step if you prefer no scent.

Pour into Bottle

  • Use a funnel to pour the mixture into an empty shower gel bottle. Close the lid tightly. Shake gently before each use for best results.

Notes

  • Always grind oatmeal very fine for smooth texture.
  • Use raw and pure honey for best skin benefits.
  • Do not boil water. Heat gently only.
  • Shake bottle before each use.
  • Store in a cool and dry place.
  • Use within three weeks for freshness.
