Oatmeal Castile

Four ingredients: Water, Lye, Olive Oil and Colloidal Oatmeal. I received two requests, one is for a pure Castile soap which is only Olive Oil and the other request was for an unscented oatmeal soap. I decided to combine the two for the mildest, most gentle soap ever. Vegan and simple Castile Soap is a bit time consuming to make, the olive oil does not want to trace very quickly so you stir and stir for hours off and on. It begins as slightly green like the olive oil and then cures to a unbelievable hard almost brittle white soap that floats like Ivory.
