Teach Soap

I have a question and was wondering if someone could help me. I recently made some (or tried to make some) soaps containing oatmeal. In one batch I added to the prganic BB MP soap - Lavender 40/42 (not much), clove honey, jojoba oil and crushed oatmeal. 2nd batch was all the ones I just listed but without the lavender 40/42; and the third batch was everything from the 2nd batch except for the honey. I noticed that no matter how many times I stirred the soap, even after it started to form, that the oatmeal kept sinking to the bottom. Plus, when I gave my son a bath with one, the oatmeal scratched him, not too bad, and there was hardly any lather. I made sure that I crushed the oatmeal as much as I could. If someone could tell me how to fix this issue; I would really appreciate it. I will try to upload a pic. Thank you ladies.

Please be careful with clove, especially with children. It can be an irritant. Otameal can be scratchy and difficult to suspend in MP soap. If your son can tolerate the suspending type of MP, that would work better in keeping the oatmeal suspended.

Thank you very much soapbuddy. That was the only they had in the store, I don't remember that being the only honey ever offered; but I could be wrong. Is there any way that I can turn the crushed oatmeal into a powder? I would really like to start some type of line for children if possible.

One last question soap buddy, if you don't mind!! Where would I get an MP that has a suspension feature? If I'm not mistaken, I looked for it on BB and didn't see it.

I think she meant clover honey not clove. http://www.goplanetearth.com/bases_melt_pour_soap.html Try here for a wonderful base
