Ingredients

• 6 oz goat milk melt and pour soap
• 2 tbsp dandelion oil (see Notes)
• 2 tbsp oats
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 10 drops lime essential oil
• 10 drops geranium essential oil

Directions

1. Cut the soap into small cubes for easier melting, then melt gently in a double boiler, stirring often.
2. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Add the dandelion oil, chia seeds, oats and essential oils. Stir well to combine and break up any chunks.
4. Wait until it starts to thicken, then work quickly to pour into the molds. If you pour it too hot, the exfoliants sink to the bottom.
5. Spray with rubbing alcohol to remove any bubbles.
6. Let sit until hardened, then store in an airtight container.

To Use

1. Use to gently exfoliate skin; it's especially great for elbows, knees, feet and the backs of arms.
2. Don't use it on the delicate skin of your face; it's too rough for those sweet cheeks, but using it on your other cheeks is just fine.
