    I think maybe PTW meant fine Oatmeal? It's very good in soap, acts as an exfolliant and a skin softener.
    I often put a handful of Oatmeal in a piece of muslin and hang it over the hot tap while it's running so the water runs through the little bag. The resulting "milk" is very good for dry skin.

    This could be one of the best posts on making soap I've seen...
    Actually, it's not necessarily homemade soap that's harsh - it's usually homemade LYE that's the problem. However, I intend to try using homemade lye for myself.

    It won't be much longer before I have to make some more. This time I want to try using a lye-seep and see how the soft soap turns out. Stay tuned for more adventures in "getting clean".

    Hello, I have a very large house and my own production, so I recently bought myself some Spam. SPAM is very effective and able to cope with the removal of impurities of any complexity now it has become much easier for me to eat in the kitchen on sofas, furniture, etc. with SPAM..



    Even Brussels enjoys the deliciousness of Spam.
