These creamy bars are made with oat milk and natural clays. They're topped with heather flowers and oatmeal for a rustic look. Rather than replacing all of the water with oat milk, it's added at trace. This method requires less prep time, and it's a great way to try working with milk for the first time.

For this batch, we used Oatly regular milk, but you can use any brand. We recommend looking for milk with the least amount of added sugar, which can heat the soap and cause scorching, and other additives, which can cause unpredictable results in cold process. Homemade oat milk also works well.
To compensate for the oat milk added at trace, 2 ounces of water are taken from the distilled water that is mixed with lye. Undispersed titanium dioxide is also added to the oils prior to adding the lye water to offset the vanilla discoloration in the Golden Oats Fragrance Oil.

We highly recommend sodium lactate for this batch to help it release easier from the mold. We also recommend placing it in the fridge for at least 6 hours (up to overnight) to prevent scorching.
