Milk, Honey and Oat soap

A little while ago, the 12 of Dec to be exact, my husband and I made a nice big batch of milk, honey and oat soap.  It was our first time. (with milk/honey/oat)

I had originally organised with a lady, who runs an online, natural skin care product store, to make  her 12 pieces to trial with her customers.  

This was before I realised I needed to register with http://www.nicnas.gov.au/ in order to even make a batch of soap for sale.  It apparently comes under the category of industrial chemical, and even tho one of the guys said it wasn't really aimed at the home crafts person, its is still covered.  

I had asked Kirsty over at ALS (aussies living simply)  how she deals with this.  She said she has no choice but to register as she is running a business.  It costs her over $300 a year!  So obviously all of my high hopes of starting a lil stall and business has hit a little bit of a molehill.  I just can't justify that kind of a few just to try make a couple of batches of soap that I may not be able to sell.

Maybe if our situation changes sometime in the near future.  

But for now I am going to focus on painting, and keep the soap as a hobby for family and friends.  

I will take a photo of the honey oat in daylight, not much point trying to add one now.

It had Olive pomace, canola oil, Camellia oil, coconut oil, cocoa-butter, milk, honey, and oats along with the lye.

It feels very exfoliating, and yet smooth and creamy.
