What do you think about using dandelion infused sunflower oil in this recipe? We have so much of it here, and want to put it to use! :)
Yes! Great minds think alike! :) That’s the topic of a post next week – dandelion hand cream!
Hello, I am quite the novice at all things natural, with your assistance made my very first batch of oatmeal and honey soap-and it is fantastic. But, I am in need of a recipe for extremely dry, cracked skin (not diagnosed as psoriasis or excema). I have read many articles on the advantages of Goat’s milk soaps and lotions, but have not yet seen any shared by you. What are yuour thoughts on these advantages?
Thanks
Hi Nancy, That’s terrific that you made your first batch of oatmeal & honey soap! I JUST put up an article a few minutes ago on making milk soaps, you might like to read: https://thenerdyfarmwife.com/how-to-make-soap-with-milk/ Milk soaps sure seem to help some people! I didn’t make them for a long time due to dairy allergies in my family. I think they’re nice, but I think non-milk soaps can be just as nourishing. For dry, cracked skin – I highly recommend lotion bars, if you haven’t tried them out already. These dandelion ones have been amazing for many people that I know, but you can use other herbs instead of the dandelions (like calendula, violet leaf, rose petals, plantain…) or even make them plain: https://thenerdyfarmwife.com/dandelion-lotion-bars/
