Lavender Soap Balls

Adapted from Herbal Body Book by Stephanie Tourles

Two 3.5 oz. glycerin soap bars, grated
2 tbsp. ground oatmeal
1 tbsp. dried lavender herb, crushed
1/ tbsp. dried lavender flowers
10 drops lavender essential oil
1 tbsp. anhydrous lanolin
1 tbsp. sweet almond oil
Oil for hands

Melt soap, lanolin and oil on low heat in a double boiler or a small saucepan until softened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients.

While the soap mixture is still hot and soft, roll into balls (with oiled hands) about the size of a lime. Cool on wax paper. You can also make 2 round or square cakes of soap from this recipe.
