Additives for MP soap

[Bret]

I've never made soap before and just ordered some SFIC Goats Milk base today. I'm planning on adding fragrance, but can I add something like ground oatmeal too? What about adding honey? What additives are safe to add to MP soap? And when do you add them?

My rule of thumb is you can add most anything that will not spoil to M&P. Honey & oats are great! I put my additives in last. Stir, stir, stir untill it begins to thicken (so everything will stay mixed) before you pour. If you pour to hot/thin, some additives will float, while others will sink.

I think I'll try just a little bit of ground oatmeal to start with. Thanks!
