Directions:

NOTE: If you are making these products for sale, good manufacturing practices recommend you wear a hairnet, gloves and a mask. We also recommend a clean apron and workspace.

1. (We recommend using a mask when working with lathanol powder.  It is a very fine powder and becomes airborne very quickly.)
2. Measure 2 tablespoons of oatmeal and place in a food processor. Grind up oats until they are almost a powdery consistency. Some pieces may still be whole. Set aside.
3. To a microwave-safe measuring cup, add 12 oz. of  cut up soap. Heat in microwave until soap has completely melted. Remove and stir.
4. In a small bowl, mix 7 ml (1.5 tsp.) of MCT Liquid and 0.20 oz. (1.5 tsp.) lathanol powder together. (We suggest using a mask for this step as the lathanol powder is very fine.)
5. Using a wire whisk, mix ingredients until lathanol powder has completely blended in and there are no clumps.
6. To the melted soap, add lathanol/MCT mixture and blend in.
7. When soap starts to thicken slightly, add oats and 2.5 ml of Lemongrass Essential Oil. Gently blend to incorporate ingredients.
8. Let soap thicken a little longer so the oats will suspend in the soap.
9. Mix one more time before pouring into mold. Spritz the top of the soap with alcohol to release any air bubbles.
10. After about 5 minutes, place mold in the freezer for 20 minutes. This will help the soap unmold easier from the plastic soap tray.
11. Repeat above steps 1.5 times to make remaining 3 bars of soap.
12. Label product accordingly. This soap has a PH of 7 which is best suited for dogs.
13. To package, place in cello bag and tie with raffia or with paw print ribbon from your local craft store.

To Use: Wet soap and lather onto dog. Be careful to keep out of eyes. Rinse off with warm water.
