Oatmeal shampoo

I found a lot of recipes online to make dog shampoo out of oatmeal. If it makes good dog shampoo, why not an oatmeal shampoo for humans?

So I came up with this recipe for an all-natural, conditioning oatmeal shampoo.

1 cup distilled water
1/4 cup steel cut oats
1/3 cup Organic Castile Liquid Soap Baby Mild - 32 oz (Google Affiliate Ad)
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tsp coconut oil
Optional: a few drops of your favorite essential oil

Materials needed:
Small sauce pan
Strainer
Bowl (preferably Pyrex)
Funnel
Whisk
Empty bottle

In the sauce pan, boil the steel cut oats in the distilled water for 2 minutes. Cover and leave on low for an additional 10 minutes. Pour the oatmeal through a stainer into a Pyrex bowl. Whisk in the baking soda and coconut oil. Allow to cool till just barely warm, then stir in the Castile soap. Finally stir in a few drops of essential oil (optional). Use a funnel to pour the shampoo into an empty bottle.

This recipe is very mild, so it's great for those with sensitive scalps.
