* 3.3 oz full fat buttermilk
* 4.2 oz lye
* 5 oz coconut oil
* 8 oz palm oil

* 8 oz soybean oil
* 2 oz neem oil
* 1 oz emu
* 2 Tbsp neem powder
* 2 Tbsp powdered rosemary
* .5 oz rosemary essential oil
Directions
Makes 2 pounds. My dogs inspired this, and not because they can dance. It removes ‘eau de doggy’ and is great for doggy dermatitis. I imagine it would be a decent flea repellant as well. Fine for humans too. Combine water and lye, cool a bit, then add buttermilk.
Set aside 1 oz of neem and emu oils. Melt solid oils in microwave, add to crock pot along with liquid oils. Add lye water/milk and proceed as usual. Just before pour, combine neem and rosemary powders, neem and emu oils and rosemary oil, then add to soap. Mix and pour.
