What is the difference between the
original honey oatmeal soap and the honey oatmeal
soap with extra loofah?
Our original honey oatmeal soap has
enough loofah fibers to gently exfoliate the surface
of the skin without these fibers being detected.
Our honey oatmeal soap with extra
loofah buffs and polishes the skin. The
loofah fibers can be felt on the surface of the skin
for a deeper exfoliation.
What
is the difference between the oatmeal used in your
oatmeal soaps and the oatmeal sold in grocery stores?
The oatmeal we use in our honey
oatmeal soap is the inner part of the oatmeal
granule. This is the part of the oatmeal where there
is still moisture. The part that is discarded
is the outer part of the oatmeal granule that tends
to be dry, course, and grainy.

Why does The Honey Oatmeal Soap Shop
use so much oatmeal in one soap bar?
We like to use a generous amount
of oatmeal in each bar of soap because of the skin
softening properties in oatmeal. Oatmeal
is made up of cellulose and fiber. They make
up the chief part of the cell walls in plants.
What these ingredients do for the skin is coat,
moisturize, soften, and soothe even the most
sensitive skin types.
Is
the Honey Oatmeal Soap safe to use on acne?
Acne
(vulgaris) will likely respond to the oatmeal in our
honey oatmeal soap. Oatmeal,
in general will absorb oil from the skin's surface
and reduce the redness of irritated broken-out skin.
Acne such as (cystic) and (rosacea) should be seen by
a dermatologist.
Is the Honey Oatmeal Soap safe to use
on eczema?
Eczema
(dry patches) will likely respond to the oatmeal in
our soap. Oatmeal, in general seems to subdue the
irritation, relieve redness and skin itching.
Many
of our customers have experienced relief from skin
itching due to eczema using our honey oatmeal soap
with extra loofah. It is also safe to use on
insect bites, skin rashes, irritated skin,
inflamed skin or inflamed skin due to constant
skin itching.
Tip:
When using our soap on irritated or inflamed skin,
always use cold water. Ice cubes can also be
applied to reduce swelling.
Please
Note:
The lipids in our oatmeal soaps impart
lubricating and emollient properties into the
skin. It is not necessary to use our honey milk
oatmeal soap for these skin aliments.
