Two is Better than One

Everyone knows that Lavender is great in soap. Lavender has soothing and calming properties to sooth itch and to calm nerves. Now combine that with oatmeal and Lavender becomes a helpful sidekick to Oatmeal - the superhero of skincare.

Oatmeal is popular in skincare products and especially helpful for eczema. So what powers does Oatmeal have?

For starters, oatmeal is a mild and effective cleanser unlike the sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) found in almost every commercial soap, shampoo, hand and face wash. Did you know that SLS is also a chemical used in industrial car washes, floor cleaners and engine degreasers because it cuts through and dissolves grease and oil? Yes, that's grease in car engines! What's it doing in your soap and shampoo? Well SLS does clean...harshly. But perhaps the main reasons big companies whose main objective is profit use SLS are because it creates foam and is cheap!

If you have any skin issues, just try this. Switch from your branded commercial chemical soap and shampoo to any of our natural soaps. You could be in for a pleasant surprise!

Back to oatmeal, it's super powers include

  • Moisture
  • Exfoliation
  • Anti-inflammation
  • Anti-itch
  • Improving skin's natural resistance

All these properties make oatmeal soaps great for anyone with eczema or sensitive, irritable skin. The addition of Lavender in this bar provides extra skin soothing and calming.

Ingredients: Saponified food grade soybean oil, coconut oil, fresh goat’s milk, organic sustainable palm oil, gluten-free oats, lavender essential oil.

For other oatmeal options try Goat Milk Oatmeal & Honey which is the bar we specifically make for eczema, psoriasis and dry skin.

HAVE A QUESTION?

We may have already answered it!

Browse our collection of common queries. If you still need answers, feel free to contact us for a quick personalised response.

How long does a soap bar last?

Our soap bars last about 40-50 washes and for about four weeks (based on an average person who showers once a day). It all depends on your personal routine, how you store the soap, as well as the size of bar you purchase — obviously, larger ones last longer. Even the amount of natural oils in the soap can affect its lifespan, but three-to-four weeks is a good estimate.

Fun fact — we have a customer who has been using one bar of Tea Tree Soap for her face twice a day, and it has lasted over a year!

How should I store the soap?

Soap don’t really have an expiry date, but how you store them can extend or shorten the “expiry”.

For a bar you’re actively using, we recommend you purchase the Bamboo Charcoal Soap Pouch or our Naturally Anti-Mould Pinewood Soap Dish. This extends the lifespan of your soap by draining water after use and preventing it from becoming slimy and soft in a puddle of water.

You should keep unused bars out of humidity, so we don’t recommend storing them in the bathroom where steam can damage the soap’s integrity. This will prevent moisture getting into the soap so it will last longer — up to one year!

Do you have soaps in liquid form?

No, not at the moment. Liquid soaps require loads of chemical preservatives to give them shelf life. We try to have our soaps in the most natural form — without synthetic chemicals — but we are exploring options in all natural liquid soaps for the future.

Can these soaps be used for babies?

Yes! Our soap bars are very suitable for babies as they are all-natural and chemical-free! For babies, you should opt for are unscented bars with no essential oils. We’ve already handpicked this range for you — see it here.

Are your products halal?

No, they’re not halal certified, but the only animal ingredient used is goat milk. Our soap is all-natural, not animal-tested, contains no artificial chemicals, no petro-chemicals, no synthetic oils, and are made from vegan oils.

  • Our Organic soaps and Olive Oil Based soaps are plant-based and is also made from GMO-Free oils and organic oils.
  • Our Goat Milk range is the only soap with an animal ingredient — 25 % fresh goat’s milk.
