Why Oats?

We use oats in our shampoo, face wash and in a special bar of soap because oats are amazing!
As I prepared to make our Avocado-Oatmeal Soap this week, it occurred to me that I spend extra time on this bar - and thought I could use this opportunity to explain why.   
Avocado Oatmeal
Just Bar Soap
Oats are good for you!  
Hypoallergenic and anti-inflammatory, oats contain various proteins, lipids, enzymes, vitamins, saponins, and antioxidants. 
Oats soothe the skin and ease the discomfort of skin irritations and inflammation caused by rashes, dry skin, abrasions, insect bites, poison ivy, sunburn and chicken pox. You can also count on oats to be gentle enough for babies, and to help with eczema, psoriasis, and acne. 
Oatmeal Protein is actively substantive to hair and skin and is great for conditioning. As you can imagine, we feel that the benefits to the skin and hair are worth the extra effort to get them into our our products.
Sooooooo, there you have it.  Oats Rock!
