5 Benefits of Oatmeal Soaps

• Becky De Graaf • informative

Colloidal Oatmeal

Anyone who has had chicken pox, poison ivy, or a bug bite knows that the urge to scratch can often be worse than the itch itself. Colloidal oatmeal can help to alleviate the itch and its accompanying swelling as well as the desire to scratch.

Moreover, a wide range of studies have been conducted to evaluate the properties of oatmeal treatments when managing atopic dermatitis, and these studies have found that moisturizers and/or cleansers containing oatmeal significantly improved many of the clinical outcomes associated with atopic dermatitis.

Oats (Avena sativa) contain of a wide array of phytochemicals that include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, flavonoids, avenanthramides, tocols, alkaloids, saponins, and sterols. The diverse chemical make up of oats translates into a myriad of uses for inflamed irritated skin.

Benefits of oatmeal in soap:

Improves Skin Barrier

The avenanthramides in oatmeal work as a skin protectant and protective barrier by restoring the top layer of skin (Source). By helping to heal the outer layer of skin, not only can more moisture can be retained, but also it will keep infection and irritants out.

Exfoliates

When ground, oatmeal can gently buff the top layer of skin.

Soothes Irritated and Inflamed Skin

Avenanthramides are the principle polyphenolic antioxidants in oats, and they have been shown to alleviate inflammation and also reduce itching (Source).

Absorbs Oil

Oatmeal absorbs oil without over-drying. Oatmeal has astringent properties and helps gently draw oil out of our pores.

Cleanses

While we don't really have to worry about the cleaning ability of oatmeal when used in soap, nevertheless oats contain natural saponins.  Saponins are the chemical structure of soap.  Yes, that means oatmeal contains soap.

I know you must be wondering where can you get some amazing soap with oatmeal in it. I also just happen to know where you might find some. ;)

This is a private, exclusive, members-only global association.

    No matter how much the rich have, they always want more. And the richer you are, the more you get. And the more you get, the less others get, so you are actively making the poor poorer. Isn’t that the world we live in? That’s how we have the 1% versus the 99%. They will take everything from us, unless we take it all back from them. The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

    If you are reading this ,I hope it finds you well,My name is Pollin Collew. My relationship with my boyfriend was the best love I have ever experienced. It was a bit toxic though as I wasn’t in the best of places just coming out of my divorce. But our souls were so beautiful together. The good were amazing, we were friends but the challenging times were hard. We were together on and off for nine and half years. We got married at the end we had problems and I freak out and thought I was locked in another toxic marriage and broke it off we separated ways i dedicated some time to myself doing therapy and soul cleansing when I began to stabilize and find my self and love life again and I realized what a gift he was,I still love him however now he will not have anything to do with me again. I missed him. I have tried to move on from him but my heart won’t let me so I reached out to Abdul Basser who helped me fix our problems and brought us back together.
