Natural, biotech rich, with organic botanicals, made in the UK. It cleanses without that tight, stripped feeling and leaves your skin soft and comfortable.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf most soaps leave your skin tight, itchy or pink within minutes, you are not imagining it. Many cleansers lift away the very oils your skin barrier needs to hold on to water. This bar was made for skin that notices. Oat sits at the heart of the bar: an ingredient people have trusted for dry, itchy skin for centuries, and one that dermatology research keeps coming back to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleanses gently without stripping your skin's natural oils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves skin feeling soft, calm and comfortable rather than tight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOat helps soothe dry, itchy feeling skin and supports your skin barrier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces a plastic bottle with a paper wrap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat customers say\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e★★★★★\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Several years ago I was diagnosed with a skin condition and was prescribed emollients for washing and steroid cream for flare ups. I recently tried the hemp and oat soap for washing as I wanted to go down a more natural route. I now only use the soap and no longer use the emollients. The soap is amazing and I have just received another 2 bars! I have not had any flare-ups so far either. A brilliant product and now my regular body washing product.
