Hair & Body Bar Oat & Moroccan Blue Chamomile

Oats in cosmetics

Oat (Avena sativa) has been used in personal care for centuries and is well known for its soothing and skin-conditioning properties.

Oats contain naturally occurring polyphenols called avenanthramides, which have demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-itch activity in scientific research. Studies have shown that avenanthramides can help reduce inflammatory responses and itching, supporting the traditional use of oats in caring for dry and irritated skin.

Colloidal oatmeal has also been studied for the care of dry, itchy and sensitive skin, with research showing improvements in dryness, scaling, roughness and itch intensity.

Moroccan Blue Chamomile

Moroccan Blue Chamomile (Tanacetum annuum) is an aromatic plant traditionally valued for its essential oil. Its distinctive blue colour comes from naturally occurring chamazulene, a compound associated with the characteristic appearance of the oil.

The essential oil is particularly valued for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, making it an interesting botanical ingredient for formulations intended for sensitive skin and scalp.

Why we combined Oats & Moroccan Blue Chamomile

Our Oat & Moroccan Blue Chamomile Hair & Body Bar was created for gentle everyday cleansing of hair, scalp and body, particularly when skin feels dry or sensitive.

The formulation combines colloidal oatmeal, rice-derived ingredients, gentle cleansing agents, prebiotics and fermented plant ingredients, together with carefully selected botanical extracts and essential oils.

Oat helps condition and soothe the skin, while the botanical ingredients complement the cleansing action and support the skin's natural protective barrier.

The result is a solid, concentrated and travel-friendly cleansing bar designed to leave hair, scalp and skin feeling clean, soft and cared for.

The essential oil blend

The essential oils in this formulation were carefully selected not only for their fragrance, but also for their individual cosmetic properties. Each oil has a specific role within the formulation, creating a balance between function and sensory experience.

Sweet orange is valued for its antioxidant properties and contributes a bright, fresh citrus note to the formulation. Its uplifting aroma also makes it a popular ingredient in natural perfumery.

Bergamot has antioxidant and antimicrobial properties and is traditionally valued in skin and scalp care. Its fresh, elegant citrus aroma adds sophistication and freshness to the blend. The bergamot oil used in this formulation is bergapten-free.

Red mandarin is known for its gentle, sweet citrus aroma and is traditionally associated with relaxation and emotional wellbeing. It adds softness and warmth to the fragrance.

West Indian sandalwood has a warm, woody and grounding aroma. It is traditionally used in skin care and perfumery and is valued for its soothing and conditioning properties.

Geranium Bourbon is valued in skin care for its balancing and conditioning properties. Its rich, floral aroma, reminiscent of rose, adds depth and elegance to the formulation.

Moroccan Blue Chamomile (Tanacetum annuum) is valued for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties and is particularly interesting in formulations intended for sensitive skin and scalp.

Together, these essential oils provide more than a beautiful scent. Each was selected for a specific purpose, creating a formulation in which fragrance and function work together.

Instructions for use

Moisten hair, scalp and body. Wet the bar and rub it between your palms to create a gentle lather, or apply the bar directly to wet hair, scalp and body until a lather forms.

Use the lather as you would a regular shampoo or shower gel. Rinse thoroughly with water and repeat if necessary, particularly for long hair.

After use, rinse the bar with water, allow it to air-dry and store it in a dry place until next use.

Precautions: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes.
