Earthley Oatmeal and Honey Soap / 4 OZ

Earthley's oatmeal and honey bar brings a gentle, everyday wash to your shower routine.

It's a 4 oz bar of soap, which is about as simple as bathing gets. You wet it, you rub it, you rinse it off, and you're done. Oatmeal and honey are two of the oldest things people have put on their skin, so this bar is keeping a pretty long tradition going. It's a bar of soap. I'm not going to pretend it's more than that.

Why oatmeal and honey

Oatmeal has been around for a long time, and people have used it in bath routines for just as long. Honey has been around even longer. Together they make a soap that leaves skin feeling soft and comfortable after rinsing. The oatmeal is in the bar, not on a plate, so please don't eat it off your arm.

Honey is the part that makes the lather feel a little richer. It doesn't make the soap sticky, it doesn't make you smell like a hive, and it doesn't ask you to do anything weird with your morning. It just sits there being honey.

What it's good for

• A daily wash for face and body
• Leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable after a shower
• A simple bar that fits into any routine without much fuss
• Travel, gym bags, and the bathroom sink, because it's a bar and bars don't leak

The bar supports a clean, comfortable feel on skin, which is what most people want from soap anyway. If you're looking for something to do more than that, this bar is probably not your guy. I'm not your guy either, and I've been using it for a while.

How to use it

Wet the bar, work up a lather with your hands or a washcloth, and rinse thoroughly. Use it as often as your routine calls for. If your skin is sensitive, do a small test patch first, the same way you would with any new product. Bar soap is cheap insurance against bad surprises, so spend a little time on the first try.

Four ounces goes a long way. Keep it out of standing water, let it dry between uses, and it'll last longer than you'd expect. Some soap gets smaller every time you look at it. This one is more patient than that.
