Oat & Herb

Oat & Herb

Calming Herbal Bath Duo

Product Overview
Oat & Herb is a two-part botanical bath ritual designed to comfort irritated skin, cool heat, and ease tension in both body and mind. This set pairs a pouch of skin-soothing colloidal oatmeal with a carefully selected blend of cooling, calming herbs—prepared separately as a warm infusion and poured into your bath. Together, they create a lush, milky soak that soothes the skin, quiets the nerves, and restores balance.
Formulated to bring relief from eczema flare-ups, poison ivy or oak irritation, heat rash, sunburn, seasonal skin allergies, and general itchiness, this bath is your go-to for moments when your skin feels inflamed, reactive, or unsettled.

Ingredient Highlights

Colloidal Oatmeal – Forms a silky protective layer over the skin, helping to lock in moisture and reduce dryness or itchiness from eczema, rashes, or sun exposure.

Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) – Naturally cooling, easing heat and inflammation while refreshing the senses; especially soothing for heat rash or post-sunburn discomfort.

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) – Traditionally used to calm irritated skin and support surface healing from bites, scrapes, and contact irritation like poison ivy.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) – Gently detoxifying and supportive to the skin’s natural renewal process.

Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) – A nervine herb that eases stress and tension, inviting relaxation when irritation is keeping you restless.

Licorice Root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) – Harmonizing and soothing, with a long history of use in calming inflamed tissues and reducing sensitivity.

Southern Folk Craft Insight
In Southern herbal folkways, oats and yarrow were cherished for their ability to “draw out the heat” from the body, whether from sunburn, rash, or the restless burn of irritation. Peppermint was a cooling ally, used in summer baths to settle both the skin and the spirit, while dandelion and skullcap were brewed to ease agitation and restore calm. Herbal baths were a trusted first remedy for itchy children in the summertime, and poison ivy was often met with a mix of oatmeal and cooling leaves steeped in hot water.

Traditional Eastern Medicine Perspective
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine lens, this blend disperses excess heat, calms the spirit (Shen), and nourishes the skin’s protective barrier. Coptis, peppermint, and yarrow help clear heat and dampness, while licorice harmonizes the formula, supporting overall balance and comfort. The result is a soak that addresses both the surface—itch, redness, irritation—and the underlying pattern of heat and agitation.
