Golden Oat

Golden Oat

$10 USD Cold process Cured 4+ weeks Naples, FL

Colloidal oats, goat milk and honey in an unhurried bar.

Plant + dairy/honey This bar contains no lard or tallow, but it does contain an animal-derived ingredient - goat milk and/or honey - so it is not vegan.

Ground colloidal oats, powdered goat milk and liquid honey, on a base of shea butter and avocado oil. Warm, quiet, and lightly sweet.

The make-up

Notes on the bar

Keep it on a draining dish. A cold-process bar left sitting in water softens and will not last the way it should.

Scent

Oatmeal, milk and honey

A soft, warm, bakery-like scent with very little sharpness to it. Carried by a cosmetic fragrance oil, not an essential oil.

Texture

Rustic surface, smooth bar

Ground colloidal oats are fine enough to disappear into the bar rather than scratch. The lather is dense and slow rather than foamy.

The base

Olive, shea and avocado

Shea butter and avocado oil give this one its body. Powdered goat milk and liquid honey go in as additives, which is why this bar is not vegan.

Origin

Cured in Naples, Florida

Cold process, small batch, cured a minimum of four weeks before it leaves the workshop.

How this batch is made

Process

Cold process. Colloidal oats, powdered goat milk and honey over a base of olive oil, shea butter and avocado. No colourant: the warm tone is the oats and the honey themselves.
