Handcrafted Oat, Honey & Olive Oil Soap on a Rope
Designed as a loofah soap bar on a rope, this handcrafted bar soap is made with oat, honey, and olive oil, and comes with a loofah and hanging cord. Vegetable glycerin is frequently used for sustained hydration.
The oils are saponified with sodium hydroxide, and saponified oils are commonly used to lift dirt and sebum. Titanium dioxide is also commonly used to provide physical UV protection. Honey also acts to support hydration.
Skin care engages touch at each step of a routine, and the step depends on the product. Cleansing products lift surface oils, debris, and bacteria from the skin (Aiello & Larson, 2002). Moisturizing products such as creams, lotions, and balms add emollients that soften the skin surface and help hold in hydration. Serums, masks, and treatments are applied to specific areas of the face, and the pressure of application adds to the sensation. Applying any of these products activates C‑tactile afferents, the nerve fibers that process pleasant touch (Löken et al., 2009; McGlone et al., 2014). Slow, massage‑like pressure is associated with reduced stress and relaxation (Field, 2010; Field, 2015), and warmth and absorption add to the sensation as the product meets the skin.
Anyone with a skin condition, allergies, or sensitivities should consult a physician or dermatologist before use.
