Tried Bend Soap Company’s goat milk soap and it’s been a game-changer for my eczema. Anyone compare it to their oatmeal & honey variant?
Having used both the goat milk and oatmeal & honey variants from Bend Soap Company, I found the oatmeal & honey version offers slightly more exfoliation, which can be great for removing dead skin but might be too much for extremely sensitive areas. The goat milk soap is gentler and more hydrating, making it ideal for active eczema flare-ups. That said, the oatmeal & honey variant’s natural antibacterial properties are excellent for preventing secondary skin infections. If your eczema is under control and you’re looking for a mild exfoliant, it’s worth trying.
Building on JamesJourney’s insights, it’s worth noting that the oatmeal & honey variant’s exfoliation comes from colloidal oatmeal, which is clinically proven to soothe irritated skin by forming a protective barrier. This aligns with dermatological recommendations for eczema management. Additionally, goat milk’s lactic acid content helps gently exfoliate while maintaining the skin’s pH balance, making it a dual-action option. For those with active flare-ups, alternating between the two variants based on skin condition might offer optimal results. Bend Soap’s bundles could also provide a structured approach to managing eczema long-term.
