The oatmeal in this soap is serious! If you’re looking for a natural way to exfoliate, this is your soap. Just wash your skin holding the actual bar in your hand, and you are set. I imagine this would be great for washing extra dirty hands (paint, oil, etc…), but I haven’t tested that theory. This particular soap is barely scented, if at all. You may pick up on the lavender, but it is nice and subtle. Lavender + Oatmeal is a simple soap that does it’s job well.
