The bath for skin that can't handle most baths.
Some skin gets angry at everything. Fragrance, dyes, whatever mystery chemicals are in commercial bath products. This blend exists for that skin. Oatmeal, chamomile, and calendula. The three botanicals herbalists have reached for, for centuries, when skin needs calming down.
You can see what you're soaking in. Golden calendula petals, chamomile flowers, rose petals, and real oat flakes. No powders. No fragrance oils. Just chamomile essential oil for scent, which sensitive skin typically tolerates well.
Steep it like tea. The water turns milky-gold from the oats, smells like a gentle herbal garden, and feels silky when you climb in. The Epsom salt eases muscle tension while the botanicals work on your skin. Twenty minutes later, you climb out softer and less irritated than you went in.
"This is our Chamomile Calendula Skin Food in bath form. Same philosophy: when skin is upset, you don't throw a bunch of ingredients at it. You give it oatmeal, chamomile, and calendula, and you let it calm down. Works on babies. Works on eczema. Works on skin that's just had enough."
Why You'll Love The Soft and Soothing Tub Tea
- The sensitive skin trio: Oatmeal, chamomile, and calendula are the botanicals dermatologists and herbalists agree on. They soothe. They soften. They don't irritate.
- Minimal ingredients, maximum calm: No fragrance oils, no dyes, no mystery additives. Just herbs, oats, Epsom salt, and chamomile essential oil.
- You see exactly what's in it: Golden calendula petals, white chamomile flowers, oat flakes, rose petals. Recognizable. Trustworthy.
- Reusable muslin pouch: Keeps the oats contained so they soothe your skin, not clog your drain. Rinse, dry, reuse.
How to Use It
Heat about four cups of water on the stove until hot but not boiling. Fill the muslin pouch with a few generous spoonfuls of the herbal blend and drop it in. Let it steep for five to ten minutes. The water will turn milky-gold and smell gently of chamomile. Draw your bath, pour in the tea, and toss the pouch in with it. Squeeze the pouch occasionally to release more of the oat milk. Soak as long as you want. Rinse the pouch afterward and hang to dry.
Key Ingredients
- Oatmeal
- Colloidal oatmeal has been used for skin irritation since ancient Rome. The beta-glucans and avenanthramides actually reduce inflammation. This isn't folk wisdom; it's FDA-recognized.
- Chamomile Flowers & Calendula Petals
- Two of the gentlest, most reliable skin-soothing botanicals. Chamomile calms inflammation while calendula supports healing. The combination has been trusted for centuries.
- Rose Petals
- Gentle, softening, and beautiful. They add a subtle floral note without overwhelming sensitive skin.
Goes Well With
- Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Body Lotion: Lock in moisture after your soak. Same gentle philosophy, same skin-calming ingredients. The complete sensitive skin routine.
- Chamomile Calendula Skin Food: For spots that need extra attention. Same botanicals in concentrated salve form. Dab it on trouble areas after the bath.
- Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Soap Bar: When you need to actually wash. The gentlest bar we make, designed for the same sensitive skin this tub tea serves.
For the skin that needs gentleness, not gimmicks. Soak, soften, settle down.
Q: Is this good for eczema?
A: It's designed for exactly that kind of skin. Oatmeal, chamomile, and calendula are the classic botanicals for irritated, itchy, or reactive skin. We can't make medical claims, but these ingredients have been trusted for centuries, and colloidal oatmeal is FDA-recognized for skin irritation. Many customers with eczema reach for this blend specifically.
Q: How is this different from the other tub teas?
A: This one's the sensitive skin specialist. Herbal Lavender is gentle and floral for everyday relaxation. Relax has passion flower and citrus for unwinding without sedation. Soft and Soothing focuses entirely on calming irritated skin with oatmeal, chamomile, and calendula. Different jobs, different blends.
Q: Will the oatmeal clog my drain?
A: No. The muslin pouch keeps the oats contained. Squeeze it during your bath to release the milky oat goodness into the water, but the solids stay in the bag. After your bath, empty the pouch into the trash or compost, rinse it, and hang to dry.
