Combination is best for:
- Eczema-prone or sensitive skin
- Dry, flaky, tight skin
- Itching and mild inflammation
- Skin barrier repair
- Post-shower or winter skin relief
It’s gentle enough for adults and children (except infants—see tips below).
🌾 Ingredients & Measurements (Standard Bathtub)
Dry ingredients (most stable option)
- 1 cup powdered goat milk
- ½ cup finely ground oats (colloidal oatmeal consistency)
- 2–3 tablespoons raw honey
Optional add-ins (only if skin tolerates)
- 1 tablespoon baking soda (extra itch relief)
- 1 tablespoon rice powder (calming, silky feel)
If making fresh liquid oat milk
Instead of dry oats:
- Blend ½ cup oats + 2 cups water
- Strain well
- Use 1–1½ cups of oat milk in the bath
Fresh oat milk has a shorter shelf life (details below).
Benefits of Each Ingredient
Goat Milk
- Rich in fatty acids + cholesterol → supports damaged skin barrier
- Contains lactic acid → gentle exfoliation without stripping
- Helps skin retain moisture longer
Oats (Colloidal / Oat Milk)
- Clinically known to reduce itching and redness
- Forms a protective film on the skin
- Helps calm inflammation during eczema flares
Honey
- Natural humectant (pulls moisture into skin)
- Mild antibacterial properties
- Supports healing of dry, irritated patches
🧴 How to Use
- Fill the tub with lukewarm water (never hot).
- Dissolve the ingredients in a cup of warm water before adding them to the bath.
- Soak for 10–15 minutes.
- Do not rinse off unless skin feels sticky.
- Pat dry gently.
- Apply a thick, fragrance-free moisturizer within 3 minutes.
📅 Frequency:
- 2–3 times per week during flares
- 1–2 times weekly for maintenance
🧊 Shelf Life & Storage
Dry mix (best option)
- Shelf life: 2–3 months
- Storage: Airtight glass jar, cool, dry place
- Tip: Keep honey well mixed to avoid clumping
With liquid oat milk added
- Fridge life: 2–3 days max
- Storage: Sealed glass container, refrigerated
- Discard if: Sour smell, separation with bubbles, or slimy texture
Goat milk powder alone
- Pantry: Check manufacturer (usually 6–12 months unopened)
- Once opened: Best used within 3–6 months
Do NOT store mixed liquid baths at room temperature.
Usage Tips (Important)
- Always patch test, especially for babies or highly reactive skin
- Skip honey for infants under 1 year.
- Avoid if skin is open, weeping, or infected.
- Use very finely ground oats to prevent drain clogging.
-
Clean tub after use—milk baths can be slippery.
