I developed these bars last year as part of a series of solid skin and haircare products. The task I set myself for this product was to create a cleansing bar that doubled as a moisturizer. This batch contains chamomile, oatmeal and honey - 3 very gentle and skin-friendly ingredients.

Testing is going well but I am still not completely happy with how these can optimally be used and stored after use. They are a bit soft-ish and have a tendency to crumble which can make them a bit fiddly to use. On the other hand, they do wonders (for my skin) and make the most glorious, creamy, emulsion-type cleansing lotion when they are wet, so perhaps the challenge is more about reformatting the shape and size.

More to come on that!
