Eliza Oatmeal Honey Soap

Eliza Anna Grier (1864-1902) was an African American physician and the first black woman licensed to practice medicine in the state of Georgia.

Oatmeal was sometimes used by Victorian women as a scrub. Many skincare recipes of the time called for almond oil, wax, and spermaceti oil. Several decades ago, sperm whale oil was outlawed and meadowfoam seed oil was created to replace it. I have incorporated sweet almond oil, beeswax, and meadowfoam seed oil into this soap as an homage to skincare rituals of the time.

My soaps are handmade, which means that each one is unique and varies depending on the batch. I recommend you drain out any soap dish you use to avoid your soap dissolving faster. Any handmade cold process soap should be stored in a dry area when not in use.
