Bath soaks can be used to treat a variety of skin conditions from psoriasis to eczema. Oatmeal can be moisturizing, soothing, and inflammation-relieving for the irritated issues. Colloidal oatmeal has been incorporated to help with the healing of dry, swelling, or itching skin.
Colloidal oatmeal also contains water-binding polysaccharides, which are a form of sugar, as well as compounds called hydrocolloids. These compounds also create a protective barrier to keep the skin from losing excess water.
