Product Information

Voila! Your cream is ready to be poured over a sterilized (add boiling water to it few times) bottle. It keeps well in the refrigerator for about two weeks. So there’s an oat cream that’s been widely available in Europe for years now, and recently in North America, but it has palm oil in it (which is a big no). Even organic palm oil – imported from long distances, leads to greater deforestation, and least importantly in this conversation, also bad for you. This is like a cheaper, more environmentally friendly homemade oatly. This incrediable plant is highly anti inflammatory, containts vitamn A & C and is perfectly gentle for dry, inflamed skin. Oats contain virtually no fat. Compare to dairy cream, for example, or even cashew cream, which both contain a lot more natural fat. The oil makes things creamier, it’s emulsified (the molecules are so tiny, it’s like the water and oil combine) and results in an overall better end product. Dragon’s blood contains the alkaloid taspine, which encourages wound healing. It also contains proanthocyanidins, which reinforce and defend collagen fibres for improved skin firmness and elasticity.

Whether the improvements we’ve seen are due to the cream, or due to the warmer weather – we’re not sure. But I’d love to share with you the details of this Charcoal & Oat Moisturiser. It really helps us! I’ll explain how her skin has improved further down the post. It started when Lydia was about 8 weeks old. When red patches first appeared on her face and thighs, I wasn’t worried. My other children had something similar at her age and it cleared on its own. Sometimes you really want a creamy sauce for the dinner, a red wine sauce or perhaps one with mushrooms? But how do you do it if you want to drop the milk products such as sour-, double cream or butter that you normally maybe would add? You make your own homemade oat cream! Try subbing your homemade oat cream for some recipes that call for full fat coconut milk. Not whipped cream, but a creamy soup, or a light curry, or to make a pudding. It has a very subtle flavour and generally blends in to any dish, sweet or savoury.

We can’t live without Zoe Bee Charcoal & Oat Moisturiser. My baby’s eczema is improving and the cream soothes and protects her every day. I’m happy with the results, and I’d love to explore more products from Zoe Bee!

The four ingredients in this vegan oat cream, on the other hand, are cheap and widely available in NA and the EU. Oats, a little oil (grape seed, sunflower, even olive), water, and a tiny bit of salt. I tried coconut oil in the first test to see if it’d replicate palm oil but it gets too hard when refrigerated. Part from using the cream to a sauce, I also like to add it to my dairy-free butter and my Christmas bread. Very soon you will get more recipes including this oat cream. Woohoo, its so much fun to create in the kitchen! All Zoe Bee products comply with current EU Regulations and have a cosmetics products safety report. We are a fully compliant company. Products are all made in the Zoe Bee Lab. Oats help in the recovery by moisturising, restoring the skin barrier, reducing itching, and regulating inflammation. Activated charcoal draws bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of the skin, helping you to achieve a flawless complexion and balance your skin. The Charcoal and Oat Cream is rich in proteins and lipids, and has potent emollient properties, making it a great moisturizer. It also contains anti-inflammatory vitamin E, along with phenols to keep skin healthy.

However, Lydia’s eczema didn’t go away. It got worse, and nothing I did helped. In hindsight, my other children probably had cradle cap, not eczema. We live and learn! My daughter’s skin isn’t cured, but it’s definitely happier. It’s less inflamed, more supple, and more resilient to going out in the wind or cold. Now, at 6 months old, Lydia’s eczema has improved quite a lot. She still flares, however, and her some of her flares occur when dairy products touch her skin. We still don’t fully understand what’s at the root of her eczema, but we intend to do more research and involve our health visitor and/or doctor.
