Oatmeal Facial Scrub

One of the key things to know about Greta Aguirre is that she raises every plant she uses in her skincare line herself, from seed. She literally has her hands on her products at every step.

The care shows.

Her products are gentle, effective and beautiful. 

"When I think of Oatmeal, I picture my Grandmom's kitchen and a big bowl of warm yumminess, the smell of unconditional love, and that deep feeling of "home," safety, and calm. For eons, mamas and grandmamas have also used raw Oatmeal to soak and deliver miserable babes from all manners of itchy irritated skin. I developed the Oatmeal Facial Scrub for my teenaged son using the same magic grain and that same deep love."

Greta's son was struggling with both his changing teen skin AND a constant marketing onslaught for hardcore drugstore products promising instant results. It took a lot of begging (and probably bribery), but he agreed to give her a chance to find a solution for him. The search was on.

Greta looked for a natural way to cleanse thoroughly but gently, to heal redness and remove excess oil and dead skin, all of this while leaving his face nourished and hydrated even after multiple daily uses. Oatmeal, that simple old-timey remedy that's been around forever, was the answer. Grateful to have found the perfect base for a facial scrub for her teen, Greta's digging turned up a list of benefits from Oatmeal that was much longer than she expected or could have ever imagined. She started thinking the scrub could work for all types of skin and people, including herself!

Plant freak that she claims to be, Greta turned to the garden for extra help and added three flowers known to have many of the same healing properties as Oatmeal. Chamomile, Lavender, and Rose are the herbal trio that brings a bunch more benefits to the skin -- and make it smell divine! The final formula, Oatmeal, with these three flowers, is a powerful but gentle facial scrub that anyone can use every day, all ages and skin types -- she was thrilled!!!

Greta's son tried it. She tried it. She sent it to friends and family, and they tried it. Their feedback unanimously confirmed what her research suggested. The scrub gently cleans while removing excess oil. It soothes irritation, exfoliates dead skin, and leaves underlying skin feeling soft and appearing brighter. Their faces felt clean, nourished, healed, and protected. Success!

Over the years, this product has become a favorite in Greta's little circle, so she's thrilled to be able to offer this well-loved recipe to a bigger circle of new friends. She hopes your skin feels the gentle effectiveness of these long-trusted ingredients, that it inspires you to imagine the Springtime garden where our plants live and grow, and that you feel the love -- from Greta, through them, to you.
