Pesach Faqs

Q. Can soap that contains oatmeal be used on Pesach?

A. Yes. Oats mixed with liquid are chametz and one cannot even have any benefit from chametz on Pesach. For that reason, you cannot put a mixture of oats, water, and honey, onto a sunburn to relieve the itching on Pesach. However, when the oats are part of an inedible soap, body wash, or lotions, the restrictions of chametz do not apply, and therefore you can use those products on Pesach.
