Not just for breakfast, Oats have a long history as a welcomed skin ally! Classified as a nervine in herbalism, oats are calming to jagged nerves. Used in various forms in skincare, it soothes, calms, and hydrates irritated skin conditions.
Oat oil contains a balanced fatty acid profile beneficial to the top layer of your skin. With its 20 unique polyphenols, oats bring anti-inflammatory & anti-itching properties to soothe irritation. We use both Oat Oil and Colloidal Oats in our skincare formulas and they are used for the same purpose, to soothe and hydrate. Colloidal oats are a fine powder form of oats kernels that have the ability to suspend in water. When used this way on the skin, they coat the skin easing inflammation and leave a silky hydrated feeling to thirsty skin. Oat oil absorbs quickly, leaving a silky luxurious feeling on the skin.
