Comfort for Dry, Itchy and Sensitive Skin
Oat is a trusted name for itchy, dry and easily irritated skin. Our Oat Glycerin Extract offers the comfort story of oats in an easy liquid that dissolves into lotions, washes and scalp care without gritty colloidal powders.
About the Oat Plant
Avena sativa, the common oat, has been used in baths and poultices for itchy, irritated skin since ancient Greek and Roman times. Oat kernels contain beta-glucans, lipids and avenanthramides, and that combination explains why oats remain synonymous with gentle, comforting care for dry and sensitive skin.
Why Formulators Choose Oat Glycerin Extract
Oat suits the fast-growing sensitive and dry, easily irritated-feeling skin category and also works on dry, itchy scalps. As a glycerite it disperses instantly and leaves a soft, slightly cushioned feel.
