The Comfort Protein for Sensitive Skin and Soft Hair
Oats have earned their reputation in gentle skin care, and this liquid puts that reputation into an easy, pourable format. Hydrolyzed Oat Protein Liquid BLP delivers small oat protein fragments that dissolve completely in water, so you can build them into cleansers, lotions and conditioners without milling powders or chasing undissolved specks.
Why Formulators Choose Hydrolyzed Oat Protein Liquid
Many plant proteins feel squeaky or tacky at higher doses. Oat hydrolysate is valued by formulators for the opposite: a silky, slightly velvety skin feel and a light conditioning film on hair. It works in rinse-off and leave-on bases alike, which makes it a smart single protein to stock for a whole product line.
Key Benefits
- Leaves a soft, cushioned after-feel on skin, ideal for "calm" and "comfort" positioning
- Forms a light moisture-holding film that helps reduce the look of dryness
- Helps hair look smoother, with fewer visible fly-aways after rinse-off
- Mild, plant-based story that fits sensitive-skin and baby-care concepts
- Fully water-soluble liquid, no pre-dispersion needed
Where to Use It
- Gentle face and body cleansers, micellar waters
- Daily lotions, hand creams and body milks
- Shampoos and rinse-out conditioners for dry or frizzy hair
- Leave-in sprays and detangling mists
- Bath soaks and shower gels
How to Use
Add to the water phase of your formula. In hot-process emulsions many formulators add hydrolyzed proteins during cool-down, below about 40°C (104°F), to protect odor and color. Stir until uniform. Recommended use level: 1 to 5%. This is a raw cosmetic ingredient for use in formulations only, not for direct application to skin or hair.

Formulator Tips
- In sulfate-free cleansers, 2% oat protein noticeably softens the after-wash feel; pair it with glycerin for a richer finish.

- Combine with panthenol in leave-ins for a smooth, conditioned feel without heavy silicones.
