SHORT DESCRIPTION & INTERESTING FACTS

  • The Liquid-Silk Ceramide Elixir:Ā Oat Kernel Oil is one of nature's rare plant oils containing identical ceramides and phospholipids to those found naturally in human epidermis. It absorbs with a slow, velvety glide, leaving a dry, powdery-soft, liquid-silk finish without greasiness.
  • Ancient Skin-Comfort Heritage:Ā Oats (Avena sativa) have been cherished since Roman and Greek antiquity for their therapeutic colloidal baths and anti-itch poultices. Cold-pressing the groat concentrates its protective lipids into a soothing elixir for reactive, irritated skin.
  • Natural Emulsifier & Texture Booster:Ā Naturally containing polar lipids and membrane sterols, Oat Kernel Oil acts as a natural co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and balms, creating exceptionally smooth, stable emulsions that improve skin spreadability.
  • Ultra-Low Comedogenic Score (0ā€“1):Ā Despite its rich cushion and deep conditioning power, Oat Kernel Oil will not clog pores. It is tolerated even by reactive, acne-prone, rosacea-prone, and ultra-fragile infant skin barriers.
