Colloidal Oatmeal

Colloidal Oatmeal

Colloidal oatmeal is a finely ground, highly efficacious botanical ingredient derived from whole oat kernels. Recognized globally for its exceptional therapeutic properties, it is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to soothing dry, red, and irritated skin.

A major component of colloidal oatmeal's efficacy comes from its high concentration of beta-glucans. These naturally occurring polysaccharide compounds act as exceptional humectants, meaning they have the phenomenal ability to draw in and lock moisture into the skin. By forming a breathable, water-binding film on the skin's surface, beta-glucans calm active irritation and ensure deep, lasting hydration.

In addition to hydration, colloidal oatmeal is rich in essential lipids and omega fatty acids. These fatty acids are crucial for repairing and supporting a compromised skin barrier. By filling in the gaps between skin cells, they help fortify the skin's natural shield, locking hydration in and keeping external environmental irritants out.

Furthermore, colloidal oatmeal contains unique, potent antioxidant compounds called avenanthramides. Found almost exclusively in oats, avenanthramides are clinically proven to interrupt inflammatory pathways in the skin, drastically reducing the redness, itching, and discomfort associated with severely dry skin or conditions like eczema.
