colLoidal oatmeal

For centuries, colloidal oatmeal has been a salve for itchy, dry, or irritated skin.

 

Colloidal oatmeal is made by grinding oat grains, or Avena sativa, into a very fine powder.
It is considered an emollient because it packs fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients shown to benefit the skin.

​

Colloidal oatmeal has the following benefits:

​

• Moisturises - Restores moisture to dehydrated skin.

• Soothes - Oatmeal has soothing action on sensitive skin.

• Protects - Creates a protective film on upper most layer of skin.

• pH - Restores the natural pH of skin.

• Cleanses - Oat particles adhere to dirt and dead skin cells allowing them to be washed away.
   

Colloidal oatmeal is clinically proven to help relieve dry and sensitive skin.

​

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officially categorised colloidal oatmeal as a skin protectant in 2003.
