Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour
💚Very good
Also known as: Colloidal Oatmeal
What it is
Finely ground oat kernels. It is recognized by the FDA as an over-the-counter skin protectant.
How it works
Colloidal oatmeal forms a protective film on the skin that helps to retain moisture. It contains compounds like beta-glucan (a humectant), lipids (for barrier repair), and avenanthramides (potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents) that work together to soothe, moisturize, and protect the skin.
