Welcome to the world of ready-to-use colloidal oatmeal extract! This ingredient is ready to be incorporated into any of your formulas without having to extract it yourself or work with the powder colloidal oats. Yes! More efficient is the name of the game. Oatmeal has been proven to be so beneficial for the skin that the FDA recognizes it as a skin protectant.

Colloidal oatmeal extract is a pre-hydrated version of colloidal oats, designed to increase rejuvenating benefits for both hair and skin. Colloidal oatmeal extract is made by finely grinding down the oats, and then activating with water to produce an extract. Colloidal oatmeal extract is processed with the bran, which is the key working ingredient.

Oatmeal has long been known to have tremendous soothing and healing benefits to inflamed skin. Colloidal Oatmeal has a smaller particle size than traditional oatmeal making it more bioavailable for the skin.

Oat Bran is the functional part of oatmeal. The bran contains lipids, beta-glucans, avenanthramides, and antioxidants that work to reduce redness and inflammation. These same active properties also work to protect against free radical damage, decrease fine lines and wrinkles, increase moisture retention in the skin, accelerate wound healing, and decrease signs of aging.

Avenanthramides are individual to oats that still contain the bran. These are a group of phenolic alkaloids. Studies done show that this key ingredient has stellar anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-itch, and anti-irritant activities.

Oatmeal works by binding to skin and hair follicles, locking in moisture, and allowing for healing and repair. Colloidal oatmeal extract also reduces redness and inflammation in the scalp and on the skin, and can help reduce itching. In addition, colloidal oatmeal extract can help balance the skin’s pH.

Oatmeal is known as a skin protectant, which means it absorbs UVA rays and can help protect from pollutant absorption. This makes colloidal oatmeal extract an excellent addition to your natural sun protection products.
