Colloidal Oat PF

Traditional remedies, passed down through generations are becoming staple ingredients in cosmetic applications. Oatmeal remedies for soothing baths and creamy moisturizers are just a few of the beneficial ways to enjoy the tried and true ingredient. Oats are an important crop utilized for a variety of purposes including food, livestock feed,

and cosmetic materials. Nutritional properties and skin loving benefits place colloidal oatmeal above the rest.

Colloidal oatmeal is known for its ability to interact with the skin while providing rejuvenating benefits. With a smaller particle size than traditional oatmeal or oat flour, colloidal oatmeal is more bioavailable to the skin. This allows the skin to utilize the components of colloidal oatmeal more readily including the known soothing, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition to minimizing irritation, colloidal oatmeal is known to improve barrier function and reduce water

loss. It is important to keep skin hydrated, but it is equally important to lock in the moisture, which ultimately reduces itchy and dry skin. The potent known moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant benefits typically associated with colloidal oatmeal

originate from oat bran. The bran is known to contain nutrients, lipids, beta glucans, and avenanthramides. Antiinflammatory properties can assist to reduce redness and inflammaging, which is aging associated with inflammation. Antioxidants protect against free radical damage. This cellular damage can result in fine lines, wrinkles, reduced

wound healing, and accelerated signs of aging. ABS Colloidal Oat PF provides the opportunity to capitalize on the benefits associated with colloidal oats in a variety of hair and skin care applications
