Oat (Aveena Sativa) Kernel Extract: A soothing, calming extract rich in proteins, lipids and beta glucan. This extract is of great benefit to the skin and has been successfully used for the treatment of skin problems and disorders such as acne, pimples, blemishes, eczema, dermatitis, shingles and herpes.

It has great anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties and has been used extensively in cosmetic preparations for many years.

Oats extract is especially used in products that have a moisturizing and anti-aging effect, as well as in products that are used to alleviate acne, pimples and to treat problem skin.

The main constituents of oats extract are saponins (avenacosides A and B, avenacin) and polyphenols.

Although the cosmetic use of oats in folklore is firmly entrenched and has stood the test of time, it has been proven in modern cosmetics to offer very valuable properties and yield excellent results.
