Oat Oil Refined-Lipid

Botanical Name: Avena Sativa

Country of Origin:  Sweden

Our premium quality Oat Oil is luxurious and nourishing. An amber coloured oil that has a unique lipid profile containing 10% polar and skin equivalent lipids.  Oat Oil is derived from Avena Sativa (Oats) and offers excellent absorbency and protective properties.  It is easily absorbed into the skin leaving a non-greasy feel whilst hydrating, soothing and moisturising the skin.

Technically (for those who love the chemistry) “the ceramides and membrane equivalent phospholipids contained within the Oat Lipid support the barrier function to keep skin in a healthy condition, slowing down skin aging and maintaining the stratum corneum”

Oat Oil locks in moisture by forming a physical barrier to TEWL (trans epidermal water loss) and acts as an occlusive and a humectant due to the high Ceramide content.  Oat Oil is particularly useful for nourishing mature/maturing, sensitive and damaged skin and to soothe and support the elasticity of the skin and hair.

Oat Oil can be formulated within a wide range of pH levels; add Oat Oil to the oil phase after removing from heat (at less than 75°C)

This wonderful ingredient is extracted from oats grown on Swedish farms using sustainable farming methods.  The oats are sourced and processed close to the farm, which helps reduce degradation of the raw oats and reduces environmental impact.
