Oatmeal offers moisturising cleansing and protective benefits for skin
Oatmeal is great for soothing itchy or irritated skin. It's often referred to as Avena sativa (oat) kernel meal, and is great for lifting away dead cells, irritation, and redness, leaving behind a soft, moist glow.
Hydrating: Oats contain polysaccharides, forming a gelatinous substance in water which leaves a fine protective film on the skin, preventing dullness, flaking and dryness.
Soothing: Oatmeal contains soothing substances to calm itching and irritation.
Moisturizing: Oats are rich in moisturizing essential fatty acids.
Protective: The proteins in oatmeal help maintain the skin's natural protective barrier keeping out contaminants and keeping moisture in.
Pore cleansing: Oats are naturally high in purifying natural cleansers (or saponins) that gently remove dirt and oil from the pores.
