Colloidal Oatmeal
Other names: Colloidal oatmeal
Harm score: 1 (Natural substances)
Colloidal oatmeal, also known as Colloidal Oatmeal, has recently become an increasingly popular raw material in the cosmetics industry. Their unique properties present valuable benefits for the care of sensitive and problematic skin. In fact, colloidal oats, or finely ground oatmeal, have highly nourishing properties that protect the skin from irritation, soothe it and help maintain its natural hydration.
Colloidal oats are often used in products designed for dry, sensitive or atopic skin. They often appear in body lotions, creams, shower gels or face masks. Their widespread use is due to the fact that colloidal oat flakes help to maintain the skin's natural pH, promote skin regeneration and have anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, these products are also often used for patients with eczema, psoriasis or various types of dermatitis. Another common use is in products for the care of children's skin, which is particularly sensitive and prone to irritation. In cosmetics, colloidal oats generally serve as emollients, which means that they increase skin hydration by reducing evaporation of water from the skin surface. This contributes to its elasticity and resistance to external influences.
