Hydrolyzed Oat Protein in Natural Skin Care

Oats, in almost all forms, have been used since the beginning of time in the treatment of all manner of skin ailments, offering skin softening, skin soothing, and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Hydrolyzed Oats are the liquidized or soluble form of naturally derived whole oats. This golden liquid contains oligosaccharides, which are large sugar molecules attached to either lipids (fats) or in this case, proteins.  When used in cosmetics, hydrolyzed oats have the ability to maintain elasticity and to help moisture skin, making them a fabulous humectant, and especially for those living in arid conditions.
