What is Colloidal Oat Powder?

Colloidal Oat (avena sativa kernel flower) is one of the healthiest grains on our planet and is packed with nutrients that are good for the body. With Colloidal Oat Powder you can make the finest DIY skincare products for your skin.

Benefits

Cleanses impure skin

Colloidal Oat Powder is rich in minerals and vitamins. A small handful of Oat Powder already contains 200% of the daily recommended amount of manganese and the powder is rich in phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Add to that a rich amount of vitamin B1, B9 and B12 and you have one of the most nutritious grains on earth on your plate. Additionally, oats are rich in beta-glucans: fibers that dissolve in water and lubricate your intestines like a gel. This gel is good for healthy cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels and the growth of healthy gut bacteria.

Soothes rough and dry skin

Oats contain various types of antioxidants, including the antioxidant avenanthramide which is unique to oats. This antioxidant supports healthy blood pressure and circulation and activates the body's self-healing ability.

Hydrates the skin

Oats can soothe dry, red and sensitive skin and support the skin's self-healing ability. Oat Powder contains fats, proteins and carbohydrates that deeply hydrate the skin.

Our colloidal oat powder is also called oat silk because of its silky smooth texture and feel on the skin. The powder has a micro size of 50 microns and is therefore great to incorporate in creams and lotions. Additionally, the powder contains 7% lipids and 12% proteins that soften and strengthen the skin.
