Oat Oil (Avena Sativa Kernel Oil) is a deeply nourishing and soothing oil extracted from the kernels of whole oats. Rich in essential fatty acids, ceramides, and antioxidants, it is highly valued in skincare for its ability to hydrate, protect, and calm sensitive skin.

The Benefits of Oat Oil: Gentle, Nourishing, and Soothing

Oat Oil is a luxurious, skin-loving ingredient packed with nutrients that promote hydration and calm irritation. Its natural composition closely resembles the lipids found in human skin, allowing it to absorb effortlessly and deliver deep nourishment where it’s needed most.

Deep Hydration & Barrier Support

Oat Oil helps to lock in moisture by reinforcing the skin’s natural lipid barrier. This prevents water loss and shields the skin from external irritants, making it an ideal moisturiser for dry, flaky, or stressed skin.

Soothing & Anti-Inflammatory

Known for its calming qualities, Oat Oil is rich in avenanthramides—natural compounds that help reduce redness, itching, and inflammation. It’s especially beneficial for those with eczema, psoriasis, or other sensitive skin concerns.

Rich in Ceramides & Antioxidants

Oat Oil naturally contains ceramides, which play a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin structure. Combined with powerful antioxidants, it helps protect against environmental damage and supports long-term skin health.

Lightweight, Non-Greasy Texture

Oat Oil delivers intense moisture without a heavy or greasy feel. It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling soft, supple, and smooth—perfect for everyday use on both body and face.
