Reduces Irritation
These ingredients are often used to help reduce irritation and support the skin barrier. They can be especially helpful for soothing sensitive or reactive skin, but how well they work can vary from person to person.
Explained
Avena Sativa Kernel Extract is is derived from colloidal oatmeal. Besides being a healthy breakfast, oats have many benefits in skincare too.
This ingredient helps sooth, hydrate, and protect the skin. The starches in colloidal oatmeal are able to bind water, keeping the skin hydrated.
The cellulose and fiber in colloidal oatmeal help reduce inflammation. This can also help the skin feel softer.
Colloidal Oatmeal is also an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect our skin from free-radical damage.
Oatmeal also contains beneficial compounds:
- Avenacins have anti-fungal properties
- Saponins have a cleaning affect
This ingredient is created by mixing grounded oatmeal and a liquid base.
