Hydrolyzed Oats

This naturally derived, soluble form of hydrolyzed whole oats that contains mainly oligosaccharides (carbohydrates). This novel skin care ingredient can be used to improve the feel properties of creams and lotions and imparts a soft, cushiony feel on the skin, giving it a near-velvet smoothness after drying. Can be used neat—non-greasy, non-sticky.

Studies have shown that Hydrolyzed Oats retain significantly more moisture no matter what the humidity, and gain up to 50% more moisture at relative low humidity—when extra moisture is most needed.

Recommended use levels are 1-5%.
