Description
Colloidal Oatmeal Powder is a finely ground, water-dispersible form of whole oat kernels (Avena sativa) known for its soothing, protective, and moisturizing properties. Rich in beta-glucans, avenanthramides, proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides, it is widely used in skincare formulations for sensitive, dry, itchy, or irritated skin. It functions as a skin protectant, anti-inflammatory agent, humectant, and natural emulsifier, making it ideal for personal care and dermatological products.
