What it does

Oat extract (from Avena sativa) contains avenanthramides — polyphenols with potent anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties. Unlike colloidal oatmeal (whole ground oats), oat extract is a more concentrated and processed form. It is widely used in products for eczema, sensitive skin, and post-procedure recovery. Note: this is distinct from colloidal oatmeal (which is in our database separately).
