What are the benefits of oats?
When soaked in warm water, oats become soft and produce rich, soothing milk.
Oats have an anti-inflammatory effect on irritated, sore skin and may help to provide relief from itching.
They contain polysaccharides, which become gelatinous when mixed with water and leave a protective film on the skin.
They contain avenanthramides, a compound unique to oats which acts as an antioxidant and may contribute to their soothing effect.
What is oat?
Oats are among the many members of the grass family and are one of the most cultivated cereals in the world, along with wheat and rice. Wild oat seeds dating back to 2000 BC have been found in Egypt. They have been used for thousands of years as a way to soothe and treat the skin topically. The use of oats and oat extracts first gained popularity as a cosmetic ingredient during the 1930s, when their ability to relieve itching and protect the skin became widely understood.
