Oats are known for their soothing qualities, they are very gentle on the skin and we use a decoction made from oatmeal in our colour supplements as it's well-suited to the delicate skin of your face.

Decoctions are made in-house at Lush by boiling raw materials in water until half of the water evaporates. When oats are soaked like this, they become milky, and produce a concentrated liquid extract full of benefits.
