“Enriched with Oat Kernel Oil to restore balance in skin, Oat Kernel Flour to improve skin texture, Oat Seed Water to provide calming relief to sensitive skin while restoring balance in tandem, and Oat Kernel Extract to maintain moisture levels and prevent dryness. Suitable for dry and sensitive skin.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
arginine, avena sativa kernel flour.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
This product contains antioxidants (avena sativa seed water) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
