Oat Bran Extract

What is it?

Oat Bran Extract is derived from the bran of Avena sativa (oat), part of the same oat-derived ingredient family as colloidal oatmeal, used in skincare for its soothing and barrier-supporting properties.

What does it do?

Commonly used to help soothe and support the skin barrier, particularly in atopic-prone skin. A clinical study of a colloidal-oat-containing baby wash found it gentle and effective for atopic-prone infant skin, and a literature review of colloidal oat emollients found supportive evidence for pediatric atopic dermatitis prevention and treatment — this evidence concerns closely related oat-derived formulations (colloidal oatmeal) rather than oat bran extract specifically.
