Many of you (purely from the fact that you are reading this blog) will be aware of Oat Cosmetics and how we supply sustainable cosmetic ingredients, the majority of which are derived from oats, to the global beauty and personal care markets. Perhaps what you aren’t aware of is our parent company Oat Services and the work that they undertake – with the launch of the new Oat Services website, www.oat.co.uk, this information is readily accessible but I am pleased to provide a summary.
