The Alternative To Micro-plastics

Micro-plastic beads that wash down drains cannot be filtered out by many wastewater treatment plants, meaning that they slip easily into waterways. Fish and other marine animals often eat them, which can be fatal and also introduces potentially toxic substances into the food chain.

Countries have moved to ban the use of micro-plastics in cosmetics and Oat BioBeads are a natural, marine biodegradable and skin beneficial alternative.

Key Properties

Oat Active

Encapsulates advanced colloidal oatmeal, Oat COM, into collapsible cellulose beads. Acts as a redness reducer, skin soother and relieves skin disorders.

Skin Soother

Oat BioBeads soften in water, breaking easily when rubbed on the skin. Allows the active Oat COM to be used in wider range of formulations.

Safe to Use

These biodegradable microbeads are safe to use on skin and hair as no irritation, redness or damage will occur with use.
