Oat BioBeads are a unique and novel delivery system for Oat COM, and are on-trend as a sustainable, micro-plastic replacement.

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.
