Oat COM: Advanced Colloidal Oatmeal for Healthier Skin

Colloidal oatmeal is a natural cosmetic ingredient obtained from Avena sativa (oats).

The whole oat grain, including the bran layer, is milled and sieved. This results in a light cream coloured, fine powder. The bran layer of the oat contains a high proportion of natural actives including, oat beta-glucan, avenanthramides, oil and protein, all of which are beneficial for cosmetic use on the skin.

A ‘colloid’ or colloidal suspension is defined as a substance with dispersed insoluble particles suspended throughout.

Long Term Skin Trial - Combined Skin Cohort

A – Product left their skin feeling moisturised
B – Product left their skin feeling soft
C – Product soothed their skin
D – Product nourished the skin

The combined cohort trial was designed to show Oat COM’s ability to demonstrate anti-aging activity over all skin types. The subjects were asked to assess the products moisturizing, soothing, nourishing and skin feel properties.

The results demonstrated that Oat COM, at a low inclusion rate of 3%, displayed remarkable rapid and sustained anti-aging effects. The results were very impressive after 30 days but continued to be high over the whole 90-day period. This demonstrated that Oat COM provides excellent long-term skin care benefits as an effective active over all skin types by moisturising, soothing and nourishing the skin.

Corneometer and Tewameter % Improvement

Corneometer Units (Corneometer Units) – Determines the hydration levels of the skin surface

Tewameter (g/h/m2) – Evaluates the water barrier function of the skin

Skin Repair Properties
This study was carried out on 15 healthy adult subjects over a period of 10 days. Two skin areas on the volar forearms were pre-irritated using a 0.5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate solution, one area was covered with a patch coated with 0.6% Oat COM and the other an uncoated control. The test sites were assessed at the start, day 1 and day 5. Rate of recovery was compared.

The combination of Tewameter and Corneometer results showed that Oat COM supported the increased rate of repair of the skin.
