Oat Lipid e is a superior oat oil with a unique lipid profile. It consists of skin-identical ceramides, free fatty acids, triacylglycerols, cholesterols/sterols and antioxidants (vitamin E), which support skin health.

It is a versatile ingredient which can be formulated for hair products as well, wherein it enhances hair shine, improves manageability and protects the hair strands (shaft, cuticle, and cortex) from UV exposure-induced ceramide degradation.
