This fine silky powder has been
produced using a unique process,
making it extremely easy to use even at low ambient temperatures. The
process increases the capability to absorb oil resulting in excellent creams
and lotions without an ‘oily’ feel.
The availability of beta glucan has been enhanced, which allows Oat
Cosmetics Colloidal Oatmeal to exhibit more effective moisturising properties
than alternative colloidal oatmeals.
Colloidal Oatmeal is a natural anti-irritant, that gives a silky smooth feel to the
skin. It has good skin buffering properties and is an effective UVA sunscreen
and antioxidant. It also demonstrates excellent cleansing properties.
This is the first Ecocert Natural Colloidal Oatmeal available.
