Oat Bran Extract
What Oat Bran Extract is & what it does
Oat Bran Extract is derived from the outer bran layer of the oat grain (Avena sativa). It is rich in beta-glucan, a polysaccharide prized in skincare for its film-forming and water-binding properties, and oat ingredients are widely associated with soothing, comforting effects on the skin. In sunscreen and moisturizer formulas it is used as a skin-conditioning and softening botanical.
