HYDROGENATED OAT KERNEL OIL

Hydrogenated oat kernel oil, also known as oat butter, is a firmer, creamier version of oat oil that has been stabilized through hydrogenation. This oat butter retains the essential skin-care properties of the original oil and contains functional lipid compounds that have a particularly nourishing and regenerating effect. Its buttery texture makes it particularly pleasant to use. (1-8)

Advantages:

Supports the skin in case of irritation and helps with itching.

Protects the skin from moisture loss and leaves it feeling supple.

Promotes the natural skin barrier and strengthens dry, rough or stressed skin.

Ideal for soothing and barrier-strengthening formulations.
