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-nourishing properties of the original oil and contains functional lipid compounds that have a particularly nourishing and regenerating effect. Its buttery texture makes it especially pleasant to use.(1-8)

Advantages:

Soothes skin irritation and helps relieve itching.

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

Supports the skin's natural barrier and strengthens dry, rough, or stressed skin.

Ideal for soothing and barrier-strengthening formulations.
