What It Does

Avena sativa Milk Powder is a spray-dried powder created from oat grains that have been processed into a milk-like suspension and then dehydrated. This ingredient is particularly valued in cosmetics for its high beta-glucan content (typically 1-2%), which forms a protective film on skin and provides exceptional soothing properties for sensitive or irritated skin. Formulators choose this ingredient not only for its emollient and skin-calming benefits, but also for its ability to improve product texture and provide a silky, non-greasy skin feel while delivering prebiotic benefits that support the skin's microbiome.
